Car-Modifiers Face Legal Woes Due to Hobby

There was a crowd of over 50 car enthusiasts in the In-N-Out parking lot last Friday night, like there has been every Friday night since late last year. The gathering of mostly local college students meets around 10 p.m. to talk about their cars, eat hamburgers and meet new people.

For UCSB women’s basketball star Lindsay Taylor, the move to the WNBA could not have resulted in a more ideal situation. On Saturday, the WNBA’s Houston Comets chose the senior center as the 26th selection overall before her rights were traded to the Phoenix Mercury for the 27th pick.

Damn Skippy: Recent I.V. Decisions Should Concern Us All

Normally, I try to avoid local issues. Most of the time, they’re boring, and even if they’re not, regional matters are usually of little importance. Sometimes, they’re both, like A.S. elections. But right now, there are a couple of issues that are worth our precious time. Isla Vista parking permits and the recent anti-alcohol sentiment are excellent case studies in how to legislate poorly.

Activists Urge The Man to Lighten Up on Pot

Cannabis, hemp, grass, weed and Mary Jane lovers unite this week in celebration of Cannabis Awareness Week. Several events this week sponsored by the National Organization for the Reformation of Marijuana Laws (NORML) will offer cannabis education.

Hearing OKs Vote on Cervin Morris’ Run

In a hearing Monday, Associated Students Judicial Council unanimously upheld a Legislative Council vote to allow A.S. presidential candidate Cervin Morris to run for office, though he is four units short of the requirements to declare candidacy.
