Christopher Gunn Four to five feet, shoulder to head-high and fair conditions. That is what the surf line report for Morro Bay alleged on Saturday last week. This report, in addition to a first- hand account of the waves from earlier in the morning, was enough to inspire a trip to “The Rock” with hopes […]

Daniel Sexplains It All
Daniel Gingras There is a curious practice in society today. Telephone “calls” are made to “booty,” “benefits” are obtained from “friends” and “buddies” are “f–ed around with. There are a lot of euphemisms thrown around for that naughty but thrilling interaction: a relationship founded solely on recreational sex. Urbandictionary.com even cites the absurdly amusing term […]

Not all terrorists are Muslim
This is in response to Scott Nordholm’s letter “Everyone has the right to be wrong.” He explains “these Muslim terrorists need not a reason to attack America.” The article already fails to address other terrorists acts committed by NON-Muslims. “Terrorist – a radical who employs terror as a political weapon.” Nowhere does it say terrorist […]

Can we say hypocrite?
Last week, National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley admitted that our pre-war intelligence about Iraq’s possession of weapons of mass destruction was wrong: “There was collective intelligence judgment – Turns out we were wrong.” Just last month, in a motivational speech, President Bush declared, “(Americans) are determined to deny weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and […]

Show some respect, Jack
Mr. Ingram, I am appalled by your disrespect. So Nick didn’t go to New York in September, he went in October. Where the hell were you? Sitting safe and comfortable on your couch watching the firemen on TV? While as a 17-year-old, Nick was out there picking through rubble and dead bodies? He went because […]

Take your negative attitude somewhere else
While reading the Mustang Daily on Tuesday, my attention was drawn to the letters to the editor section. One letter in particular struck a nerve. Matt Bozigar who has no affiliation with the Cal Poly men’s soccer team, except for being a fan, wrote a critical piece on the coach and the team. Being a […]

Condition of education doesn't back up raises
This letter is in response to Jack Ingram’s article “It’s an opinion …” and “Are you a terrorist?” Jack writes, “When I applied for this position as a columnist, I did so with the intention of ‘popping’ something.” Wow. You did? This makes me think that the Mustang Daily is like Taco Bell – they’ll […]

It's called the soapbox, people!
Clearly, when you want to say someone was wrong to attack another, the best way to do it is to attack them. I was amazed at the sheer volume of responses to Jack Ingram’s column yesterday. Guess what, it’s HIS column and he actually managed to turn his retort into a general talk, analyzing Nick’s […]

Frankly Speaking 11-16-05
Frank Stranzl First off, congratulations to Matt Johnsrud, who qualified for the NCAA Cross Country Championships by finishing 17th at the West Regional meet over the weekend. It’s truly an accomplishment to compete at a national championship event. Honestly, I think Matt and the entire cross-country team deserves props just for competing in their sport. […]

Rancer's Recipes 11-17-05
Emily Rancer As fall turns into winter, some hearty chili may become your perfect seasonal comfort food (despite this week’s crazy weather). Next week should be much cooler so cut out this recipe and save it until then. Or if you just really love chili, make it tonight! This recipe is unbelievably inexpensive (you’ll spend […]

Students and staff give quality performance in "Proof"
I would like to take this opportunity to give a hearty round of applause to the Theatre and Dance Department’s Fall production of the Pulitzer Prize winning play, “Proof.” If you did not get a chance to see it last weekend (Nov. 10, 11 and 12) run to the box office as fast as you […]
