Have you noticed the change around campus? Burdens have been removed and joy has filled our souls as a result of throwing away our razors for the next 30 days. Do not be afraid! Your extra hair will protect you from the winter chill. Peach fuzz? Thick-haired neck? Dirty ‘stache? Men, wear them proud! Ladies, […]

What's your major
Khaled Hal Saad In our late teens, we’re required to pick a major of study and apply to the universities that offer them. This decision is fraught with difficulty; some students are simply too young or inexperienced to know what topics engage them. But it’s amazing how one’s choice of a major carries with it […]

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 […]

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 […]

On Monogamy
Daniel Gingras I have two major gripes with monogamy. The first is the exclusion of the menage Aÿ trois. (Impensable!) The second is monogamy’s persistent elusion of me. (Tragique!) Actually, the menage Aÿ trois continues to elude me too. (Quelle surprise-) In my mind there are only two states: the state of being in a […]

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 […]

Rancer's Recipes 11-3-05
Emily Rancer After coming home from that afternoon class, a frozen dinner can be enough to satisfy your needs. But I challenge you to make today’s salad as a healthier option or, gasp, your next meal’s side dish (yes, side dishes can exist in college). This recipe will take you a whopping 10 minutes to […]

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 […]

Where's the value in liberal arts?
Let me just start out by saying that I think the liberal arts major is kind of a useless major. You learn a little bit of everything, but nothing much of anything. But I do respect those that actually plan on doing something with their degree, like become a teacher. I feel bad for those […]

Let's get the letters flowing
So, let me get this straight: anything I write here, even if it’s obviously completely sarcastic, is going to be taken seriously by everyone at the school and engender volumes of frothing hate mail? Cool! In that case, let me say right now that I fully support renaming the College of Engineering the “College of […]

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 […]
