What used to be simply dots moving on a screen and eventually a few shapes and colors has grown into a vicious spectacle of lights, sounds and interactions between a person and a TV. Video games have come a long way, picking up wary travelers for their greatest adventures, and leaving many behind to view […]

A disheveled hobo roams the streets bearing a sign with a single, solemn message: “The end is nigh.” By day, this man may look like some crummy bum that you’d be loath to give change to for fear of him using it to purchase copious amounts of crack cocaine — but when darkness falls, he […]

Greetings, bibliophiles: have you ever wondered about the history of naughty literature? Fifty Shades of Grey isn’t the only text to ever be banned in American public libraries. Let’s take a look at some others that have been deemed too spicy for public consumption. Homosexual plot, sexually explicit narration and offensive language are the top […]

With Thanksgiving upon us and fall graduation approaching, I‘ve been reflecting upon my time at Davis and what it took to get here. My graduation day, the day I’ve long anticipated, is less than a month away. As I’m sure many of you can agree, it has not always been an easy journey. I invite […]

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 […]
