Police Review Board report exhibits lack of progress
The UC Berkeley Police Review Board’s final report about the police violence of Nov. 9, 2011, does only one thing definitively — it reveals that BAMN’s assessment of the PRB has been entirely correct. The PRB is an administration creature that should be boycotted now and in the future. The Read More…
Cop out
CAMPUS ISSUES: We hoped the Police Review Board’s report on Nov. 9 would be clear and strong. Instead, it was vague and ambiguous.
Two hundred two days after UCPD officers struck Occupy Cal protesters with batons, the UC Berkeley Police Review Board released its report on the events of the Nov. 9 demonstration. The May 29 report was delayed from its original Jan. 31 deadline in order to get more student input. Still, Read More…
Not the meaning of life
“What do you want to be in life?” Long, dramatic pause. “Happy.” If I had a nickel for every time somebody told me that his or her overarching life goal entailed “happiness,” I’d have enough to confuse and infuriate every cashier whose store I tried to buy anything from. Read More…
Sit in judgment
CITY AFFAIRS: We hope the Berkeley City Council puts a sit-lie measure on the November ballot to allow the city to decide on the matter.
Walking down Telegraph Avenue can be like navigating a maze, darting around passersby and engaging in conversation with some people while avoiding others.

Letters: June 4 – June 10
Arguments against Proposition 28 make fallacious claims This letter is in response to the editorial “On good terms,” originally posted June 4, 2012. There are many sound arguments to be made against term limits, but allowing legislators to “worry less about reelection” is not one of them. It is one Read More…
Barcelona Beauty
After more than 14 hours on a plane in order to fly thousands of miles across an ocean, I finally landed in Barcelona, ready to forget all about finals, classes and other miscellaneous Berkeley-related problems. As I made my way to the famous Ramblas — a long pedestrian street long Read More…
Despite College World Series loss, Bears not ashamed of season
The Bears breezed through the regular season, took down multiple ranked opponents, and became the first Cal team to host both the Regionals and Super-Regionals in postseason play. Despite one of the best regular seasons in Cal softball history, two losses to ranked opponents in the Women’s College World Series proved the Bears were not immortal. Read More…
Bears will try to build off breakout year
No one expected the Cal men’s golf team to break the school record for wins this year. No one expected the Bears to claim their first conference title. Certainly, no one expected them to win their NCAA regional — but they did. The golf world knew that the Bears had Read More…
Despite consistent season, Bears not elite yet
Given the caliber of the Cal men’s tennis team, the Bears showed remarkable consistency throughout the season. It just wasn’t the consistency of an elite program. After finishing the 2011 season ranked No. 14 in the country, head coach Peter Wright’s squad started the season with the same ranking and Read More…
