When the beautiful and sweet Hornet columnist Christine Brownell featured an expose on Sacramento State student/exotic dancer Tracy Hansen?s lifestyle, a quote from a feminist icon came to mind: “For men, liberation may be taking their clothes off; for women it?s not having to take our clothes off.” Hansen should take note. Granted, there were a few “other” thoughts that came to mind when I read about Hansen. But despite how jaw-dropping candid Hansen was about her life, I applaud her frankness and was amused by her naivete.

?You can get an idea of who?s a freshman on campus by seeing how large a group they travel in. Add to the fact that they all dress the same is another indicator of what class people are in. They?ll grow out of it (we hope?).

?Where in the world is Charles Roberts? Too bad that your fabulous season is over. I miss reading the love affair the guys in the sports section of The State Hornet had with you.

?Who cares if President George W. Bush can do the cha-cha? The media needs to seriously stop marrying the entertainment industry and politics. Politicians should be feared or revered. And despite how many appearances Georgie makes on the Tonight Show or SNL, I live in fear because I have an uterus and believe that the President shouldn?t try to establish a legitimacy of one religion over all others. Didn?t our founding fathers state that in the Constitution?

?Speaking of the presidency, I swear that Donald Gerth is like the Wizard of Oz at his own university. His influence is deeply felt on campus yet very few students in Sacramento State Land have seen him. Orientation does not count. Hmm?how can a man know what is best for students when (a) it?s been so long since he was one and (b) he?s a bit out of touch, buried in work I’m sure.And how come he is immune to four-year elections?Something?s not right here.

?Did you know that most if not all jobs in our library start at minimum wage and despite how hard you work, you?ll only get a 15 cent raise after 300 hours ? which is 3.75 months if you work 20 hours a week. So unless someone else is paying for your education ? or you don?t care about living on peanuts ? a job at our library is the job for you.

?You can tell when a professor is new to the teaching thing. They?re the ones that pile you in heaps of homework and seemingly forget you have other classes and a part-time job to boot. They?re also the ones that are unconvincingly supportive when you voice what your goals are. But the easiest way to detect new and fresh professors is by how they look; they?re the ones that are dressed up all the time.

?Boy band O-town cancelled their stint at Sac State. Why oh why has God forsaken me? I was so looking forward to waving a glow stick and booty grinding while singing the pop group’s hit song, “Liquid Dream.”

?Caution: in a stage 3 power alert elevators may cease to operate without warning. Uh, I think I’ll take the stairs.
