June 2, 2012 by Archived posts 4 Comments

By Richard Bowie |Editor in Chief| Soon, when you bite down into your Double Whopper with cheese, you’ll be able to feel comforted by the fact that the animals used to make it got to spend a few fleeting hours outside of the tiny, filthy cages that will still be used across the world to house the 10 billion other animals killed for human consumption each year. Hooray. Burger King recently vowed that all their pork and eggs will come from cage-free animals by 2017, in what is seen as a huge step toward answering a growing public cry for more humane meat.

February 12, 2012 by Archived posts 141 Comments

By Lizbeth Lopez |Staff Writer| It is no secret that many students are upset with the tuition fee increases, and we have shown our displeasure, but we need to present a proposal to solve the decrease in state funding toward higher education and the constant tuition increases. The state should implement a merit based scale discount that will be determined based on the students’ GPA to lower their tuition. According to USA Today, state support for higher education in California has dropped from $11 billion to about $9.6 billion in the past five years. Administrators believe that the only way to maintain quality education is by increasing tuition fees since it is the only stream of … [Read more...] about My plan to a tuition free CSU
