Strong first halves propel Cal men's water polo to two victories
Getting off to early leads is impressive in any sport, but maintaining those leads throughout the course of an entire game is even more noteworthy. This week, Cal men’s water polo used strong first-half performances to remain unbeaten on the season. The No. 3 Bears (6-0) took down a pair of Northern California opponents on the road, beating No. 5 Pacific and UC Davis this past week.
Cal men's water polo represented in FINA World Cup
Once again, there will be Golden Bears representing Team USA on the world stage, as three Cal men’s water polo players have been named to the 2018 FINA World Cup roster. Former Cal standouts Nic Carniglia and Luca Cupido will join current senior Johnny Hooper to represent the stars and stripes in Berlin, Germany from Sept. 11-16. Meanwhile, assistant coach Jeff Tyrrell, a former player for the Bears himself, was selected to assume the same role on Team USA.
Cal football silences 'white out' crowd, holds off BYU 21-18
Chase Garbers. Brandon McIlwain. Evan Weaver. Three players who, a few weeks ago, weren’t exactly the first names that would come to mind when asked about Cal football’s loudest playmakers heading into the 2018 campaign. Fast-forward to a warm Saturday night in Provo, when the three playmakers made sure that the once loud, late-night crowd at LaVell Edwards Stadium remembered their names, spearheading a sloppy yet undoubtedly satisfying 21-18 win for Justin Wilcox’s squad.

Weekender | Memoir of sorts: My journey through East Asian California
A h, yes, new beginnings. I believe this calls for a bittersweet journey down memory lane. This particular individual, who once existed in a state of naiveté and, depending on your definition of this particular word, innocence, currently exists in a different capacity, the pieces of which threaten to change yet again as I begin my last year of college. The night before I began my college career, a sudden wave of tears began to inch outward from my closed eyes.
Cal football takes on upstart BYU team for 1st road game of 2018
BYU head coach Kalani Sitake is as loud as they come in the business of American football coaching. LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah, where the Cougars will host the Bears for their home opener Saturday evening, is one of the more electric venues in college football. And with a fan base that is as fired up as any after BYU stunned heavily favored Arizona in Tucson last weekend, the Bears might as well be flying into a hornet’s nest for their first road test of the 2018 campaign.
Walking the cultural crossroads between US and UK
As summer months fade into fall, a season of change approaches. The view from my window is different this time of year. Instead of Berkeley’s Fulton Street — with its shady oaks and speedy bikers — regal flats, decked red buses and lush Bloomsbury parks fill the frame. London has always been a charming city to me — a far-off place across the pond, so distant that its (seeming) inaccessibility gave it an effortless allure.
Weekender | Student Research | Uncovering unwritten law
Editor’s note: This is part of a continuing series highlighting the research being carried out by undergraduates at UC Berkeley across a variety of disciplines. You can find all the stories in the series here. Starting in the late 1800s, Chicago began encountering an unusual phenomenon: Hundreds of women in the Windy City were killing their husbands and getting away with it.
The Weekender | Evicted from UC Berkeley: Lack of spousal rights in the university housing system
Undoubtedly, the housing crisis has made finding fair housing in the Bay Area all the more rare. Priscilla Wilson, who moved from Los Angeles to support her wife’s academic pursuits, believed she was one of the few lucky residents to find an affordable, safe home with the university’s family housing complex. This was not the case, however, as she was abruptly evicted and left homeless soon after making the decision to separate from her spouse.
Berkeley engages in pungent discourse over cannabis at town hall
Government officials, business owners and residents came together to discuss Berkeley’s local cannabis policies at a community town hall Wednesday evening. They met to address future opportunities and remaining shortcomings of Berkeley’s cannabis regulation, such as the competitiveness of legally licensed businesses with the black market. Other concerns persist over public safety, youth access to marijuana and the hurdles cannabis distributors and cultivators face in setting up shop in the city.
Berkeley Planning Commission votes to review student housing proposals
UC Berkeley students attended a city Planning Commission meeting Wednesday night to voice their support for the More Student Housing Now Resolution, and a motion was passed unanimously to review the proposals outlined in the resolution. The proposals outlined in the More Student Housing Now Resolution include adding 20 feet of height to buildings on Southside, no longer requiring parking spots per housing unit, constructing two high-rise student housing complexes and funding low-income housing.
A tour of the Mark Twain Project
UC Berkeley’s best-kept secret isn’t trying to hold its title. To find this secret’s location, embark on the labyrinthine journey by first entering through the front doors of Doe Memorial Library. Go up the left side of the marble staircase (or take the elevator) to the second floor, through the Heyns Reading Room and past Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze’s mammoth 1853 painting, “Washington Rallying the Troops at Monmouth,” then turn down a long hallway to arrive at the Bancroft Library.
Being alone no longer feels so lonely
I’d always had difficulty making friends as a child. Though I didn’t know it then, I had mild social anxiety, which I often thought of as me just being shy. I couldn’t bring myself to talk to my peers no matter how much I wanted to. I could only sit and watch as they talked to each other and not to me. Some of my classmates were already friends with each other coming into school and immediately had a group of friendly faces to fall back on in case their new friendship conquests didn’t work out.
UC Berkeley must put students first in sex misconduct cases
A little over a month ago, I was notified that my former professor has been suspended for three years without pay. The outcome has been long in the making; I filed my complaint in March 2016. The process has been mostly silent.
Quiz: Which Bay Area bridge are you based on how stable your life is?
One of the many perks of living in the Bay Area is the many bridges it has to offer. You’ve got your iconic Golden Gate Bridge, which is often used as a symbol for California and makes for some incredible photos. Then you’ve got the Bay Bridge, which is famous for its light show and also being the bridge Berkeley students often cross on their way to San Francisco on the F bus. It can be argued that these bridges are the most stable thing in the Bay right now.
UC expands sustainability goals, aims for 100 percent clean electricity
Upgrading the Carbon Neutrality Initiative, the University of California set broader systemwide sustainability goals Tuesday, aiming for 100 percent clean electricity use by 2025. The Carbon Neutrality Initiative, announced in 2013, pledged UC to be the first major university system to emit net zero greenhouse gases by 2025.
Interfraternity conference announces ban on drinks with high alcohol content
The North-American Interfraternity Conference, or NIC, approved a resolution that will ban hard liquor in chapter houses and at parties in most circumstances, as first reported by the Chronicle of Higher Education. The resolution was approved Aug. 27 at the NIC’s annual meeting and requires that its 66 member fraternities implement the policy by Sept. 1, 2019.
Fashion trends to incorporate into your wardrobe this fall
The beginning of the fall semester not only signifies a time to catch up on your studies and with your friends but also signifies a time to explore the latest fashion trends of the season. After all, shopping for a back-to-school wardrobe counts as school supply shopping … right? Being one of the thousands of students on campus makes it essential to personalize your daily look and add a semblance of style, especially with the weather seeming to only get colder.
