This designated voice of the student body is supposed to represent us, but since so few of us actually voted our representatives into office, they’re not taken as seriously as they should be in front of the university’s administration. And since almost none of us are providing any sort of relative discourse, our Associated Students are free to do, pretty much, whatever they want. Our voice is stifled, out of control and not living up to its potential.

Delta farmers, agriculture industry at odds over water
Parched grass blades wave alongside the river. Bald rocks dot the sides of the levee. A hot wind rushes through a cornfield. The land is still, and ominously dry. In the South Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, an abundant water supply is central to the farming community. It is the largest estuary on the West Coast and roughly 44 percent of the land serves as an agricultural lifeline.

Hollywood in Remake Heaven
Movies often provide an escape from reality, offering an opportunity to cast aside everyday stress through creative and fresh entertainment. You pay $10 to sit in the plush, red velvet theatre seat, munch on popcorn, melt Junior Mints in your mouth and slurp on a cherry Slushy before the classic Hollywood magic begins. But what do you get instead? A remake.

To Breed or Not to Breed
Newsflash: it's not that easy, and the fact that people are realizing this is starting to show. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 44 percent of American women of childbearing age were childless in 2002. More telling, 18 percent of women ages 40 to 44 were still childless, up from 10 percent in 1976. Why aren't people breeding like they used to?

But instead of performing manual labor, he writhes around onstage in a hookers wedding dress reminiscent of Madonnas notorious Like a Virgin performance at the very first MTV Video Music Awards in 1984.

The Fall of the Wild
Salmon farming took off in Washington and British Columbia during the 1980s in hopes that it would create jobs and preserve wild stocks.

Despite the rewards, several women refuse to even consider giving up their eggs, as the controversy of the procedure crosses over many ethical, social, and cultural boundaries.
