The Marine Protests Appear to Have Reached an Epilogue

dear Anonymous: the initial post was unbiased. My response to your clearly biased comment was not. Isn't that how we fight the internet politics fight?

but the point is, do you really have to bombard this apolitical blog with your viewpoints? do you have some innate desire to explain the crap out of a simple remark? do you need to assert your intellectual dominance on everybody who might be reading?

i consider this a pretty lost cause, we dont really care for your perspective here.

thanks tallblonde.

U-Haul of Berkeley, Why Do You Suck?

U-Haul of Berkeley, Why Do You Suck?
may 31st is the day most leases on students' apartments end. That means thousands upon thousands of students will spill into the streets, carrying their crappy furniture and poorly packed luggage from one residence to the next.

And you know who doesn't help? U-Haul. Not only is the U-Haul in Berkeley known for its inability to service on time o

The Marine Protests Appear to Have Reached an Epilogue

lets assume everything you said is true, which i do, and im not doubting your source of information.

My point is that there is no direct, absolute link between protesting marine recruiting and being communist. yeah, some members of the cause have radical leftist leanings, but it is not a necessary association. one can protest the war without ever, ever declaring communist affiliations, which applies to the majority of protesters and members of city council. thats like calling the republican party a bunch of tax frauds and sexual deviants: a couple bad apples should not ruin the identity of a general group.

the republican party of today would be completely unrecognizable to its founders (i believe Griz from 30 Rock said the same thing...).

Case 1: the republican party was born from the ashes of the whig party, which borrows its name from the "liberal" british counterpart.

Case 2: notice that the majority of northern and north-east states who voted republican in the days of the 13th -15th amendments now all vote democrat (except ohio that one time we really needed it...).

Case 3: Talk to any US historian and he or she will point to the reversal of party platforms, roughly when johnson passed the civil rights act. There is no way to look at american political history and not notice the switching in roles. you can argue that the context has changed, but when your party continues to nominate supreme court justices who still believe brown v. board of education is wrong, i wouldnt bother.

final point: son (or daughter, but that sounds weird), this is a college blog. No one comes here looking for political ammunition. If you want to carry out this argument I will give you my email, but i want to spare the viewing public from these kinds of online debates.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I Present to You: Mark Yudof

Ladies and Gentlemen, I Present to You: Mark Yudof
Mark Yudof is the University of California's new president. He was previously University of Minnesota president, and also a leader in the University of Texas system.

So he's got experience, big whoop. Why should we care?

Because he knows as well as we do that higher public education in California is being squeezed, and we have to fight it.

Where'd you all go?
Though it surely has not reached a conclusion. The Marine Recruiting Center on Shattuck Avenue still stands, and Code Pink still meets in the front weekly to display their dismay.

But things have been winding down, as only a handful of protesters have been showing up as of recently. Both the city council and Code Pink have

Please, Please Do Not Shoot the Messenger: General Information on Your Tuition Hikes
Earlier this month, UC Regents voted, 7-2, to authorize a 7.4% fee increase for the coming school year. While the governor has promised to retain the same amount of funds for the UC system this year as had been allocated for last year, UCs and CSUs are expecting to enroll fewer students.

If schools are planning to admit fewer people at higher c...
