Editorial: ASUCD Senate
OpinionJune 3, 2010
ASUCD senators are the voices of the student body and need to be accessible to students. By not holding office hours, it’s difficult for students to feel like they are a part of campus matters.
Column: Famous last words
OpinionJune 3, 2010
As comedian Groucho Marx drew his final breath, his wife wept at his side, his pale hands clenched in hers. “Oh, Groucho,” she lamented, “Please don’t die!”
Column: Life goes on, bra
OpinionJune 3, 2010
I spent my first night of college in my dorm room crying. It was a pansy moment, I know. I’m lucky to report that things have definitely looked up since then. I know now that there’s no real definition for college. Experiencing it is the only way to know what’s up. Definitions are overrated anyhow. It’s best sometimes to just know you had a good time and call it a day.
Column: It’s not you, it’s me
OpinionJune 2, 2010
Davis, I’m not sure how to say this, but we need to see other people. Don’t worry – it’s not you; it’s me. The time has come for me to go on to bigger (maybe not better) things, and I don’t think you’re ready to move on with me.
Column: Peace out, trouts
OpinionJune 2, 2010
Seeing as this is my last column ever, I wanted to write something life-changing that would alter your state of mind FOREVER. Then I remembered I don’t really have anything that profound to say that isn’t stolen from some movie or Hallmark card. This is probably why I stick to more important topics like Booty Pops, cockroaches and things to do butt-naked.
Three-year bachelor’s program
OpinionJune 1, 2010
Amid a growing trend of small schools adopting three-year bachelor’s programs throughout the country, the UC Commission on the Future is considering adopting a fast-track degree.

OpinionJune 1, 2010
This year has been a great learning experience for me, and I hope it has been for you, too. If you are like me, and your college experience is coming to a close, then your knowledge and experience gained from years of study will hopefully be of great benefit to you in seeking out employment.

OpinionJune 1, 2010
I can’t tell you a whole lot about who I am. But I can say a lot about who I’m not.
Column: Yawning Yanni
OpinionJune 1, 2010
Yawning is a most flavorful exercise indeed. It’s kind of like Pringles: once you pop you might not be able to stop because MSG shares a near identical chemical structure with high-grade heroin. I’m bullshitting. But let’s say your friend yawns and you yawn back. This is a perfectly normal part of yawning behavior, although an odd one (are we communicating subconsciously, like telling other members of the human herd that we’re exhausted and sleepy-time should commence or is it that our brains are overheating?). And when it happens with strangers I always feel a little violated or like I’ve violated the other person’s privacy.
Column: Exploring the inner wanderlust
OpinionMay 28, 2010
A lot can change in a year. That’s what a friend recently said to me. The moment she said those words, I couldn’t help but laugh a little – they sounded so dramatic and cliché to me. I imagined a season finale for “One Tree Hill” ending with some monologue and that sentence smacked right at the end of it.
Editorial: City Council election
OpinionMay 27, 2010
Many of us have everything we need on campus – classes, dining commons, student housing and friends. But in the Community Chambers on Russell Boulevard, the city government is making decisions every day that affect several aspects of our lives while attending college.
Column: On sluttiness

I’m honestly uncertain on how I feel about my personal sluttiness. If you were to ask me about sluttiness as a concept,
