Opinion

I think the writing on a person’s t-shirt can tell you a lot about the wearer. And these days, you can get just about anything screen-printed across your chest. It seems like everyone wants to stamp themselves with their own personal mottos, their inspirational battle-cries, their own raisons d’être, if you will. Want to tell the world that Volleyball is 95% mental and 5% physical? I’m sure they would love to know, so put it in writing across your body. Or how about the ever-cryptic “I Don’t Do Drama,” just so everyone is clear. Solid colors have been passé for years, making room for thousands of slogans from the clever to the nasty to the Star Wars-themed. In this week’s column, I’ll be chronicling my favorites.

I’m responding to Ms. Miller’s guest opinion not as a member of a “choreographed” group of students, but rather as an individual participant in Israeli Consul General Akiva Tor’s lecture.

The saga of the Domes closure continued with a positive step toward compromise when Domes advocates submitted a new proposal to UC Davis administration April 13.

First 5 Children’s and Families Commissions may go away! If this happens, thousands of young Yolo County children and their families will lose critical and basic services. Services that help provide food, early education, health insurance for kids and also prevent child abuse. Many are aware that the governor signed AB 99, which will now […]

There are so many problems with Geoffrey Wildanger’s guest opinion that I don’t know where to begin.

I am writing in regards to The Aggie’s dismal coverage of this year’s Picnic Day.

Crank up the volume for that sad song, bury your face in a pillow and give yourself an hour or so. You earned it, champ. It feels good, no? Some people love it and some hate it. Myself? I love it. It can be very therapeutic.

Every Nov. 29, I celebrate another year of my existence on this planet we call earth.

When I was four years old, I was told I couldn’t play with Barbie dolls.

I’ll let you in on a little secret: a lot of jobs are never posted online. In fact, employers only fill 5 to 7 percent of jobs by selecting from the pool of electronically submitted resumes. So why are we spending so much of our time in front of the computer looking for jobs?

Alex Byrne’s letter of April 12 (“Unprofessional security”) presents a hyperbolic, insensitive and, quite frankly, naïve perspective with regard to the Cal Aggie Host program. While it is certainly true that security staff at events can and may often have a dampening effect on an otherwise celebratory atmosphere, their presence is necessary for several valid reasons, not least of which is to ensure the safety of the event participants.

Despite preliminary reports suggesting an increase in citations from last year’s Picnic Day, UC Davis administrators and police declared this year’s event a success.
