Beats us, too
Our president, Donald Gerth, in an article on the status of the CSUS Athletics Department in Sunday’s Sacramento Bee, expressed his desire to “build a program that is thoroughly appropriate for this institution.” When asked what kind of program that would be, he replied, “It beats me.”Yeah, well, it beats us why it takes four years to get into Spanish 1A or why it takes both the WPE and English 20 to graduate or why President Gerth himself makes more than Gray Davis or Al Gore. Hell, it beats us why Gerth fired Judith Davidson, the very person who brought CSUS the best football season in a decade.
Yep, beats us too.

The petition for a faculty-wide vote of no confidence in Chancellor Reed has been filed with the Faculty Senate office with well over the 82 signatures needed to qualify it for the ballot. In fact, filled petitions are still coming in. The ballots for the vote will be distributed by each department beginning May 10 and faculty will have until May 21 to complete their ballots and return them to designated drop boxes.
Empty tank

Educate thyself
