E-Romance Is Smarter Than You Think
By Kelsey Marrujo
Going on four years at UCSD, I’ve learned that scoring a decent date from the general pool is just short of impossible — considering 99 percent of on-campus pickup conversations fall flat after, “What’s your major?” That’s where Internet dating sites — widely viewed as the crux of societal shame — swoop in to save the [...]
Washroom Musings From the Depths of the Beltway
By Reza Farazmand
Like all great men of science, I do my best thinking on the toilet. I’m more focused. I’m more alert. I’m usually not wearing pants. For me, a bowel movement is a time for deep reflection, an opportunity to ponder the unremitting mysteries of the universe — like why nations go to war, how societies [...]
Check Yo’ Fears Stateside: A Guide to Couch-Surfing
By Sari Thayer
The prospect of sleeping on a stranger’s floor in a foreign country raises a number of questions: How many sweaty, unclothed travelers past have grazed this blanket? Should I run and find a hostel before it’s too late? Is it cool to borrow toothpaste? How-to Guru knows firsthand that couch-surfing is a daunting activity. That’s why, [...]
Fighting Productivity One Geezer at a Time
By Trevor Cox
Like the many of you who haven’t yet succumbed to the real world of hard deadlines and meals that don’t come in a box, I’m a highly skilled procrastinator. My unwillingness — inability, perhaps — to do things in a timely manner has historically ensured a number of things in life, ranging from a ‘B’ [...]
After March Forth, We’re a Step Further
By Editorial Board
The past three weeks of race rallies notwithstanding, it’s pretty rare for most on this campus to care about something enough to band together and get noticed. So when Library Walk reached max capacity last Thursday, filled with students and faculty members protesting fee hikes, budget cuts, acts of racism and myriad other problems within the [...]

Under Frozen Funds, Divided We Stand
By Editorial Board
Two weeks after A.S. President Utsav Gupta panicked under pressure and froze media-org funding campuswide, all he’s got to show in the name of progress is an ominously divided committee, a lot of angry students and a fat lawsuit in the works. We saw the shitstorm on the horizon the second Gupta’s rushed decision hit our [...]
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Reactions to Racist Events Are Overblown
By a reader
Dear Editor, As a current UCSD student, I am saddened to see the behavior on campus over the past two weeks — by all of the parties involved. What was originally intended as a tongue-in-cheek social event has been latched onto by an overly sensitive and zealous group of minority students, a weak faculty, sensationalist media [...]

The Sex Offender Next Door
By Guardian Opinion
Law is Useless Without Enforcement James Donnelly, the registered sex offender and new neighbor of Wildwood Elementary School, in Piedmont, is the official guinea pig of a law that never quite reached puberty. Jessica’s Law — mandated in 2006 after its nine-year-old namesake was raped and murdered by a convicted sex offender — requires a minimum [...]
