I would just like to take a moment to comment on Grant Desme’s letter, 12/2/05. I quote, “It is not our job as Christians to judge one’s soul.” Oddly enough, this came only one paragraph after, “On the other hand, homosexuality is wrong whether or not one is a priest as the Old Testament states […]

Religion is a belief, not a fact
I have to say, Grant Desme’s hypocrisy is deplorable. Desme must have been trying to infuriate intelligent students when he said, “It is not our place job as Christians to judge one’s soul” in the same letter as “homosexuality is a sin.” Does he not understand this blantant contradiction? If we are taught to not […]

The Cal Poly pyramid
Jessica Dean and Robin Rodriguez Last spring, the United States Department of Agriculture released its newest diet innovation, the Food Guide Pyramid. It’s filled with new and updated recommendations for the diet and exercise regimens of all Americans over the age of two. Did you hear about it? The government even gave the Pyramid its […]

Garrett Leight sounds off
A storied rivalry. Heisman hopefuls. An undefeated record to maintain. BCS Bowl games on the line. The most powerful offenses in the country go head-to-head. When USC and UCLA take the field this Saturday, my television will be tuned into ESPN2. That’s right, I will be watching Cal Poly vs. Texas State in the Division […]

Jesus loves everyone
The Church has specific moral guidelines (such as celibacy) in place for priests to follow in order to benefit the parish community they are serving. On the other hand, homosexuality is wrong whether or not one is a priest as the Old Testament states in Leviticus 18:22 and in 20:13. On the same note there […]

Have some respect bus-stallers
Dearest Mustang Daily, I take the bus to Cal Poly daily and enough is enough. Damn those effing people that walk in front of the bus making the 60 or so students on board wait. And wait. Get off your phone, stop reading and pay attention! Is that too much to ask? It is as […]

Plagiarism is not a universally-understood concept
Students press to succeed in class and as a result from pressure, ignorance and laziness, students plagiarize in written works and assignments. According to an unscientific survey conducted at Cal Poly of 40 random students, one in every four students admitted to plagiarizing during their academic years. Some university professors think the understanding of plagiarism […]

Cell phones are ruining America
A few weeks ago I was at a Rolling Stones concert in San Francisco, and as I was looking down the rows I kept noticing small blue lights popping up. I didn’t think much of it until I noticed a man in front of me pulling out his camera phone and taking shots of the […]

The Outdoor Gunn 12-1-05
Christopher Gunn The sun set at 4:51 p.m. Tuesday. With the sun retreating towards the horizon at what seems like an extraordinary pace these days, and cloudy skies beginning to filter in with the first signs of winter rains, it may seem like there isn’t enough time or opportunity in the day to do anything […]

Nice guys finish-first?
Janice Edman There seems to be a well-circulated notion that the “dangerous” members of the opposite sex contain a mysterious, irresistible quality. A recent letter to the editor here in the Mustang Daily bemoaned the fact that most girls would rather rev off into the sunset with a motorcycle-driving tattoo artist instead of driving […]

God can handle his own affairs
In response to Ingram’s article, “Who would Jesus hate?” I must say that it sounded more like a rant than any organized thought process. Yes, I understand your anger about the molestation of children, and you appear to support the rights of gays, but what does that have to do with Jesus hating anybody? I […]
