Much Ado about Floating
Man, how crazy was Floatopia 2? No, seriously, how crazy was it? I wasn’t there. What’s that you say? Why, you weren’t either? Hmm… It’s almost as though nobody actually went. Either the emergency reactionary beach-drinking ban worked and stopped thousands of already illegally drinking minors from continuing to drink illegally, or this was all […]
UCSB Sweeps Dirtbags

On S&M and His Boxers
Reader! We’ve made it. We have arrived at a milestone day. This is the ninth installment of “Dear Igor.” Pretty darn fantastic, if you ask me. To be honest, I never thought we’d make it this far. A name like Igor in the newspaper business? “It’ll never sell,” they told me. Well, they were wrong. All across campus, thousands upon thousands of Nexus issues were sold for free ninety-nine. To celebrate, I’ve decided to finally meet the 21st century. I have a new e-mail (dearigor@gmail.com), which is the new place to send your questions. And, for those of you that have advice withdrawals mid-week, you can now follow me on Twitter (@dearigor). I’m super excited. Oh, by the way, quick question, do you know what time it is? That’s right: advice time.

The Gauchos (26-25 overall, 9-12 in the Big West) intended to host the three game set with Cal State Fullerton within the friendly confines of Campus Diamond last weekend, but instead found themselves unexpectedly whisked away to the unforgiving campus of Cal Poly due to poor air quality back home.
UCSB Houses Evacuees
Hundreds of Santa Barbara residents fleeing the Jesusita Fire sought refuge on campus this weekend.
Prop 1A Is Just More of the Same
Proposition 1A is a Trojan horse. It promises allocations of funds for education and infrastructure upkeep in a coordinated effort to decrease the state deficit. This is unfortunately not going to happen with business continuing as usual in Sacramento.
