Ever since the whole ordeal began about the Cal Poly Salsa Club’s posters, I have been greatly amused by all the antics of these men and women who firmly believe in the idea of censorship. I could completely understand the…
Letters to the Editor
Bush bashing has gotten ridiculous
In Tuesday’s paper, an editorial referred to Deputy Prime Minister Shaath’s claim that George Bush said he thought God was speaking directly to him. This led to his decisions regarding Iraq, Afghanistan and the War on Terror. This supposedly occurred…
Only in America
It’s Tuesday morning and I’m riding my bike to school. Admittedly, I’m riding on the sidewalk and have just run two stop signs in the bike lane, when a cop comes running over full speed and jumps in front of…

A message from Musty
Musty the Mustang here; inviting everyone to come up with me and the Mustang Maniacs to watch the football team take on UC Davis next weekend (October 28th and 29th). The Horseshoe Classic is in Davis this year and we…
