Taught by a couple (who happen to be having a baby and are bisexual), Marshall Miller and Dorian Solot (a breast cancer survivor) speak to students about the ever-so-elusive female orgasm (and all the junk that comes with it). They cater to the not-so-hard-to-please college cro

Apparently there's something called the Bicycle Advisory Commission that helps out the whole Davis-being-a-bike-town thing, but nobody really cares.

For some odd reason, UC Davis is going to paint its logos on their bike loops around campus. It probably has something to do about being proud of our bike loops, since we take so much pride that we're a "bike friendly" town, but honestly, it's pretty useless.

The main topic of the series will be about the breakthrough human papilloma virus vaccine that is given to females to prevent some forms of cervical cancer.

"Freshmen Seminars" are basically BS classes worth about 1-2 units. The non-freshman population has pretty much reached the consensus that these seminars are useless bullsh*t. Not only do they take up a lot of time (even though they emphasize how "easy!" the classes are), they spend all that time on meaningless assignments that, although stupid,
