Religious donations from a tithe box at Islamic Center of Davis were stolen this past Tuesday in the middle of the night by an unknown male wearing a baseball cap with sunglasses on top. The fashion-impaired thief entered the center from an open window and drove off in a white four-door sedan. The Aggie expresses […]

On Feb. 27, there will be informational pickets of labor environmental and student activists at the Whole Foods near campus at 5 p.m., and then additional pickets outside Freeborn Hall starting at 7 p.m., in response to the hosting of Whole Foods CEO John Mackey by the UC Davis Graduate School of Management Dean Steve […]

Sandbox Politico Last week I attended a Senate meeting to thank the six who would be terming out for their service — I legitimately meant it — and then the Senate proceeded to do something so incalculably stupid I immediately wanted to take it all back. They moved into an unscheduled closed session. A closed […]

Some shake Only I would happen to catch the weirdest fucking episode of “Dexter’s Lab” while all alone at four in the morning. The universe loves to fuck with me like that. Earlier, we were in the garage getting drunk around an old television set that we had accidentally set on fire. It didn’t take […]

Memory Not too long ago, I decided to stop sleeping. I needed to get more stuff done. The recent flood of midterms and papers had something to do with it. But more than that, I was rebelling against the seven-day segments that dictate our waking consciousness. When I did sleep, I wasn’t waiting until tomorrow’s […]

Anyone advocating a laissez-faire capitalist society (i.e., a government whose sole purpose is the protection of individual rights, which I outlined in my first column) might seem to face a problem. Obviously, we live in a mixed society, and many facets of our society reflect this. Besides the wealth-redistribution schemes and economic regulations that I […]

Having a female reproductive system is spectacular. Cycles surround us — the moon, the sun, the seasons — and there is a raw pleasure in feeling a cycle occurring within the body. It can be difficult to appreciate female anatomy and cycles amidst taboo culture, but not impossible. Perhaps the best way to celebrate the […]

Voting for the ASUCD Winter Quarter Elections starts today. All undergraduate students are eligible to vote for the six new senators and a president and vice president. Members of the ASUCD senate have a say in how the campus is run, specifically the areas that impact students most. This includes The Pantry, Tipsy Taxi, Picnic […]

The Anarchist As I have argued over the last few weeks, and as common sense would dictate, groups naturally do what is in their interests.
