Santa Clara facilities workers are part of our campus community, they are employed by the university and many of them have been working here for 20 years or more. There is no reason why they should be receiving lesser treatment or respect, they are just as much a part of our community.

Walt Disney Company inspires and entertains, but these goals would not be possible without the brilliant craft of storytelling.

America has something of a love-hate relationship with the Disney company.

Proposition 1A authorized $9.95 billion in bonds to fund a high-speed train to Los Angeles from San Francisco. This project must be killed immediately.

Amidst all this drug and alcohol use, let's not forget all the Andy Rooney's and the Jeffrey Zaslow's — people who undeniably did more good than harm while they were alive.

Why don't we show our love for others every day?

With the opportunity to enrich our lives with such a variety of engaging and thought-provoking literature and media, we choose fist pumping and slang talking, cat fighting and name calling, "Jersey Shore" and the "Bachelor." If this is the direction American values are headed, I really hope the Mayans got their numerology right.

When it comes to chivalry, intention is everything. If you go out of your way for a girl because you sincerely find her incapable of doing things for herself (which I hope most guys don't truly believe), she will pick up on that.

The only reasonable way a non-smoker is going to be exposed to significant smoke today is for a brief moment as he or she passes a smoker on the way to class. The notion that this requires a campus-wide smoking ban is baffling.

The difficult thing about dating in college is that every person has their own set of rules.

"Emotional distress" is simply not enough of a reason to rescind someone's right to speak freely, no matter how vulgar that person may be.

I want none of the U.S. presidential candidates to become the leader of the country.

The one prediction that we are all concerned about is whether or not the world will end.
