As you may know, on Monday, Jan. 30, interns of the Women’s Resources and Research Center (WRRC) found their life-size critique representation of Barbie with its neck wrapped with a noose and tied to a water pipe above in the basement of North Hall. The Life-Size Barbie Project was constructed by engineering students to show […]

Conventional wisdom has it that the Republican candidates are a sorry lot. After months of intense campaigning and the scrutiny that accompanies it, the four remaining contestants are known more for their vices than their virtues. Romney is uninspired and vacillating. Gingrich is a loose cannon. Santorum is sanctimonious and whiny. Paul is Jane Fondaesque […]

After a close competition with Cal at the Pavilion on Jan. 27, the Aggies had hoped to come out strong against the Golden Bears on Sunday to capture the first-place finish they had so narrowly missed. But it was not to be. Shaky performances on bars and beam once again put UC Davis in second […]

The UC Davis men’s basketball team has now lost 18 games in a row, the worst such streak in school history since the 1951-52 team lost their first 22 games of the season. Making this past weekend’s losses at UC Irvine and UC Riverside more painful for Aggie fans is the fact the UC Davis […]

Usually, to borrow a phrase from the Black Eyed Peas, I like to pride myself on being relatively “3008;” I know all the 411, I’m listening to the cool jams and I’ve even got a Twitter. But my problem isn’t staying hip to the jive, which I clearly excel at (check the lingo) — it’s […]

From the unavoidable mud streak, infamously known as the freshman stripe, to sitting on a rain-soaked bike seat because your UC Davis Bookstore bag flew away, the Davis rainy season can really wreck havoc on your day. But have no fear. Davis has plenty of things to occupy your time when those rain clouds that […]

The internet is supposed to be a free and open enterprise. I’m sure it was at some point but, nowadays, it seems as though the internet is just enterprise. With such large profits to be made and to be lost, is it possible for companies like Google and Facebook to see past their corporate interest […]

The fight against smoking is coming to UC Davis, as smokers will find it difficult to find somewhere to grab a quick smoke in two years time. In a letter to the UC chancellors on Jan. 9, UC President Mark G. Yudof asked each chancellor to form a committee to implement a smoke-free policy by […]
