No More Mr. Nice ‘Human
So, Halloween weekend is upon us, and I know who the Weatherhuman is going to haunt.
SB Aims for Title
Somehow, it always has to come down to this. It took penalty kicks to separate them last year, but this time around both programs will need to settle the score in under 110 minutes. With the Big West Tournament’s #1 seed in the balance and bragging rights on the line, it’s hard to imagine how Sunday’s home matchup between UCSB and Central Coast rival Cal Poly could get any bigger. The Gauchos (8-8-2 overall, 5-1-1 in Big West) are riding a six-conference match unbeaten streak into the regular season finale and yet still trail the Mustangs (12-5-0, 6-1-0) in the conference standings.
IV Halloween Is an Unaffordable UCSB Expense
The past couple of weeks have been filled with talk of raising fees in an attempt to mitigate some of the damage from the budget cuts our campus is faced with. There are talks of raising of student fees by 32 percent. On top of this, the College of Letters and Science is implementing a $2.50 per unit fee. Yet, as I look around campus, I can’t help but notice the absence of a number of incredible services.
SB Resets Road Codes
In response to the expiration of speed limit laws on several roads, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors set new limits at their meeting Tuesday.
Gaucho Great Keeps Rolling
It’s good to be good, but it’s better to be lucky. Andy Iro is a bit of both.
Proper Interview Preparation Pays Off
In my last column, I provided techniques on how to make a lasting impression on an employer through the most difficult medium — a phone screen. Now, how do you breeze by your competition in a face-to-face or on-site interview? That heady word: “preparation.”
IHC Hosts Conference
The Interdisciplinary Humanities Center held a roundtable symposium yesterday, the first lecture in its “Future of the University” series.
SB Set to Slam Conference Foes
This weekend, the Gauchos (16-5 overall, 6-3 Big West) will aim to avenge these losses as they welcome both the Fullerton Titans (12-9, 3-5) and the Long Beach 49ers (13-5, 6-2) to the Thunderdome. Winners of five of their last six, a healthy UCSB squad is chomping at the bit for a shot at redemption.
UC Seeks Inter-state Cash
In an effort to reel in extra financial compensation for the budget gap, UCSB officials are planning to admit additional out-of-state residents and international students.
MTD Moves Popular Lines to Avoid I.V. Holiday Rush
Due to heavy traffic and widespread street closures, local buses will suspend their services to and from Isla Vista throughout Halloween weekend.
