Opinion

Editorial: Police Involvement

Fifty-two individuals were arrested following the sit-in protest at Mrak Hall on Wednesday, all of whom were released the next day. After 5 p.m. the protest participants were technically trespassing but arrests did not begin until 7 p.m.

Column: Weenie columns

I was pretty fucking lazy this week, so instead of writing a long-ass story that's too difficult to comprehend, I wrote an ADHD version for all you out there who have an attention span of a goldfish - three seconds.

Column: Monkey, do as I say

University of California students up and down the state were playing bongos, singing, protesting, picketing, rioting, getting arrested and some were even tasered late last week.

Letters to the editor

Budget shortfall impacted by online purchasesEditor, I sympathize with UC students and understand their need to protest the continued fee hikes for what is...

Column: Connect the dots

It is an awful time to be a student in California. UC students are getting a large dose of reality from the 32 percent increase in tuition. The student protests are a manifestation of the anger and pain felt by all students who now must pay more for a lesser education. I have a question for the protestors, though: What did you expect?

Column: The comfort zone

In a budding relationship, there are three important firsts: The first time you have sex, the first time you have good sex and the first time your good sex life dwindles into a lull.

Column: What would Jesus scream?

The roar emanating from the MU patio on Wednesday is best summed up as "Rabble, rabble, rabble!" It's not a mob protesting the evil machinations of our regents. It's not a frenzy incited by false cries of "Tube sock madness!"

Column: Accepting the sparkly vampire-boyfriends

As the release date of The Twilight Saga: New Moon movie draws nearer, so does the excitement (and delusion) of crazy fangirls (and guys). I swear, the anticipation can be heard all over campus.

"This is the gutter of America," I say as an SUV full of my four housemates and me drives into what Reno thinks it can call its "art town."

Column: Sarah Palin’s empowered

Sarah Palin shouldn't be relevant.

Editorial: 9-1-1 misdials

The UC Davis Police Department recently proposed to change the current "9" when placing outgoing calls from a campus telephone.

Guest editorial

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

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

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

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.
