UCSB Fights its Way Into Finals
After managing only one win over its inaugural season in the Big West, the #17 UCSB women’s water polo team took second at the Big West Championships in Stockton this weekend after a thrilling semifinal win over top-seeded #13 CSU Northridge propelled the fourth-seeded Gauchos into the championship game. Santa Barbara (17-12 overall, 1-4 in Big West) finished the season with 11 more wins than the previous year, including six victories over ranked opponents.
Take a Puff and Stop Hating on Weed
Mr. Sforza’s column (“A Joint Rolled Is a Body Buried,” Daily Nexus, April 22) is a fundamentally flawed, though well intended, article. Mr. Sforza obviously cares about the suffering innocents in Mexico, but seeks to alleviate their suffering by guilt-tripping UCSB’s rather large stoner demographic into putting down their pipes. In his righteous anger, Mr. […]

I Want a Recount!
You all failed me. All I asked was that you band together just a little bit to elect the Weatherhuman as A.S. president, and you let me down. Thanks guys. To make it worse, A.S. didn’t even include me in their election tally. Actually, that’s a tad suspicious, don’t you think? It leads me to […]
SB Trounces Pacific
After splitting the weekend’s opening doubleheader, the UCSB softball team rode yet another commanding performance by freshman right-hander Krista Cobb to earn a 5-0 rubber match victory against Pacific on Sunday. With the wins, the Gauchos (23-22 overall, 6-9 in Big West) set two dubious streaks to rest in Stockton, ending both their four-game losing streak and six-game conference road losing streak.
