I made tofu chili in my house last week. It was kind of a big deal. For the last two years, I purchased and consumed a small tofu chili from the CoHo marketplace nearly every single day I was on campus. To this day, if I so much as catch a whiff of tofu chili, […]

Last Tuesday, students, government representatives and business and education leaders gathered to discuss the California job market and economy. The event, called the UC Davis California Jobs Summit, was proposed by ASUCD President Adam Thongsavat and was the first UC Davis student-led jobs forum. The event should be applauded for its efforts to provide real, […]

Full Class A student was referred to Student Judicial Affairs (SJA) for allegedly disrupting a lower-division science lab.  The student attempted to get into a lab other than the one she was enrolled in by writing her name on an attendance sheet for the lab.  When the class TA took roll, the student did not […]

As the quarter draws to a close, most of us are finding ourselves enveloped by a wave of tests, papers and review sessions. What I give you today is a review session of sorts.

Somebody broke up with me once, so I completely identify with Adele and her music. Even one year later, listening to the powerhouse crescendos and vocal fire of “Rolling in the Deep” still takes me back to the memories of that one person who said he didn’t find me attractive. It’s nice to know that, […]

My first computer was an iMac. It was purple, I was eight and it was love at first sight. I only used Macs then, and I still only use Macs now. Although lately, it seems that a transformation is brewing within Apple, and my allegiance is not as strong as it once was. Both the […]

Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh acted out yet again last week, repeatedly calling Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke a “prostitute” and “slut” after she testified before Congress in favor of mandating that employers provide health insurance that covers contraception. After alleging that Fluke wanted to be paid for sex by “taxpayers,” Limbaugh went on […]

Securing the presidential office for another six years with his victory on Sunday, Vladmir V. Putin has led Russia since 2000 with or without the support of his people.

On Tuesday the Federated University Police Officers Association was granted a court order to indefinitely postpone the release of an investigation of the Nov. 18 pepper-spraying incident. The findings were set to go public Tuesday afternoon. The union cites that the report could contain confidential information about the officers involved and wants this removed. The […]

When I pop open a bottle of cool, crisp Coca-Cola on a hot day and take a sip, I trust that the fizzy fluid that floods past my lips will be the same delicious cola I’ve come to know and love since I was a little kid. When I pop open a bottle of boring, […]
