The welcomed chaos of dating
Mayra Sanchez, Opinion Editor
May 8, 2013
Dating has been awkward, frustrating, and lonely at times, but it has also been fun, exciting, and new. I live for those moments of chaos, frantically searching through my room for my lost high heel shoe, while my date waits downstairs, or staying up late texting when I know I have class early in the...

The NFL: the new opiate of the masses.
Sergio Portela, Managing Editor
May 8, 2013
The 2013 NFL Draft took place from Thursday, April 25, to Saturday, April 27,and I watched every minute of it. It could be viewed on two stations, ESPN and NFL Network, and I recorded one and watched the other. I think it’s safe to say that I may have a problem and I might need some help. Why is it...

El Futuro de California
Carlos Guerrero, Assistant Arts & Culture Editor
May 8, 2013
The future of California will be vastly different than what it is now, and I’m not talking about metallic, shiny buildings or flying cars. Those should have been here by now anyway. I’m talking about the color of California, or more specifically, the people. According to Califoniawatch.org, the Latino... Read more »

Someone once said to me that ARC stands for American Russian College. Seems legit? I mean—Sacramento has a Russian diaspora of 4% or so. Walking around campus, I see plenty of compatriots (about one in almost every class I’ve taken here). Russian and Ukrainian are the third and fifth most spoken... Read more »

The cream rises, but the scum rises higher
Korbl Klimecki, Web Editor
April 25, 2013
There is one industry where being terrible at your job seems to be the ticket to the top. Whether video or tabletop, the biggest game companies often seem to have little to no clue what they’re doing. The most recent examples are Blizzard and Electronic Arts, but, if you look father back, even the... Read more »
Being in a love triangle is overrated
Mayra Sanchez, Opinion Editor
April 24, 2013
As if my life isn’t already complicated enough, I have somehow found myself in the middle of a love triangle. After dating a guy for a couple of months, and seriously considering settling down, my ex (as if he has some sort of “Mayra’s happy, let’s go mess it up” radar) contacted... Read more »
So close to Hollywood, yet so far away
Carlos Guerrerro, Assistant Arts and Culture Editor
April 24, 2013
Quick, think of a prominent Mexican actor or star. When George Lopez, who barely counts, comes to mind first, there is an issue. There have been few portrayals of Mexicans in any American pictures and television shows that aren’t blindingly obvious to stereotypes. It’s gone on for years and the underrepresentation...

Domestic EV technology and the Americans working on it make me feel proud of America and glad that it is recovering from the economic downturn. Preparing for the March 13, 2013, issue of The Current, I happened to scroll through the pictures for the story about electric parking. A picture of a car I’ve... Read more »
Rules, they are a-changing
Sergio Portela, Managing Editor
April 24, 2013
Football is a violent game that children, as young as five years old, are playing. Safety is crucial when such young kids participate in football. I don’t think safety regulations should start with the NFL players. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has made some rule changes since becoming the commissioner... Read more »
