Erik Dawley, how can you be so ignorant? Your argument that aliens abducting stupid people keeps our nation strong against terrorists is horrible. What we as a nation need to do is make our stupid people the most visible to the terrorists. If the terrorists see only stupid people, they will laugh at us. If […]

Stop the yelling and try peace for a change
I find it interesting to see how people react to confrontation. On Monday in the UU, several individuals decided to voice their strong religious morals to everyone who walked by. From a personal point of view, not everything said was true. Although they were within their First Amendment rights, yelling and screaming at others to […]

Frankly Speaking 11-9-05
Frank Stranzl Just 128 more days until March Madness begins! Heck yes! There is no sport I love to watch more than college basketball. Time-tested rivalry and tradition combined with team-oriented strategy and an emphasis on fundamentals makes the college brand of basketball the better brand of basketball. While NBA highlight reels are fun to […]

Why are we fighting?
Yesterday, a friend of mine who is a physics major told me about a paper he read. This paper put forward the idea that stars don’t exert a gravitational force, but instead exert a repulsive force, and that this is why the universe is expanding. Naturally, we had a good laugh. It never crossed our […]

Baker's salary makes sense
For all of you who read Monday’s Halloween Daily posting President Baker’s salary, there is a reason he is the highest paid president in the CSU system. First, realize that President Baker’s job is not university administration, but rather the advancement of higher education. He received only a 13 percent raise ($30,000) when he has […]

Vote yes on Proposition 73
I challenge each of you to throw your ideological loyalties to the side and closely evaluate what this proposition means to your current and future families. Whether you are the most liberal student or a self-proclaimed libertarian, Proposition 73 may not be as ideologically polarizing as it may seem. This proposition would require minor, to […]

Are you a terrorist?
Jack Ingram Nov. 6, 2005 – When I applied for this position as a columnist, I did so with the intention of “popping” something. No, not your cherry, but your bubble – our bubble – created by the collective advantages we enjoy by virtue of being American. I hope that my column makes people think […]

The truth about teachers
I hope everyone votes next week, and as you might expect, I have some views to share. Teachers are not “guaranteed jobs for life.” My wife works at the elementary level on an annual contract. Her job performance is the responsibility of her principal, who does not bother. The curriculum she teaches is mandated 100 […]

Mustang Daily is a public forum
The time for a student movement to protect the First Amendment is now. A fight to preserve student press rights awaits many college newspapers, and the repercussions of a recent court case could reach much further than simply the press. The rights of every college student could be at risk as the United States Supreme […]

Your extra hair will protect you from the winter chill. Peach fuzz? Thick-haired neck? Dirty ‘stache? Men, wear them proud! Ladies, […]

Go vote. It is patriotic.
Unbelievable. The Nov. 8 special election is rapidly approaching with initiatives that will dictate the running of our state for years to come, and all students seem to feel passionate enough about to write into the Daily is complaints about the inflammatory statements of one Jessica Potter. What she implied was ridiculous but surely there […]
