As you may or may not know, faithful Mustang Daily reader, the current Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder is Chuck Liddell – local celebrity and enormous woman. For those not familiar […]

Bradford Applin As I sit here tanning in the faint glow radiating from my computer monitor, eating stale Oreos and contemplating cracking open my textbook for the first time this quarter, several possible New Year’s resolutions come to mind.

Daniel Gingras The first time I really sat down and thought about how sexually charged our generation has become was at a Cotillion Club dance in high school. Members of the Cotillion Club were upperclassmen only (juniors and seniors) whose privilege was to attend regular banquet dances at a fancy hotel. There were three extremely […]

It’s filled with new and updated recommendations for the diet and exercise regimens of all Americans over the age of two. Did you hear about it? The government even gave the Pyramid its […]

A storied rivalry. Heisman hopefuls. An undefeated record to maintain. BCS Bowl games on the line. The most powerful offenses in the country go head-to-head. When USC and UCLA take the field this Saturday, my television will be tuned into ESPN2. That’s right, I will be watching Cal Poly vs. Texas State in the Division […]

Emily Rancer Oy vey, the holidays are almost here! And while I may not have a recipe for honey-baked ham or roast duck, I do have a Hanukkah favorite: latkes (potato pancakes). No matter how many Jewish mothers you ask, each one will have a different recipe for you. This one happens to be my […]
