There was once a time when UCR students couldn’t even elect their own student body president. Only senators were directly elected, and those senators selected the president from amongst themselves. Furthermore, senators had the final say on everything—there was no external balance to ensure that the votes were properly taken. The very structure of the student government lent itself...
When UCR announced its intention to build a sports complex called the C-Center, it was a step in the right direction. Not only would the stadium house upwards of 6,000 people, but it would also allow businesses to rent out space in the facility, and would be accompanied by an adjacent parking structure to help facilitate the increase in...
Thanks to the tireless efforts of the UC system, UCR students’ health care premiums are going up.
During the 2010-2011 academic year, UCOP took it upon itself to implement a UC-wide health insurance program that individual campuses could opt into called UC SHIP (Student Health Insurance Program). The reasoning behind this decision seemed straightforward enough: the UC system would keep...
This week students get to have their say over who represents them on the ASUCR Senate. The decisions we make can have huge implications over the way our student fees are allocated, how we’re reflected as a student body on and off campus, and what changes are made to general student life. For these reasons, the decision of who...

California voters approved Proposition 65 in 1986, which requires businesses to...

These were the words that began the first broadcast ever transmitted by KUCR, UCR’s very own radio station. The year was 1966.
In the nearly 50 years KUCR has been on the air, it has had a storied history. Its broadcasts provide...
Now that Heat has concluded, we UCR students are coming down from our Porter Robinson-induced highs and settling back down into the mundane realities of UCR life. For us, this means that it is almost the end of winter quarter, with only a couple of weeks standing in between us and long-awaited Spring Break.
It is this time of the...
The secret is out. Or at least, everybody’s sex secrets are.
Thanks to UCR Hookups, a Facebook page that allows people to anonymously submit their private sexual escapades and voyeuristic yearnings, everybody is getting a first-hand look into the details of the UCR community’s sex lives.
The stated purpose of the group is to be “a place to post your sexcapades,...
We are becoming more reliant on the Internet than ever before. The frustration and annoyance that students experienced from iLearn going offline for a mere seven hours is testament enough to that. But it’s not just college students who are trading in the scritch of a pen on paper for the clicking of a keyboard—it’s everyone. Businesses can now...
Reclining on a bed clad in a black sequin dress, a woman pulls black stockings over her feet as the camera gives an ample shot of her brown thigh. Giving a sultry look to the camera, she lets her jet-black, long, silky hair down as she saunters to a mirror, applying crimson lipstick to luscious lips and allowing the...
