What Up With That? Two dollar fee to pay for tuition online
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 downtown 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 of South Park.

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 [...]

Students concerned over recent UC police and protestor clashes
Rising tuition costs and successes from the Occupy Wall Street protests have sparked student activism across California campuses. The police response has been widely documented on the internet and is gaining the attention of traditional media. The UC Davis pepper spray incident has many perspectives and millions of views on Youtube and clearly shows police Lt. John Pike spraying a canister at point blank range. UC Davis police chief Annette Spicuzza told the Sacramento Bee that “There was no way [...]

Get ready to Moodle
Distance education will be changing its operating system from Blackboard to Moodle beginning in the Spring 2012 semester with the migration completed by Summer 2012. Blackboard has been criticized for charging schools too much to rent their software. The transition will bring costs down for the school because Moodle is a open source system. This means that there is no licensing fee for the product, which could save the college thousands of dollars. “I think it is a good idea [...]

Cuesta: increasingly decreasing
The mystery behind the incredible shrinking student body size Thousands fewer students are attending Cuesta College than were just a few years ago, with the numbers dropping from 13,443 total enrolled students in 2009 to 11,010 this fall. What is to blame? Mostly, it’s state funding. Within the past few years, the state of California has reduced funding for schools all across the state, including Cuesta. The decreased funding affects every level of education on Cuesta campus, from teachers, to [...]

1 of 7: Another Cougar reaches MLB
What if you were relaxing on your couch and you got a phone call from your dream employer telling you that you just earned the job. In this case, it’s Major League Baseball telling you, “son, welcome to the Majors.” This happened to former Cuesta College center fielder Logan Schafer on three occasions. In 2006, the Boston Red Sox drafted Schafer in the 31st round, but he decided to stay in school and play another season. The next year, the [...]

Eat the super rich, or be eaten
Why aren’t Wall street crooks in jail? Have you had enough of all the budget cuts, tuition and book price hikes? I know I have. But, unfortunately, there seems to be no end in sight to all this chaos and austerity. Until recently, when activists started protesting in New York, nobody seemed to care or want to do a thing about the lavish crimes that got us here. Now people across the country have taken the spirit of the Wall [...]
