    Self discovery may be Cuesta’s deepest cut

    By Scott Bosco Photo Editor Kristina Thorson, a second year, sighs and looks off distantly. Her thoughts seem to trail off when asked a question about what her major is. “I think I can’t answer that right now, I have no idea what I want to do or what I am good at,” Thorson said. “I guess I plan to just figure it out eventually.” Eventually is going to have to come sooner rather than later for Thorson and students [...]

    Speaking out for Don Norton

    By James Schank Features Editor When a lawsuit became public involving Cuesta’s Human Development division chair, Don Norton and several other faculty members, Cuesta College and those being sued chose to remain silent citing legal restraints. Defendants President Gil Stork, Dean Toni Sommer and Norton were all approached by the Cuestonian and asked about the allegations. None would comment. But support for Norton has found its way to the surface. For example, on March 15, 2012, a letter from the [...]

Jerry Brown’s proposed tax initiative, 20,000 to 25,000 eligible students will be turned away from CSUs for the fall 2013 semester leaving many Cuesta students stranded.

    Accreditation goes from bad to worse

    By Ethan Cardoza Editor-in-Chief A year from now, Cuesta will either have its accreditation reaffirmed or revoked. Cuesta has been required to submit a Show Cause report to the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) by Oct. 15, 2012 in response to an accreditation commission campus visit last November.  The Show Cause report must demonstrate why Cuesta’s accreditation should be continued.

    By Jason Enns: It’s a new semester and this means registering for new classes, buying a new parking permit and maybe a new ASCC ID card. Students who have already gone through this process online have noticed the two dollar transaction fee. College students are broke as it is. Loki Estes, third semester Cuesta student, made the point that that two dollars could be lunch. This is true, but it couldn’t even get you fries at the Cuesta Cafe; what [...]

    Broadway hit musical Avenue Q comes to SLO

    By James Schank: The winner of the  Tony “Triple Crown” for best musical, best score and best book,  Avenue Q has come to San Luis Obispo for the first time and is currently being performed at SLO’s own Kelrik theater on 1490 Southwood Dr. and ends Feb. 4. Avenue Q has been described many ways, but perhaps the most accurate being a satirical combination of adult drama mingled with the fun-loving puppets of Sesame Street and the abrasive political humor [...]

    Campus/city police working together in SLO community

    Although Cuesta squad cars say “Campus Police” their services don’t stop at the border of campus. Cuesta and Cal Poly have been working with municipal police in DUI check point operations and in writing up citations. At first, one might think that the municipalities are broke and are in need of  assistance from wherever they can get it. But, the real reason for this type of co-op operations with SLOPD and campus police is actually a legitimate form of police [...]
