Despite Chancellor Linda Katehi’s and UC President Mark Yudof’s statements encouraging the vote as a voice, I am not in support of the idea that voting is having one’s voice heard. In fact, I believe that what’s more important than voting is the depth behind the education of the issue and what one is willing […]

Dear Editor: Your Oct. 29 article “Measures and propositions on the Nov. 6 ballot” may have inadvertently given a misleading impression of the potential impact of Measure Q. In 2002, the taxpayers of Solano County funded a $124.5 million bond measure (Measure G) to improve the facilities at Solano Community College. Of that amount, $5 […]

Mr. Vrdoljak, In your unsolicited guest opinion, you claim that my article about the English major “lacks any modicum of support.” As an English major who has personally immersed himself in English and experienced the sociocultural biases against it, I completely and respectfully disagree. Your hard-hitting analysis was mildly credible for about 10 seconds, until […]

The incredibly active Facebook page UC Davis Confessions seems like it’s updated every few minutes with a new anonymous “confession” from a UC Davis student. We’re inspired. That page garnered over 2,000 likes in just a few weeks, so in an effort to make our own California Aggie page more likable, here are some of […]

Last Friday, the Unit Relocation and Space Allocation Committee announced that Entertainment Council (EC) would be moving to the basement of Lower Freeborn. Creative Media will be taking over EC’s current office. The editorial board would like to formally welcome our new neighbors. Welcome to the dungeon. We’ve got fun and games. While we already […]

In my anthropology class, I sit directly behind someone who, instead of taking notes on the dental structure of primates, watches porn. As the amount of students sitting behind him grows, so does my curiosity about porn. Does it hold any serious value? Pornography has always carried the social stigma of “appealing to baser needs.” […]

My heart is beating frantically. Sweat beads profusely on my brow. There’s an ominous feeling in the pit of my stomach. My asshole puckers to stay shut. I rush through a door and make a mad dash to the nearest rectangular stall. Once inside I pause and inhale a long draught of respite. I’m stopped […]

Three parties, a football game and an AggieTV workshop I’m supposed to be in charge of — I had my plans set in stone for this weekend. On Friday, I’m supposed to go to a free yoga class at 2 p.m. and work on my honors thesis from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Things that I […]

KDVS recently submitted a bill asking ASUCD for $36,000 in order to purchase the equipment needed for the KDVS tower relocation project. This new tower would eliminate the already existing threats from encroaching stations that interfere with KDVS frequencies. This new tower would allow the station to reach the greater Sacramento area, opening up opportunities […]

Davis has been described by many as a cute, safe little farming town. However, this past month has proven such accusations of safety to be wrong. Davis has gone creepy. And quite frankly, we are scared. In October alone, three crimes have been rampant in the news, none of which bring comfort to the college […]

In 2009, the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) performed a study called the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This study, which takes place every three years, evaluates the performance of world nations in relation to each other and examines ways in which each nation was successful. One of the findings found that […]

In religion, when we experience trouble in our lives, we often question the faith we feel toward our prospective divinity. In love, experiencing trouble in relationships doesn’t just cast doubts on deities, but dating as well. This situation makes me wonder: Are religion and love really that different? From the ages of 16 to 20, […]
