Column: Hidden gems

Arts & CultureApril 12, 2012
Fun fact about me: I’m a UC Davis tour guide. How does this pertain or even remotely relate to arts and entertainment? I know this campus backwards and forwards (but mostly backwards) and am exposed to the beauty that is our campus on a daily basis. Because the past two weeks have been the busiest […]

Column: Hallelujah, I’m a Bum

OpinionApril 12, 2012
The U.S. Bank occupations taught us a lesson we can’t afford to forget: Direct action works. Protesters who refused to wait for institutional permission won a victory that official campus organizations and representative assemblies can only dream about. The next time we get into a tired debate about the movement’s mass popularity or the need […]

CD Review: Miike Snow

Arts & CultureApril 12, 2012
Artist: Miike Snow Album: Happy to You Label: Universal Republic Records Rating: 3.5 It would be wrong to call Miike Snow’s most recent album, Happy to You, bland. But when we really face it, examine it and turn it in our hands, it’s more or less an uninspiring collection. Not because it fails to muster good […]

Editorial: Oppressed

OpinionApril 12, 2012

This group’s resistance is silent and relatively ineffective. We are of course referring to the bright-minded left-handers of UC Davis. Being a lefty […]

Column: The big breakup

OpinionApril 11, 2012
Breaking up is hard to do. One second you’re so close, connecting and revealing your soul to another individual and the next moment, you’re … nothing. Just two people who shared something once upon a time. Transitioning from one type of relationship to another with a person is complicated to say the least. There are […]
