Really into photography. We were at his house and there […]

The ASUCD senate table was suspiciously barren at its first meeting last Thursday night. Three of the 12 senators that students elected as representatives failed to show up, while still collecting paychecks that come from student fees. This is completely unacceptable. Let’s start with Joyce Han and Anni Kimball. Coincidentally, these two missing senators are members […]

What makes a body or system of law legitimate? When you drive your car up to an intersection and reflexively halt at the stop sign, why do you do it? It isn’t because the imposing red octagon frightens you, nor is it because the word “stop” commands you to do so.  You stop because you […]

Settlement plans between the University of California and the students pepper sprayed on November 18 were submitted for court approval last week, where the university is to pay $1 million to the plaintiffs, attorneys and the American Civil Liberties Union.

The inflated budget of the California Department of Corrections is at least indirectly related to the lack of funds available to higher education. The exorbitantly expensive death penalty is one of the reasons why there isn’t more taxpayer money for the University of California. Students and their parents end up paying for higher tuitions because […]
