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 […]

I was being sarcastic!
In response to the harsh attacks on Facebook, I would like to apologize to all of the liberal studies majors who did not get that my letter to the editor on Halloween was completely sarcastic. I was sick of two things, being called an MRS major, and the CP Salsa editorials. Jessica Potter Liberal studies […]

To my kid's future teacher
First of all, Miss Jessica Potter, you would be damn lucky to have the honor and privilege of baby-sitting one of my children. And based on your letter, I wouldn’t be surprised if that turned out to be the highlight of your life. If you and your liberal studies colleagues don’t mind being anything more […]

How to use a degree
I really hope that Jessica Potter’s letter was meant to be sarcastic. If not, it is her way of thinking that women have fought for so long and hard to change. First, why on earth would she attend a university such as Cal Poly, a university that is so highly esteemed that it can not […]

Liberal studies is not a joke
I am writing this letter in response to Jessica Potter’s letter to the editor. I completely disagree with her points that liberal studies majors belong in the home. If some women came here to find an engineer husband or plan on settling down at home in the future, fine. I think that Potter was making […]

There's nothing wrong with staying at home
I want to start off by saying there is nothing wrong with wanting to be a stay-at-home parent. And there’s nothing wrong with going to college and still deciding to be a stay at home parent. Jessica Potter has a point; some people (men included), are happiest in the home. Anyone that has done any […]
