Where will you be the next few days? Will you be striking on Sproul alongside fellow students and unionized workers? Or will you see the demonstrations only in passing, on the way to your classes throughout the day?

Column: Get my wallet out of the bag

OpinionNovember 19, 2009
It’s the one that says ‘Bad Motherfucker’ on it, just like Samuel L. Jackson’s. Yeah, be cool, ladies. I got in trouble with Johnny Law again.

Column: Block party

OpinionNovember 19, 2009
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is an iconic film. Girls love Audrey’s outfits and the macking in the rain because it’s oh-so-classy. It’s easy to forget, when focusing on the romanticized features of the film, that Holly Golightly pretty much makes her living off a two-part plan.

Column: Fifteen-minute warning

OpinionNovember 18, 2009
When you hear the word “freshman,” your mind automatically thinks “dorms,” right? Right. Along with dorm life come the dining commons (if anyone wants to donate a swipe, I won’t turn it down), the ability to ride a bike (at least in Davis) and of course the roommate who has a new guy over every night.

Column: La cucaracha, la cucaracha

OpinionNovember 18, 2009
I’m beginning to long for the days of old. And by the days of old, I mean last year when I would start my day off by walking half asleep into the freezing cold kitchen and pop my cereal into the toaster. Of course, the cereal was supposed to be a bagel (but like I said … half asleep).

Editorial: Corporate sponsors

OpinionNovember 17, 2009
As part of a deal that would bring in $3 million over the next 10 years, UC Davis agreed this fall to allow U.S. Bank to place its logo on the back of every university identification card.

Editorial: Department closure

OpinionNovember 17, 2009
Hundreds of students and faculty are protesting the possible closure of the Textiles and Clothing (TXC) Department, recommended by the Academic Prioritization Committee (APC).

Column: Hipsters and pretty girls

OpinionNovember 17, 2009
t all started with a Facebook post: “Christopher Civil: I FOUND IT!!! I am (slightly) embarrassed by how much time I spent on this.” He’s referring to the legendary “Birds and the Bees” column that Sara Kohgadai wrote for The Aggie last year. Chris thinks it’s the greatest description of college-aged relationships since season four of the OC when the suspiciously old/hot high school students go off to college.

Column: No vaccine? No problem!

OpinionNovember 17, 2009
Guantanamo Bay prisoners are now being offered the H1N1 flu virus vaccine on top of the usual amenities of water boarding and detainment without trial.

Column: Cut the CARB

OpinionNovember 17, 2009
The California Air Resources Board is responsible for maintaining and protecting California air quality. This sounds like a noble cause, doesn’t it? I certainly don’t want to gag on fumes all the time, and I am sure that most Californians want the air to be clean.

Column: What I hate about you

OpinionNovember 16, 2009
It’s Friday night, my boyfriend Arthur and I are cuddled on the couch watching Casablanca and my roommate Jaz comes in the front door after a classic dinner-and-a-movie.

Column: This thing called Briggs

OpinionNovember 16, 2009
He looks like a slender approximation of Gimli the Dwarf (long red beard included). At Epic Quad Battle 2007, he led the Spartan army in nothing but a red cape and a Speedo. When you ask him how he is, he says, “Manly.”
