Softball: Gauchos Look to Top Third-Place Cal Poly
After struggling on its last road trip, the UCSB softball team is looking for the comfort of home this weekend, hosting Central Coast rival Cal Poly. Santa Barbara (19-16 overall, 3-6 in the Big West) sits in fifth place after dropping its most recent Big West Conference series 2-1 to Cal State Northridge last weekend.
Boycott for Workers’ Rights
It seems that our favorite “longtime Isla Vista resident” is now angry with protesters who choose to wave flags other than American flags at immigrant rights rallies. Is there any right-wing bandwagon he won’t jump on? The problem with Mr. Sarria’s editorial (“Wave the U.S. Flag, Not Mexico’s,” Daily Nexus, April 26) is not his objection to the use of other flags, his expression of his opinion or the sharing of his story.

Initiatives Return Mixed Results

Women’s Water Polo: Six-Seed UC Irvine Downs UCSB
Things went well early for the UCSB women’s water polo team in its opening-round game in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament on Thursday. The Gauchos led 4-1 in the first quarter of the preliminary game against #6-seeded UC Irvine.
Poor Parenting To Blame for Gun Control Debate
As a child, I was taught proper gun safety. To this day, I can still remember this animated eagle telling me to never touch a gun and, if I saw one, to immediately notify an adult. My dad used to take me to gun shows, which, despite popular assumption, entailed more than just a bunch of right-wing, gun-totin’ rednecks showing off their latest forms of weaponry.
