Without hesitation, Feller replied, “Fantastic fans.
Cal Poly journalism lecturer Marvin Sosna’s new book “Brandon’s Trail” is not only a story about a young boy’s coming-of-age, but a wonderfully beautiful description of the Sierra Nevada mountain range as well.
The story focuses on 10-year-old Brandon, whose parents proposed a 212 mile trek into the Sierras along the John Muir Trail.
aDid I just go to a punk show? I’m still not very sure. I mean there were definitely people who would describe themselves as punk there. And I guess it makes some sense when someone explains it to you. But, still. A bunch of acoustic singer-songwritery stuff and I’m standing with people patched-out, leathered-up and pierced?
Not that it truly matters in any way.
If you are the president of the United States, you can build your legacy one of two ways. You can do such a great job in office that the world remembers you warmly long after you’re gone, or you can spend a lot of money and hire people to rewrite history in the hopes that you’ll come off looking better.
I am writing in response to the Nov. 30 article “How safe are the tracks you walk on?” After I had finished reading this article, I was dumbfounded at all the propositions being made in wake of the recent accident involving Ryan West.
The article starts out with a recap of the very vague circumstances of the accident and then moves on to why we need to have new safety installments around the tracks and why the cost should be pinned on Union Pacific Railroad Co.
At the last CSU Board of Trustees meeting, the requested budget for the 2007-08 school year was passed. The budget included the request for no student fee increases. However, the budget still needs to pass through many more processes.

The tables were turned on the Cal Poly volleyball team in the worst way at the worst possible time Saturday night.
Cal used a finesse offense and stifling defense – usually staples for Cal Poly – to run away with a 3-1 win in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in front of a sellout crowd of 3,032 fans in Mott Gym.
It was only one game, but if Saturday is any indication, the Cal Poly women’s basketball team’s new starting lineup looks to be potent.
At least on defense.
Cal Poly routed visiting San Francisco 60-38 in a nonconference game Saturday in Mott Gym. It marked the first time the Dons had been held under 40 points since 1993 and the first time the Mustangs had limited an opponent to less than 40 points since a 63-35 win over Idaho on Jan.
There are many wineries in San Luis Obispo, and many opportunities to try them out. The problem? They’re all very spread out. Perhaps the reason people don’t venture out to taste wines more often is the perceived distance from quaint little San Luis Obispo proper.
It’s that time of the quarter again; the dreaded finals are approaching fast. It’s time to declare yourself virtually lifeless for the next few weeks and hit the books. You may already have a strategy for studying that works for you, or you may be cowering in fear for your first round of ultimate collegiate torture.
Knock-knock. Who’s there? Another “Guide to Life.” Another “Guide to Life” who? Another “Guide to Life” for you.
That, my friends, is one of the worst jokes that one could probably ever come up with. The setup was horrible, the punchline was even worse, and the sanctity of all knock-knock jokes just received a, well, knock altogether.
