ASUCD Senator Azka Fayyaz’s “Letter to the community” (Feb. 3), purportedly explaining an anti-Israel comment she posted on her Facebook account, is itself offensive, as it trivializes anti-Jewish hate and brutality. Ms. Fayyaz recently voted in favor of an anti-Israel resolution. The resolution unfairly blamed Israel for the impasse in peace efforts, ignoring the fact […]

Dinner and a movie: the classic beginnings of a budding romance. Even to those who often date, the pairing of these two harmless activities provokes stress, embarrassment and an obsession over your own bad breath.

“Writing can be lonely work.” I read this statement in The Wall Street Journal last week in a column by a man named Edward Gerson. Thirteen years ago, at the age of 87, this man began writing for Dartmouth, his alma mater, chronicling the adventures of his graduating class of 1926. At the time he […]

On Jan. 31, two swastikas were painted on the house of UC Davis’ Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) fraternity, which is historically and predominantly Jewish. The incident is currently under investigation by the UC Davis Police Department as a hate crime. Many student groups have urged the UC Davis community to not connect the crime with […]

President Obama discussed America’s important issues in the State of the Union address Tuesday night. Among the topics mentioned were ones we found pertinent to the UC Davis community.

Just as it is important to hold campus officials accountable for their actions, the Editorial Board believes it is equally important to give credit where credit is due.
