Fees for attending UC Davis, as well as the other UCs, have more than tripled in the past 10 years, from $4,765 in 2002-03 to $15,123 in 2011-12. The CSUs have seen a comparable increase. The regents, trustees and our state government seem unwilling or unable to reverse these disturbing numbers; however, some high school … Continue Reading
Kudos for your excellent coverage of our city’s celebration of the national Martin Luther King Day. Keynote speaker Lecia Brooks emphasized that this national holiday is the only one commemorating a nongovernmental individual. She demonstrated, with evidence from the Southern Poverty Law Center, that the Rev. King’s properly elevating the value of individual conscience and nonviolent civil disobedience in the … Continue Reading
I would just like to thank and applaud Rich Rifkin (and The Davis Enterprise), for his excellent column, “Where’s Our Student Outrage Now?” in the Jan. 18 edition. Rifkin brought up issues and questions of great importance, yet rarely addressed. Again, thank you very much for the strength and scope of your insights. Ralph Libet … Continue Reading
Davis Diamonds gymnastics wants to take over a vacant car dealership that is surrounded by other empty former car lots. The city is afraid Davis Diamonds might prevent some potential car dealer in the future? There are too many car dealerships now.

Davis Diamonds provides valued extracurricular activities … Continue Reading
I was disappointed to read about the Planning Commission’s denial of the Davis Diamonds’ application for a conditional use permit and was especially sad to read that the commission’s decision may force this local business to Dixon. The conditional use permit would have allowed Davis Diamonds to move into a former car dealership — a … Continue Reading

More likely, he doesn’t want to, as his op-ed meanders quickly into an attempt to portray UC Berkeley student opposition to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories as anti-Semitism. He does this by citing … Continue Reading
Dear Annie: My pregnant granddaughter smokes. She has switched to electronic cigarettes, telling her husband that these are completely safe and will not affect the baby in any way. She also claims there is no danger of secondhand smoke. I say if you are sucking into your lungs any vapor with nicotine, it will affect … Continue Reading
Dear Annie: Six months ago, I was fired for stealing from my job. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone, so I lied — to my parents, my friends, everybody. I told them I quit so I could go back to school. Then I lost my house because I didn’t have the money to pay … Continue Reading
