Editorial: Senate

OpinionDecember 4, 2012
At Thursday night’s ASUCD Senate meeting, it was announced that all senators-elect would be seated. The meeting room was overflowing with attendees, many of whom were supporters of Alyson Sagala, the only candidate who was denied her seat at the start of the day by the Elections Committee.

Column: ‘Artist’

OpinionDecember 3, 2012
Am I an artist? This is a question that goes through the mind of everyone who digs a little bit into a hobby that is considered an art form, and I’m sure it constantly goes through the minds of people who already consider themselves to be artists. When can I consider myself an artist? And […]

Column: Single rights movement

OpinionDecember 3, 2012
People say maintaining a happy relationship is one the hardest things to do in life. I say maintaining happiness as a single is even harder. As we go about our lives, we’re constantly surrounded by twos. A table for one is secretly a table for two — you plus the lack of a relationship staring […]

Editorial: Hire with students in mind

OpinionNovember 29, 2012
Not many students are familiar with the Office of Student Affairs…. but they should be. The Office of Student Affairs is a group of different departments that are solely dedicated to “the student experience.” Fred Wood, the vice chancellor of Student Affairs from 2007 to 2012, was replaced in June by an interim vice chancellor […]

Column: On the word

OpinionNovember 29, 2012
There’s only one difference in life; we either give opportunities a shot, or we don’t. And to me words are opportunities; each one contains lifelines of possibilities. We live in a world filled with simple ordinance and limited time, and as a result most people speak in manners that are simply most convenient. A “number […]

Column: Surprise, surprise

OpinionNovember 29, 2012
“The Office” has really gone downhill. It’s one of my favorite shows, but Ellie Kemper’s hotness can only compensate for so much. When Michael Scott left, he took the show’s ingenuity with him, and “The Office” appears to be dying slowly. It would take a crazy idea to salvage it now. And that’s where Toby […]

Column: Under-reported rape

OpinionNovember 28, 2012
After a sexual assault, survivors are told to call the police, get the support of their friends, seek medical help, press charges and avoid taking a shower. This is great advice that will help survivors. But what if they shower, don’t have a rape kit done, don’t tell anyone and time goes by? We live […]

Column: Life after Death?

OpinionNovember 27, 2012
It’s a nightmare to have a loved one die on your birthday.  I never thought it would happen to me. This past weekend, as we sat in the theater waiting for a movie to start, a commercial reminded the audience to silence our cell phones. The guy on the screen had to choose between answering […]
