CD Review: The Lone Bellow

Arts & CultureJanuary 17, 2013
Artist: The Lone Bellow Album: The Lone Bellow Rating: 4.5/5 Dear readers, to gain my musical favor an album must do more than tickle my fancy (all connotations implied). Sure I may toss it a few complimentary bones, but to truly be a blessed member of Gerber’s musical athenaeum an album must woo me. I’ll […]

Editorial: Price of knowledge

OpinionJanuary 17, 2013
With $500 you can get pretty far. Groceries for three months. A flight to Hawaii for spring break. Two new shitty bikes. An iPad. But instead, many students dropped that much at the beginning of the quarter on something much less exciting. Textbooks. With new classes comes the necessity of purchasing new textbooks, which have […]

Gov. Jerry Brown’s new spending plan directly concerns every UC student. If passed, UC and CSU will receive a $250 million increase in state funding.
