Editor’s note: A proposed ASUCD Senate Resolution supporting divestment was moving through commission meetings last week and was rejected by the Business & Finance Commission on May 7. The Editorial Board had split views on divestment. This editorial represents one of those views. To divest or not to divest. That is the question. At least, […]

Despite overwhelming public opposition, the California State Fair (July 12 to 28) again plans to display the cruel “farrowing crates” in the fair’s animal nursery. Pregnant sows will be imprisoned for three straight weeks, unable to turn around, barely able to move and forced to give birth on a bare metal grid: a true “crime […]

If you think you have a drug test coming up, you should stop smoking now. The cheapest and most common type of screening is the classic piss test. It is also the easiest one to pass. If you’re a heavy smoker, you should take about a three week break before a urine test. During this […]

Editor’s note: A proposed ASUCD Senate Resolution supporting divestment was moving through commission meetings last week and was rejected by the Business & Finance Commission on May 7. The Editorial Board had split views on divestment. This editorial represents one of those views. Over the past two weeks, hundreds of students were engaged in discussions […]

“Fuck, fuck, fuck. My stockings are falling,” declared the woman wearing seven-inch platform heels and enough fake hair to comfortably nest dozens of baby birds. Her false eyelashes threatened to abandon her face and the same birds would have loved her impressively arched blue eyeliner and shadow, as it was reminiscent of the blue daytime […]

As a single girl in college, living in a small college town, recycling is important to me. I put my bottles and papers in the designated bins and also scroll through my contact list late at night when I need to scratch my proverbial itch. I recycle exes, hookups, friends with benefits and really any […]

With a facility intended to accommodate the thousands of students that pay for its services in fees, and only about 500 bike parking spots, it’s safe to say that the ARC needs more bike parking. If you’ve been to the ARC in the last few weeks, odds are you’ve seen the signs that warn you […]

Anyone who has ever read my column knows that I am no fan of the mainstream media. The most powerful groups in the country have the ability to shape the way that our institutions operate. Naturally this includes institutions that spread information. So, we get a media shaped by elite interests. Of course, no one […]

Are you looking for honesty in your friends? Do you value integrity? Do you enjoy eating spaghetti? If you answered “yes” to any of the previous questions and are currently single or looking for a new friend, I believe I can set you up with the perfect man. His name is Richard B. Cheney, and […]

By 2020, UC Davis will have 5,000 more students, if everything goes according to plan. The 2020 Initiative, introduced by Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi, also includes the addition of 300 faculty, along with housing facilities and buildings to accommodate the increased population. We have many concerns about the 2020 Initiative. With the addition of 5,000 […]

Dear Madame: I have no doubt your publication will be shortly inundated with commentary on the upcoming divestment resolution, as such proposals have histories of rending UC campuses in twain (see Berkeley, San Diego, Santa Barbara). It should say something that news has reached me of the advent from my quarter abroad in London. A […]

Sometimes when I feel like getting a little wild on weekends, I buckle myself into my minivan and drive my crazy self right on over to Target. I love walking through the Dollar Days section while being tempted by a million little trinkets that I don’t really need. But come on, those bird-shaped chip clips […]
