Enjoy Your Freshman Year, You Lucky Bastards
By Alex Jakle
Staff Writer
Well kids, this is it, you made it to
the show. Congratulations, I hope you enjoyed the previews.
But I know what you’re thinking: what now? What
do I do now that I no longer have to get straight A’s,
join every club and be named Mr. Olympia so I can get
into college? It’s a toughie, I know (except I
didn’t get every A, and joined like two clubs.
Also I was impeached as sophomore class VP, but that’s
really neither here nor there). So here they are, the
Top Ten Ways to Enjoy Your Freshman Year, a must read
for all Frosh and a good brush up for the rest of you.
PAC Requirements
Need Revision
By Peter Douglas
Staff Writer
I'm not sure why I'm excited about all this talk about
reexamining the PAC system. I'm a sophomore with all
but two of my PAC requirements fulfilled, and by the
time any change is made, I will have fulfilled the rest
of my PAC's, have graduated, and be lying on the couch
at my parent's house unemployed and wondering what the
hell happened over the past four years. Deep down inside,
I'm altruistic though, and I want the coming generations
of bright-eyed sagehens to have the best college experience
possible. General education requirements form a backbone
to any university system, and they can either be a stimulating
incentive to acquire a truly broad base of knowledge
or a boring and pointless waste of time. Pomona's PAC
system falls somewhere in between the two extremes,
more towards the former than the latter, but still far
from perfect. So, although no one has asked me, here
is what I would do to change the PAC system.

New Alcohol Policy Has Already Failed Us
By

As an upperclassman returning to campus
this fall, I was greeted with several substantial changes
to campus life, including the newly renovated Frary
and Pearson buildings, the complete ravaging of the
Academic Quad, and the loss of our beloved Greenhouse.
But of all of this year’s changes, perhaps the
most significant one for myself and scores of other
Pomona students came in the form of the school’s
newly-revised alcohol policy.
The
Man: Still Keeping Us Down
By Peter Douglas

Being a college student these days
is pretty difficult. Being a college student while helping
to run a self-sufficient, solar-powered, socially active,
vegan cooperative is even more challenging. Doing all
of this while the FBI, ATF, and police spy on you, impede
your access to your own home, and confiscate your computer
and files is definitely absurd.

“Equal opportunity for all, special privilege
for none,” Andrew Jackson once said.
John Edwards is running for President in order to restore
this American ideal.
