By MEAGAN HUME Program Assistant Center for Poverty Research While I appreciate Mr. Collins’ attempt to lightly interpret masculinity in the opinion piece, “Scruff, Rough and Ready,” I believe that he is sadly misguided in the true meaning of No-Shave November, or as it has come to be called, Movember. No-Shave November is not, as […]

Health Education & Promotion (HEP) would like to thank Katelyn Ringrose for her continued focus on the topic of sexual health, especially the Nov. 14 column focusing on sexually transmitted infections (STIs). While it is true that there are a variety of STIs, it is important for students to be aware that the most common […]

There’s a thing with schools about suspension and expulsion. Oftentimes, these penalties are their go-to punishments. Schools don’t realize, however, that these punishments are ineffective. The problem is that many of the chronic trouble-making students place no value on school access. They don’t want to be there. Telling them that they’ll be suspended or expelled […]

The Aggie Editorial Board would like to congratulate and welcome the newly elected Fall 2012 ASUCD senators: Armando Figueroa and Alyson Sagala of the SMART slate, Tal Topf and Felicia Ong of the NOW slate, as well as independents Liam Burke and Maxwell Kappes.

I spend way too much time picturing an activity and thinking, “What is the least amount of time this can be done in?” It’s not simply that I want to finish a chore as fast as possible, I just wonder at which point in the practice of folding clothes it becomes impossible to fold any […]

I wanted to hold off on writing this until I became ridiculously buff. But that day might not come for a long time. We enjoy life by the help and society of others, but there’s a time and place for everything. You may be used to being a social butterfly who flaps your wings and […]

This past three-day weekend was the biggest weekend in UC Davis athletics that didn’t happen. There were several sports with opportunities to make major headlines on a national scale. The men’s soccer team played in arguably the biggest game of its history when it faced off with Cal State Northridge in the Big West Conference […]

Almost exactly one year ago, UC Davis changed. A group of students were pepper sprayed by the UC Davis Police during a peaceful protest on the Quad on Nov. 18. This event has had a profound and serious impact on our campus. First, students stopped trusting the administration. Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi and former Lt. […]

In “Pike’s Piece,” I stated that in being swept by the fervor of movement without being informed, one can easily overlook costly repercussions. This following piece will apply the same logic to consider the risks involved in the very act of preserving history and subsequently, the challenges involved in how we make use of that […]

The events that unfolded on our Quad last November shook our campus, spinning us into an extended period of soul searching, introspection and a determination to learn from the past. As difficult as this has been for us all, I believe that today we are a stronger and more open university because of it. We […]

Today, let’s discuss STD history, prevention and treatment methods. Invasion of the Body Snatchers could have been based on chlamydia and gonorrhea, two STDs that […]

Ah shit, you probably read my column title and thought to yourself, “Looks like this Asian guy is gonna talk about how emo he is and how much he likes Taking Back Sunday.” Actually, now that I think about it, “bottom of the ocean” is a line from an Interpol song. “Stella was a Diver […]
