COLUMN: Hand-Picked Apples Don't Fall Far: Conflict of Interest Illuminated
I'm uncertain whether it's the fundamental understanding of the Democratic Process I gleaned from elementary school, or the fact I have eyeballs, which allows me to see the discriminatory proceedings against Jason Robo for the farce that they are. The impeachment, his removal, the disciplinary hearing in which it would seem Jason had inadequate access to counsel or opportunity for defense/support - ALL "conveniently" timed.…

COLUMN: University Center "Restructuring" Reflect, Inspire, Take Action!
It would be in poor taste and would be socially irresponsible of me as a citizen of H.S.U. and one of many of your public servants to address an issue and then not offer some solution, and a logical and clearly defined plan of action. I will warn however that this task is no easy feat, as there has been an aggressive campaign on the part of the administration to blatantly spread disinformation, lies, and deception.…

COLUMN: What We Can Learn from Jason Robo
Let me start this off by saying that this is not an argument pummeling Jason for his beliefs. Enough of that has been done already whether I believe in it or not. This is more of an examination of what we can learn from his actions.
Jason is probably one of the most despised students by the administration in the history of Humboldt State, and how can you blame them? The dialogue he creates can, at times, become hurtful and completely derogatory.…

COLUMN: The naked truth
As I listened to my principal explain the reasons he pulled Eureka High's Redwood Bark student newspaper from its news stands on April 25, I had a funny fleeting notion that I should call Howard Seemann and ask his advice. Howard, who was the Lumberjack adviser for 30 plus years, and who mentored me regarding student and adviser press rights, was unfortunately no longer answering the phone.…

COLUMN: Farewell to Humboldt!
Dear Lumberjack readers,
I have had the experience of being the editor-in-chief of the Lumberjack this semester, and I want to thank you all for reading and thank you so much to my staff for working as hard as you have this semester. If you know anyone who works for the Lumberjack, buy them a beer! They work extremely hard, and are doing the best they can.…

COLUMN: Words of advice from a graduating senior
In my three years at this university, I ran the student newspaper for a semester, participated in a spontaneous protest to budget cuts in the form of C.A.U.S.E. (Community Action United to Save Education) and reported on university budget and student right issues for about two years.…

COLUMN: A unique (and perhaps beneficial) political recession on campus
I wasn't going to write on the state of our election cycle another time, but that was before I realized just how many information gaps and exaggerated rumors crisscross our everyday interactions like a high-security laser grid. I don't think it's impertinent to say that most students are angry with all these twists and turns, for what I'm sure is a multiplicity of different reasons.…

COLUMN: Is Luke Ferrari Right For you?AS Presidential Candidate for 2008-2009
What's the word Humboldt? I love this school and would love to represent it as your A.S. President. I have been here for a year and half and in that time I have met some really great, like-minded mellow people. When I came to check out H.S.U. it was during reggae on the river, I came to Arcata and once I saw the community forest it was all over, I knew this was the place for me.…

Racism Period!
The evening of February 23, 2008, two women of color were walking in downtown Arcata when two white males harassed them. When the university police department (UPD) was called, the women were redirected to the Arcata Police Department, they were told that they were too far outside UPD jurisdiction.…
