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 […]

Turn off the VH-1 already
Jessica Dean and Robin Rodriguez OK, so we’ve all done it. You come home from a long day and your roommate is watching a marathon of “I Love the 80’s” on VH-1. So you sit down for a couple of minutes and before you know it, three hours have passed. You didn’t mean to do […]

Liberal studies students deserve respect
As one of the many liberal studies majors left upset and very confused by your letter, I am glad to know you were kidding. Though I do not think many people got the joke. Your letter and the responses it has received have done little more than trivialize our major. (And the Mustang Daily has […]

There's more to life than marriage
I was quite offended and upset that Ms. Potter has such an archaic attitude towards the female population at Cal Poly. According to her, a female’s place in society is in the home. When I read this I immediately called my grandma and she was shocked. What did the women of the past work so […]

Speak for yourself
Disclaimer: Jessica Potter, we hope your letter was a satire portraying LS majors, but if not, we highly suggest you read this letter. As seniors, approaching the end of our liberal studies credential program, we find your letter to the editor ridiculous. We accept that there are individuals in our major who are at Cal […]

From a male liberal studies major
Jessica, my name is Brian. I and the other 450 liberal studies majors couldn’t help but read your letter. Were you serious or were you trying to be ironic? If you were being ironic or sarcastic, you need to work on your sense of irony and your sense of humor because people in our major […]

Finding passion in your career
Jessica Potter’s letter is degrading, not only to liberal studies majors, but to all women. The idea that liberal studies majors might be in it for the sole purpose of stimulating the minds of children, is apparently far too profound for her to grasp. I’d like to know who this “we” is that she refers […]

Women can have both a career and a marriage
If you are here to get your MRS degree, do you actually go to your classes? You do? Well, are you that girl who dresses up like you are going downtown on a Saturday night for you 8 a.m. classes? Aren’t you uncomfortable walking around our vast, hilly campus all day? We all know that […]

I'm a Daddy's Girl, but I don't need a bumper sticker to prove it
I am particularly annoyed by certain bad drivers. Not to make snap-judgments, but if you cut me off AND happen to have an annoying “Daddy’s Girl” bumper sticker on your Jetta, I particularly dislike you and eliminate any possibility of us being friends. Not only are you unable to drive, you are a baby. It […]

One of the few who appreciates good humor
I love a good laugh. That’s why I enjoyed Jessica Potter’s witty and sarcastic letter about liberal studies majors. It actually made me chuckle out loud to my roommates. So can you imagine how many times I guffawed, how many tissues I had to use to wipe away tears of hilarity, upon reading the plethora […]

The advantages of monotony . . . oops, monogamy
Janice Edman A few weeks ago, while out at the bars with a group of friends, someone noticed that a staggeringly large amount of guys seemed to be out on the prowl. Cheesy pick-up lines and lustful stares abounded, and I wondered what had spiked the urge in these guys to find a girl. Finally […]
