I’m a huge fan of Gerard Butler. Why, you ask? Did you see P.S. I Love You? Neither did I. But I did see Olympus Has Fallen, a rah-rah, go-America movie with enough explosions and bad one-liners to fill a KFC family-size bucket and a fully-legal 20-ounce soda cup, and this masterpiece of cinema established […]

As we are all well aware of, finals are coming up. This entails much-dreaded, sleepless nights of trying to relearn all the material we’ve learned this entire quarter. Amidst frantically going over homework problems, making sense of stacks of unorganized notes and lecture slides, and frantically attempting to understand long-winded textbooks, we tend to put […]

The other night I was walking home after class, pissed off because I still hadn’t found a date for that weekend, when my old lab partner drove up out of nowhere and offered me a ride. I couldn’t help but laugh. I had always been curious, and had secretly hoped we’d run into each other […]

Sex & Society A couple of days ago, in the middle of a late-night tampon run, I stumbled across a line of products under the name “Summer’s Eve.” The shelves in front of me boasted an assortment of vaginal “cleansing” products, including douches, deodorants and travel-size cleansing pads. They came in an array of flirtatious […]

The Anarchist We live in a world full of death, suffering and extreme despotism. There are some hard problems to fix. Some other highly pervasive problems are not so hard. The endurance of hard problems doesn’t need an explanation: We haven’t solved them because they’re hard. But what is the explanation for the persistence of […]

Safe Harbor Crisis House in Woodland was the fortunate beneficiary of the Winter Weekend of Service project of the Community Service Resource Center at UC Davis this past Sunday, March 10. Ten students came to perform much needed work at our facility. We want to recognize and thank Dianne Lansangan, Justin Ramirez, Kathy Rosales, Kevin […]

As of next quarter, The Aggie will discontinue its four-day-a-week printing schedule and begin publishing weekly on Thursdays. If you didn’t know this already, that probably means you don’t read The Aggie enough. Our goal is to have news readily available in your hands without the inky residue — a shift from having less print […]

Amongst continued (and endless) debates about the financial value of an education and which departments deserve public funding, it is important to take a step back and give thanks and praise to the wonderful world of the humanities. After all, what good is molecular biology, chemistry or physics if not to further and improve our […]

In our very own town of Davis, Mikey Partida was a victim of a homophobic hate crime. Mikey was severely beaten on I and 3rd to the point to where he had to be taken to the hospital. As a Queer Jewish student of color, and as many students, the fact that I constantly find […]

Sandbox Politico We join student government to leave a legacy — whatever that means. To enact projects, bylaws, budgets and other machinations for the student body to enjoy and remember long after we’re gone. You see these legacies all over campus — from a retired fire truck turned tube sock dispensary, to a coffee shop […]

Some shake According to Urban Dictionary, “shake” is all the “small bits of bud that settle to the bottom of your broken-up stash … some dealers try to sell it by calling it ‘pre-grinded,’ but don’t fall for that bullshit. Buying shake is like buying a bag of dorrito [sic] crumbs. Wouldn’t you prefer regular […]

Memory Finals week is nearly here. There shall be too much caffeine. There shall be too little sleep. There shall be ramen and writing papers all night. There shall be the Scantron 2000. Sharpen your No. 2 pencils, steel your minds and prepare to run the gauntlet. Normal working hours do not apply anymore, if […]
