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, […]

You hear a sound, and you enjoy it. It doesn’t belong to the wind or the footsteps or the chatter you’re used to hearing throughout your day; it rises above them, maybe a reminder of the familiar or something entirely different. Either way, it’s made just for you. You’re listening to a song. Of course, […]

In your hands. In your eyes. In your heart. It’s art. But the literature of that is just the first part. What has to follow, or what I am inclined to encourage, is the pursuit of art as a pursuit of life that inspires more life. In the grand poetic sphere of things, everything is […]

The ASUCD Coffee House has recently implemented a Meatless Monday program, which aims to provide increased variety as well as raise awareness of alternative food options. Although not all of us are vegetarians, we fully support the program — a collaboration between ASUCD and the CoHo — to supplement the normal menu with vegetarian options, […]

Four years ago, in the presidential election of 2008, the power of the youth vote helped make history. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, turnout among college-educated voters between the ages of 18 and 29 was 62 percent, an expression of one of the most important acts available to us as citizens in a democracy: […]

This year, college students are in for a treat: six days of Halloween, college style. With the traditional event occurring in the middle of the week, all of a sudden the party schedule is thrown off. Do we celebrate it the weekend before? Trick-or-treat at Linda Katehi’s house on Wednesday? Dress up in November? Not […]

I am writing in response to Adam Khan’s Oct. 23 article, “Meatless Monday comes to the CoHo.” It is no surprise that students would want “Meatless Mondays” in their dining halls: According to a study by food-service provider Bon Appétit, the number of college students who identify themselves as vegetarian has risen by 50 percent […]

Last week, I, along with many members of the ASUCD Senate and The Aggie, received word from Yara Zokaie that she would be officially resigning her post as a member of the Senate. I appreciate the fact that Miss Zokaie has decided to move on, as greater endeavors await her during and after law school. […]
