Classic Cal: Our Professors Are Bored
You’d figure in a place like UC Berkeley that the faculty will be super focused on their research or their students to get seriously angry. But vendettas happen every now and then. Like when one unethical student steals his laptop on the eve of a midterm, and you allow him the opportunity to give a [...]
Francisco Elson Didn’t Learn Enough About Diversity
If the San Antonio Spurs go on to win their 4th title (as many expect they will), the glum, “grasping for straws” Bay Area basketball fan might linger in despair until Baron Davis starts penetrating to the hole in a few weeks. Well, Golden Bears, you can find at least one man to wishy-washily root [...]
San Francisco Desires the Moral High Ground
The Bay Area has a longstanding history of opposing authority since the 60s–seen above is an example of their up-and-coming counterforce to all the military buildup that the US government has overseen. So it comes as no surprise that they have extended their battle with the government to our veterans. Their pernicious and honorable influence [...]
The Lord Cannot Be Pleased With This
A week or so ago back in Berkeley, the progressive and spiritually enlightened Chris Hedges and the atheist “neo-con” Christopher Hitchens (yeah, you heard that right) squared off in your usual debate about the existence of God–and we’re not talking about the Flying Spaghetti Monster. We’ve seen Hitchens go head-to-head with Jon Stewart and Bill [...]
Student Special: Raging Bear
Meet our new hero Mark DeMaio, a man’s man for this generation of Golden Bears. In this feature documentary, he has to undergo the trials and tribulations of dating what we will assume is a sorority girl (or as he fondly refers to, “The Slut”). Through this process of discovering clingy female insecurity, [...]
This Godless Killing Machine Hibernates…
Our ridiculously long streak of annoying posting will be coming to an end quite soon. Your editor at Bears Necessity will be out of the country for the rest of June, so our loyal readers most likely will not be getting any current events/feature stories until we return in July. You’re more likely to be [...]
Wait, Survivor is Still on the Air?
Meet UC Berkeley’s Coolest IT man, Yau-Man Chan. Apparently in this reality show world of cutthroat backstabbing and feel-bad sniping, this humble sage has brought back some mental stability and trust into a world where survival of the fittest is everything.
This season’s recent Survivor:Fiji results proved stunningly disappointing for fans of Yau-Man Chan, the College [...]

Congratulations, Your Awareness Is Useless and Painful
It’s certainly an honor to be compared to great figures in human history who have inspired us to change for their better. For instance, many people use Gandhi as their main man these days with that increasingly overused “you must be change” quote. So when Professor Mark Danner gloriously compared his graduates to a [...]
Wonder What Bulldozed Hippie Smells Like (This Weekend in Sports)
As widely reported and speculated in the happy, friendly, bored Cal sporting blogosphere, it seems we’re moving closer to getting retrofitting going in our beloved stadium.
The Hayward Fault cuts through Memorial Stadium, which means that a large-magnitude earthquake could severely damage the structure and endanger lives. Each day, nearly 500 students and staff [...]
