If you have internet, a photo of your genitals and a little bravery, you can be like some of the other UC Davis students who have found connections online. The Davis “Down To Fuck” Facebook page (Davis DTF) receives approximately one risque post a day, including details about the student poster, a description of their […]

Have you ever wondered how much you pay for tuition in comparison to your friends each quarter? Certainly, California residents pay way less than nonresidents. Yet, local students moan about the tuition hike and how much it hurts Californian families. How about nonresidential students? Simply, if you are not a California resident, you get charged […]

There have been some rumors circulating recently that there will be a new pub opening at UC Davis. We just want you all to know that this is, in fact, true, and it will be located in the East Wing of the Memorial Union where the Post Office is currently located. Soon, instead of sending […]

In Tristan de Liege’s April 11 Op-ed, “Capitalism and the poor,” an attempt is made to justify laissez-faire capitalism. The justification rests on two faulty premises: that capitalism is justified by the alleged benefits it brings, and that in a capitalist society wealth is distributed on the basis of voluntary choice.

People love doctors. And, more importantly, people love TV shows about doctors. “ER” ran for 15 seasons, launching George Clooney’s career. “Grey’s Anatomy” introduced M.D.s nicknamed McDreamy, McSteamy and Katherine Heigl. She doesn’t need a nickname; she’s perfect the way she is. These TV doctors solve so many problems: Gregory House, for example, can deduce […]

When I write the word “virginity,” you won’t reach for the dictionary in confusion. The word is well-known, and most people assume they know what a virgin is: one who has not had sex. And for many, the proof of one’s virginity lies in an intact hymen. This assumption raises a myriad of issues. For […]

Some readers might take my statements against Sam Harris, atheist author and pseudo-philosopher, as an indication that I am a theist. I am not. In fact, I take any opportunity to assault religious thought to its maximum. However, some anti-religious arguments are absurd, and much worse, others accidentally endorse extremely anti-human thought. That second category […]

My folder hit the head of the gentleman in front of me with a thud. To be fair, I was attempting to save him from malaria. I am a regular traveler on the Unitrans J-line. The other day I was sitting in my seat, looking over my transcripts to ensure I had met all my […]

There is a time and a place for protest on the UC Davis campus. Or so it seems, as from January to August there is nary a picket sign in sight. But this past Saturday was Decision Day, when hundreds of potential students walked around campus to decide if UC Davis is the place for […]

Last week, a group of international students sent a letter that detailed their difficulties with integration and expressed disappointment with the community’s lack of support. As the number of international students grows on campus, so does the importance of this issue. Currently, we host over 2,000 international students, with the 2020 Initiative intending to bring […]

“Somebody tried to run me over because I was wearing ‘girl’ clothes.” “A man in a passing car yelled ‘you’re gay’ to a friend and me.” “I was assaulted by a UC Davis professor.” And “I was raped.” Over the course of an hour on March 18, a sign lying on the North Quad titled […]
