Don't milk while drunk; Students must take action

Column: FDA gone Loko

If you're over 21, put this paper down as soon as you finish this paragraph. No other story on this page is more important than this one.

Column: Robot sex objects

Meet Roxxxy. She's 5'7", brunette, large breasted and white. She knows your likes and dislikes, has genitalia and even a heartbeat.

Column: Obama’s decision point

For months in the run-up to the 2010 elections, pundits wondered aloud how President Obama would respond to the impending defeat of his party at the...

Column: Haters gonna hate

A true story of harsh judgment, and reconsideration: It was a brisk fall day. Leaves cascaded down from seasonally ailing trees like the hair that rains off the back of an overly radiated chimpanzee (most tasteless metaphor of the year? I tried).

Column: L Street eats and beyond

There are some secret L Street eats that aren't easy to find, and sometimes they aren't easy to get to either.

Column: Let me play with you

Intrigue begins to slither down your spine. Their smile, their eyes, their laugh, their sexy ass in those jeans - all too tempting. Your heart begins to pound, your body is on fire, and your mouth is watering. Your only chance at quenching this insatiable thirst lies in their kiss, their touch, their body touching yours - no shoes, no shirt, all you need is just skin.

Last week The Aggie ran a front-page story on another fee increase to hit the 40 percent mark set by the UC Regents. Amid all these fee increases, the incomes of middle-class Americans and those further south on the economic ladder, have flat-lined or shrunk. As Washington starts a path toward fiscal responsibility, reining in on so-called entitlement spending and cutting the deficit, we are going to see opportunity hurt, seriously. One phrase you are going to hear a lot in the coming weeks is "class warfare."

Editorial: Unfair burden on students

At a meeting this week in San Francisco, the UC Board of Regents will vote on a plan to raise student fees by 8 percent.

Editorial: Priority registration

Chancellor Katehi has made a commendable step to raise $1 billion in support for UC Davis through philanthropic donations.

Letters To The Editor

I would like to know more about the "current dichotomy in student politics between students majoring in social science, the humanities and the arts compared to students majoring in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields" mentioned in Brian Riley's Monday column, "Let's go horizontal."

Letters To The Editor

From 2004 through 2008 I was a member of the UC Davis mMen's cCross cCountry team and its captain for the 2008 season. Amidst the debate related to student athletes and priority registration, I feel I can offer a few points in addition to those already being discussed.
