On March 1 at the Pavilion, ESPN2 will televise the UC Davis vs. UC Santa Barbara men’s basketball game. Aggies, it’s time to put your game face, or rather, your pre-game face, on. At noon, an “ASUCD-sponsored tailgate” competition will take place at a designated area in front of the ARC parking lot. According to […]

It’s difficult to consume clothing mindlessly when pictures of the people who died in the process of sewing your crappy T-shirt are projected onto the store’s building. Such was the tactic of a group of protesters outside of New York Fashion Week who aimed to highlight recent industrial disasters in the garment industry. Last April […]

One of the most disheartening things you can say about a country is that it stands alone. Such a concern might very well hearken back to experiences in our not yet fully politicized lives as children (that is, if my interaction with my own overly diplomatic nieces and nephews is any indicator). In fact, the […]

Freshman year is indubitably the hardest year of college. People who succeed in the “important” stuff during freshman year are made of magic and probably know an elf or two. Note: winning a drinking game does not count in calculating your success. However, coming a close second to being the hardest year in college is […]

Do you often feel you are too busy to spend time with friends or relax? Do you feel stressed because of being busy? If so, you are not alone. When we are busy, we are often constantly in a hurry and worried about our duties. As a result, we cannot enjoy our surroundings or what […]

As a UC Davis graduate, it saddens me to hear that The Aggie may be on its last legs. It’s crazy to think that after 10 years, I can still remember the columns that made me cry with laughter and the thought-provoking articles that challenged my political stances. I always appreciated The Aggie’s ability to […]

As students, alumni and faculty of the UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Hastings, UC Irvine and UCLA Schools of Law, we are writing to urge the UC Regents to cease their support and participation in the cruel confinement of pigs at the annual California State Fair. Recently, we were horrified to learn that pregnant and […]

They say that hindsight is 20/20. Now that I’ve been a UC Davis student for over a year, there are a lot of things I wish I would have known, done differently or changed. Despite the fact that my higher education has been split between two institutions over the past five years, there are a […]

Due to a lack of transparency in ASUCD and the UC Davis administration, the passing and campaign of Ballot Measure 1 has been needlessly hindered. Elections started on Feb. 18 and end Feb. 21 at 8 a.m. On Feb. 11, in an urgent senate meeting, the UC Davis Administration (Student Affairs) introduced the UC Davis […]

Have you ever joined a group or talked to people because you were lonely? For example, many of us feel uncomfortable eating alone in the dining commons, so we invite people that we do not really know to accompany us. Others join clubs or Greek life for a sense of companionship. Why are we so […]

The GMO debate is like a dark stormy ocean. It is vast and deep, and most people are unsure as to whether GMOs are the monstrous waves or the boat delivering us to safety. A significant amount of literature has been published on the impacts of GMOs, and this column is only a couple hundred […]

A very common favorite book is J.D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye. Although I don’t think that taste is something one can objectively judge when it comes to the art of literature or music, I still make snide internal remarks when someone tells me Salinger’s acclaimed masterpiece was the book they keep closest to their […]
