Dear Editor, The other day, I read Chasen Doerr’s op-ed about musical artists and how people like Ke$ha and Chris Brown won’t last, which I completely agree with. But I don’t agree with the idea that “The most successful bands and artists are those who give fans what they want.”[Read More…]

CSULB Social Work Students lobby in Sacramento to abolish sexual exploitation of children
Dear Editor, Currently, any person who is convicted of pimping or procuring a minor under the age of 16 for prostitution may be ordered a fine by the court of $5,000. AB 12 (Abolition of Child Commerce, Exploitation, and Sexual Slavery Act of 2011) hopes to increase the $5,000 fine[Read More…]
Dream Act should be implemented
Dear Editor, The United States is considered 18 out of the 36 nations when it comes to education.

Social Workers lobby for title protection

Planned Parenthood should not be supported

Letter to the Editor: Seventh Street reconstruction will be beneficial
Dear Editor, A Feb. 21 opinion piece published by the Daily 49er questions the need for the Orange County Transportation Authority’s West County Connectors (WCC) project.

Letter to the Editor- Food insecure Our View ‘degenerately uninformative’
I found the Nov. 19 editorial entitled, “Food insecure should be considered this holiday” degenerately uninformative and unaware of the socio-economic complexities involved in the manifestation and exacerbation of food insecurity in the United States.

Letter to the Editor- University Library has ‘bird’s eye view of the campus’ – literally!
We here at the library have a bird’s eye view of the campus and of the birds we see from our windows on the fourth floor. While we are diligently working we have had the pleasure of seeing so many wonderful birds. We’ve enjoyed hummingbirds raising their young, watched ravens[Read More…]
Letter to the Editor- ASI coordinator unhappy
While the Associated Students, Inc. is pleased the More than Numbers voter registration drive turned out to be a huge success, the fact that ballots had run out at the campus polling location is unfortunate. However, it is unwise, presumptuous and wrong to blame the ASI for the shortage. In[Read More…]
