On The Menu
Even though the weekend will be filled with candy corn, chocolate eyeballs and bite-size candy bars, there’s nothing better than a fresh-baked cookie or a slice of pie. Santa Barbara is no stranger to sugar, and these places are sure to satisfy that sweet tooth.
Facebook is Amazing
Facebook is amazing. I found out that you broke up with Tim, you left the Facebook group “If this group reaches 500,000 people it will be a large group,” and you posted on Katie’s wall “Omg!!! You look so good in that pic!” Not that I’m a stalker or anything, but I noticed you changed […]
All You Need Is 30 Votes
It was the great Jules Verne who once said that liberty is worth paying for, and as our recent campus-wide special election showed us, ours is worth $100 a quarter. Nevertheless, the Daily Nexus would like to take this time to thank all the students who took interest in the Students’ Initiative and voted “no” on GOLD. Never have we seen so much enthusiasm against a fee increase. It took a lot of guts for all of you to organize and fight back against groups that can afford pretty pink T-shirts and several advertisements, while also having the resources to stuff the ballot box with votes from within their own organizations.
Initiative Passes by Narrow Vote; Fees to Increase
The $100 per student per quarter fee increase known as Students’ Initiative passed yesterday by a narrow margin of 30 votes – but opposition to the initiative is still brewing. The final vote count came to 2,148 in favor, 2,118 against and 160 abstentions. The voter turnout was 24.4 percent of the student body, or 4,426 students. According to the Associated Students Constitution, which was rewritten last spring, the initiative needed to pass by a simple majority, 50 percent plus one, and 20 percent of the student body needed to vote in order for the election to count.
Gauchos, Gaels Knot It Up
With the unbeaten streak stretched to six, the UCSB women’s soccer team has one more conference game to go before heading to the Big West tournament. The streak continued with a 1-1 tie against St. Mary’s last night. The game had the Gauchos (6-6-6 overall, 4-1-1 in the Big West) down early, when St. Mary’s (3-11-4) notched the first goal of the match in the 24th minute. A Santa Barbara clear was then blocked by Gael forward Nikki Schrey, who drove the ball to the 18. With a two-on-two situation, Schrey passed to Gael forward Kira Copinga streaking into the box, who chipped it in for the score. UCSB Head Coach Paul Stumpf said that the Gauchos did not come out strong early, which had concerned him before the game.
Bush’s Military Act Hurts Constitution
I do not know how it happened, and when it became OK, but in the last several years our government has forgotten the words that our country was founded on. It seems like our fears have been exploited to a point where the American people will allow our senators to pass clearly unconstitutional acts. I would love to say that the Democrats have tried to fight these acts, but in fact, many of the Democrats with the majority of the Republicans have passed a bill that is clearly unconstitutional and clearly un-American.
