Unfortunately I had some bad luck finding bumper stickers that were word rather than picture based but since we're learning about how everything is writing, pictures did the job just fine. I walked around the parking lot of Ram's village (where I currently live) and around the parking lot of Durward Hall. What I saw was a lot of bumper stickers related to Colorado or stickers of CSU's logo. It was comforting to see so many people who shared the same pride in CSU as I do. Another common sticker I saw was stickers people had of their home towns or states. Being about as out of state as it gets, I felt a strong sense of community from all the bumper stickers from around the country. It isn't something I typically experience. Coming from Hawaii I have a need for a community type setting, and seeing the support shown for people from all these different states represented in a couple of parking lots assured me that my decision to come to Colorado was the right decision.

In his "Open Letter to Chancellor Linda P. B. Katehi," Nathan Brown argues that Chancellor Katehi is the biggest threat to student safety at UC Davis and because of this, Nathan demands her immediate resignation. Mr. Brown starts by detailing the scene that unfolded as peaceful protestors on the UC Davis campus were unjustly attacked by police, called to the scene by Chancellor Katehi, wielding batons and pepper spray. Brown continues by highlighting the fact that the students and faculty who were injured and arrested were undoubtedly within their legal rights. So, because of this, Chancellor Katehi must resign because she is unfit to properly protect her students and faculty.
