Ryan ChartrandCalifornia girls showing a little too much skin
With the recent heat wave I’ve noticed a flood of beachwear-clad students. Or, to be more precise, I’ve noticed the lack of clothes on the women, which brings me to the subject of this letter: school dress codes. The only student dress code I am aware of at Cal Poly is the one at the gym. I would like to see attire expectation requirements enacted elsewhere on campus.
Growing up in a liberal family, I have always been opposed to school dress codes. However, yesterday I was seriously distracted from my studies both in the library and in class by lovely California girls. I thought, having completed puberty nearly a decade ago, that I was beyond such simple distractions. I was wrong. Being older and wiser in the ways of the world only makes things much worse. I now know exactly what I want to do with women and how to do it.
Why can’t Cal Poly’s females dress just a little more modestly? One might argue that attire expectation requirements impinge upon freedom of expression. To which I would answer: that it is no different from an indecent exposure law, and the only ones who complain about that are the nudists. Honestly, we are not talking about a Catholic school where girls are expelled for wearing black bras.
It may seem unfair that I have singled out the fairer sex in this tirade, but I don’t think anyone is distracted by my chest hair when I unbutton the top of my aloha shirt on a hot day. So at the very least studentettes, for the sake of my GPA, please cover up just a little more.
Who likes short shorts? I do.

JuicyCampus site makes Poly students look dumb
I checked out this site and found it to be extremely distasteful and downright mean! I am ashamed that students from Cal Poly would partake in this Web site. As Eleanor Roosevelt once said “Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.”
Cal Poly is ranked among the best schools in the country and is supposed to foster “teaching, scholarship, and service” (i.e. we should be discussing intellectual ideas). This site completely diminishes Cal Poly’s great reputation. It makes Cal Poly look as if it breeds small, feeble-minded imbeciles who discuss other people rather then intellectual ideas!

Dear Southern Utah Thunderbirds
You don’t know me, but I’ll let you in,
Read this close and you just might win.
Your team is good, but fix some things.
When we exploit these, we’ll clip your wings.
Now, where should I begin?
I’ll start with Mr. Barden.
If you haven’t heard, or missed the tape.
This guy sheds tackles and makes his escape.
Double him, triple him, but it still won’t matter.
If you’re on Ramses, better bring your stepladder.
He’ll cause you pain, you’ll shed a tear,
And make you remember, the king’s still here.
But don’t forget about his other half,
Tre’dale Tolver is slow? Don’t make me laugh.
This kid runs track, we’ll send him deep
And Tre’dale will torch your defense in his sleep.
Enough about offense, let’s get to the D.
Our front line will smother, and you’ll see.
Sacks from our line, and interceptions and more.
Everyone on this team will do its part to score.
So if you feel brave, do what you can.
6 p.m. Saturday, you’ll meet our 12th man.
