Don’t Blame Arnold

by Mark Stefanos 03.09.2010

Or the regents. Or Yudof. Why our state, once the darling of our union, is now its biggest joke. What makes our problems virtually unsolvable. And how we fucked ourselves — A letter from the founder
It’s a breezy 75 degrees in January, as I bob up and down in the shallow water by the Santa [...]

A letter from the editor

by Stephen Crisafulli 11.04.2009

Recently, the communists have been out in force on campus dedicating a lot of time and vocal chords excoriating the failure of capitalism and how communism is the eventual answer. Capitalism, however, has overwhelmingly been a force for raising the standard of living across all levels of socioeconomic status.
The recent financial crisis has less to [...]

A letter from the editor

by John Ellis 06.03.2009

Back in 2003, as I walked down Landfair to vote in the recall of Gray Davis, I remember thinking what a bright future California had ahead of it. Here I was, about to be a part of the people of California’s final repudiation of big government, high taxes and far left interest groups’ stranglehold on [...]

BLOG: A new “Standard” for blogging

by Kelly Bowers 05.18.2009

I may be a bit biased, but I think The Bruin Standard is way better than the Daily Bruin. There are many reasons. For one, staff members are upfront when they are being “a bit biased.”
But I digress.
There is one thing the Daily Bruin has over The Bruin Standard. It comes out daily.
And while The Bruin Standard [...]

The Daily Bruin Bailout

by The Editors 05.04.2009

Poor Daily Bruin. Once so pretty, once so proud.
So pretty, they got a $275,000 grant from the Knight Foundation just last May. So proud, they boasted their independence and self-sufficiency at every chance. So proud of their pride, they would parade their nasal, bureaucratic worship of the Society of Professional Journalists ethics code, then smugly [...]

A letter from the editor

by Stephen Crisafulli 03.02.2009

Bipartisanship—it’s overrated.
There is a cult of thought that has people believing that we all must get along and agree before we can act. As the Democrats in Congress have recently shown, they’re not afraid to be partisan and lock Republicans out of making changes to the stimulus bill. Good for them.
On the other side of [...]

Editor’s corner

by Stephen Crisafulli 11.03.2008

Hello, November 2008. It’s an election year, and that means we again have the opportunity to shape the course of this nation.

We must be very careful about the decisions we make, and who we choose to elect. Here’s food for thought: the difference between a “politician” and a “statesman.”
A man named Webster once defined politician [...]

A note from the editor, June 2008

by Mark Stefanos 06.02.2008

Bye.
Hey look, it’s June. How the hell did that happen?
Before I go graduate, I want to share some of my opinions which never made it into an issue this year. This way I leave you with something to remember me by – the rants of an idiot.

A note from the editor, April 2008

by Mark Stefanos 04.22.2008

On student government and the upcoming elections
I provide some background into Students First! in our lead article, but I’d like this opportunity to invoke the memory of another slate.
As a transfer student, I wasn’t around for Slate Refund, which took a lively but unsuccessful third-party stab for student government in Spring 2006. Their platform was [...]
