Emily Rancer As fall turns into winter, some hearty chili may become your perfect seasonal comfort food (despite this week’s crazy weather). Next week should be much cooler so cut out this recipe and save it until then. Or if…
Students and staff give quality performance in "Proof"
I would like to take this opportunity to give a hearty round of applause to the Theatre and Dance Department’s Fall production of the Pulitzer Prize winning play, “Proof.” If you did not get a chance to see it last…
Commentaries are not meant for carrying on grudges
Jack Ingram’s most recent column (Nov. 15) was ridiculous. Whether I agree with his point of view or not is irrelevant; in the words of Voltaire, I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to…
Column reply is pathetic
Jack Ingram, you’re wrong and Nick was right. Your attempted rebuttal to save face was sad, (wait let me use your favorite literary tool the thesaurus to find more sophisticated words to describe just how sad it was so I…

Futbol, the other fall sport
Men’s soccer coach Wolfgang Gartner is a horrible coach, role model and representative of Cal Poly. Do you know what I experience first-hand when I sit for a Cal Poly men’s game? I hear Wolfgang yelling at the top of…
Keeping everything stable
Khaled Hal Saad Zoologists study this concept called the Evolutionary Stable Strategy (ESS). It turns out that, through evolution, an animal population will adopt a survival strategy that will always be immune from encroachment from another strategy. For instance, if…
A word on tax breaks to the rich
Complaining about tax breaks for the rich? How naive. These tax breaks ensure that the ever responsible upper class has capital to employ us slobbering lower classes. We lower classes can’t invest and start companies. A: It’s un-American commie trash-talk.…
