You’re going after the wrong crowd Finally, someone seems to share my opinion of the rape displays that have been popping up around campus for the two years (going on three) that I’ve been here. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t disagree with the general message. Rape is certainly wrong and should be prevented at […]

The CPSalsa posters must come down to preserve love
This response to the CPSalsa issue may come a day or two late, but I feel I need to vocally support what has been said by some of the supposed “very small minority.” I am glad the posters were covered because of one thing: Such images engender within me lustful desires. I admit it – […]

Group will form to educate campus of red handprints
In light of your story related to the red handprints used to identify where a sexual assault occurred on campus, I would like to comment on the university’s position. Consistent with university policy, Cal Poly will continue the practice of placing red prints on campus when reported sexual assaults occur. All areas of the university […]

University must address the transportation problem
It is 7:30 a.m. on Monday when my front door swings open and I am submerged into another foggy morning. I wrestle my bike out the door and off the porch. Too early to be awake and too cold to be on a bike, I quickly compromise my way through downtown as I look for […]

Rancer's Recipes
Emily Rancer While I do have a passion for copy editing the Mustang Daily, I also love to cook. In fact, I cook for 100 people at least once a month for Hillel’s Shabbat dinners (that’s the Jewish club at Cal Poly). So I guess you could say I’m a Jewish mother in training who’s […]

Ignorance is not bliss
Maybe hiding international news from Americans is part of President Bush’s secret agenda to bolster his decreasing popularity ratings. A massive earthquake has devastated the Kashmir region in Pakistan/India, and no one seems to know or care about it. The Tribune’s Oct. 10 headlining story regarded residents of Creston and their feelings about an old […]

The Outdoor Gunn 10-13-05
Chris Gunn On Monday, I was at Pismo surfing just south of the pier in what turned out to be some exceptionally nice waves. They were clean, glassy, three to five feet, semi powerful and amazing for Pismo. On this particular day there were a large number of guys out, and most of them were […]

Providing faculty housing is not the answer, raising salaries is
At first glance, providing a few faculty/staff with housing (Housing Projects on the Horizon, 10/6) for between $300,000 and $400,000 seems like a good solution to the housing problem. Upon further review, however, I believe it is a long-term waste of money. First, even at these prices most new faculty will not be able to […]

Censorship and the First Amendment
With heat rising from the recent controversy of the spicy posters put up by the Cal Poly Salsa Club, censorship has once again forced itself into the limelight. The huge uproar thus far stands on the side against censoring the posters due to a fair right to view whatever we want, which is granted in […]

Alex Spanos, I want an answer
So, this is great. As I am watching Monday Night Football, John Madden (esteemed Cal Poly alumnus) and Al Michaels have a “special” guest, our Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. I more than understand the politics that must go on in order to make the world, and our state, go around. Now, I recall how heavily Gov. […]

Administration must stop acts of ignorance
I have always hated the popular phrase “ignorance is bliss.” Fall quarter has almost been in session for four weeks and already the administration has committed acts that deprive students of truth and knowledge on campus. The removal of the symbolic red handprints at places where sexual assaults have occurred was an act that spread […]
