It seems the editors at the Daily Cal have decided to wait until Friday to print the oddest collections of stories I've ever seen gathered in one place. We've got Frankenstein running for ASUC President (has not expressed whether he will choose Dracula or the Wolf Man as his running mate), Decreased Sperm Mobility, Toxic Skaters, Fired Teachers, and a Gay Israeli Militarist all on the front page of yesterday's paper. The stories are a refreshing change from the latest non-Berkeley papers: Iraq this, Columbia that.

(I apologize for the lack of active links- the Daily Cal website is down for now, but I'll update this blog later with live links)

Today's Daily Cal reports that the Berkeley lab's cyclotron will be one of the first things cut by our more limited budget this year. The giant cyclotron, which (if I recall correctly) was one of the reasons Ang Lee chose to film scenes from the upcoming Hulk movie at Berkeley, will apparently scatter some of the lab's staff to other countries. The upside is that it will clear room and, assumably, funding for newer and more modern technologies.

If anything in this month's Patriot garners national press (like from Drudge or the like), it will be this shocking story: Anonymous Gay Sex In Berkeley Campus Bathrooms. For anyone wondering how "gloryhole" can be used in a sentence, I highly reccomend reading the article. I wrote a similarly-themed article for the Daily Cal last year, and flashbacks of used condoms hanging on public park tree branches still gives me the willies.
