Due to the implementation of furloughs, students may have to find another way home at night. This is one possible solution Unitrans has suggested in response to their mechanics receiving furloughs. “Our operations can get by with fewer days, but the maintenance affects the day to day operation of our service to students,” said Geoff Straw, Unitrans manager. “If we can’t manage it through overtime or request service from outside agencies, we’ll have to cut service.”

Although the ASUCD Coffee House will be under renovation until August 2010 and the location has changed, the Coho culture that many students have come to love is still the same. Coffee addicts, bakery enthusiasts and pizza aficionados can still eat and drink their tasty treats made by the entirely student-staffed Coho. Virginia Poole, a senior plant biology major and the “out-front” student manager at the Coho mapped out the new Memorial Union layout.

It was standing room only at Aggie Soccer Stadium on Sunday afternoon for La Copa de Causeway, the men’s soccer version of the cross-causeway match up between UC Davis and Sacramento State. Though the temperature was over 100 degrees, the Aggie faithful came out in full force. Fortunately for those wearing blue and gold, UC Davis returned to its winning form with a 1-0 victory over the Hornets. The crowd was buzzing all game because of the emotion and physicality displayed on the pitch.

Over 300 researchers, health care professionals, students and Davis residents gathered at UC Davis’ Center for Comparative Medicine on Sunday to commemorate more than a quarter-century of headway made in the fight against HIV/AIDS. The free public event titled “The Discovery of AIDS and HIV: Contributions of California to the Early Years of AIDS Research,” included presentations by over two dozen California researchers.

Physics professor Markus Luty said it best when he addressed students and faculty at Thursday’s walkout rally. “The problems [associated with budget cuts] did not start this year,” he said. “Since the early 1980s, higher education funding has been cut by more than any other major sector of the state budget. It is the only sector that had a reduction in real per capita revenues between 1984 and 2004 … State support was cut by 25 percent this year.” Now here’s a guy who really put some thought into this.

Being the Aggies are an undersized, inexperienced team, the water polo world had been questioning their ability to close out games against tough opponents. But for the second straight week, UC Davis upset the 10th-ranked team in the country. This weekend it was conference-rival Santa Clara, in front of their home crowd at Sullivan Aquatic Center. “It was one of the best feelings I have had in sports,” captain Cory Lyle said. “Their crowd was huge and after we won they were completely silenced. It was golden.”

Any lady squirrels out there not looking for anything serious? Keep your eyes peeled for males with ear tags and dyed fur. Not only have these males adopted human fashion trends, but they are also among the 68 squirrels that have already been given hormone injections to stop them from reproducing as part of an experiment to control the population of Eastern Fox squirrels on campus. “There has been no noticeable increase in the population of the Eastern Fox squirrel,” said Sal Genito, director of the Buildings and Grounds division of Facilities Management. “What I can tell from observing myself, I believe that the population is pretty much stabilized.”

In hard economic times, business can be tough. But the city of Davis has seen that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. A few new businesses have sprouted downtown, including Generations Family Footwear (710 2nd St.), European Wax Center (768 5th St.) and Village Pizza & Grill (403 G St.). Village Pizza and Grill owner Aziz Fattahi recently expanded his small Village Bakery by the Amtrak station to a bustling building on G Street. His upgrade was well-planned.
