Running Out of Options? Easiest Classes This Semester, Part I
(The semester is now closer than ever, and you’re probably scrambling around Telebears these last few weeks, filling up holes in your schedules with classes you probably will end up hating. Well, no worries. We’ll be happy to provide you with teachers who will be pushover…push you to your limits. Of your alarm clocks. If [...]
Just When You Thought You Were Out…
In the past few months, I’ve witness almost all the possible buzz you can dig up about Allison Stokke, and I’m rather exhausted by the whole thing. I’d like to move on as soon as possible with reality, which is that she’ll be a damned awesome athlete. The only thing that would make me revive [...]
Now Here’s One Athlete Who’s Embraced Her Looks
< !– google_ad_section_start –> We move from one Cal female athlete who supposedly shies away from the limelight to one who properly embraces it. Elizabeth Dindial, who graduated last year from Cal, has been utilizing her physical talents to maximal advantage to help educate, inform, and help us all.< !– google_ad_section_end –> Oh yeah, and [...]
Taking it to the Limit (and No More)
Allison Stokke is busying up for her freshman year at Cal, and she’s tired of all the attention you’re giving her. So she decided to express her desire to avoid the limelight by going on ESPN Radio’s The Big Show earlier this week to confront these issues. Because what better place to avoid the leers [...]
Barriers to Exiting
If people gave us two words to describe Cal students, it’s ‘industriously lazy’. Here is an example of their deductive skills in action… “They’re doing it. Why can’t we do it too? Wooee, let’s go!” (Just to let you know, it is a slooow week in these parts…) Response to broken escalator [YouTube]
Student Special: The Republicans, Dominating Cal As Usual
Everyone takes for granted that Berkeley is a liberal heathen town that would slaughter elephants like game poachers, but try telling that to the Berkeley College Republicans, who have impressively mobilized to dominate the oh-so-important political world of Cal. Especially since no one ever knows where those fifty-three electoral votes will go in November. So [...]
Student Special: Freshmen Have Their Moments
Most of the time we bitch about how the frosh come in with their completely misaligned goals, their endless moaning, their out of whack priorities (you know, kind of like how we were when we first started at Cal). But there are always exceptions, those pupils out there who have found their place, discovered where [...]
Student Special: ASUC Leaders Are Talented
Van Nguyen might be in control and in power now, but a few months ago on the campaign trail, he was putting his whole message on display for the world to see. Passionate and unmelodious tunes along with a gusto for diversity seemed to be the final nail in placing him into the ASUC upper [...]
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 [...]
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, he figures [...]
