Cash: The Finals Frontier
We’re getting down to the end of another semester, which means … well, it means a lot of things. It means I’ll be graduating in about two weeks. It means that once again we have to take finals and, most importantly, it means that it’s time for my semesterly finances of finals column.

ASUC Affairs
Reassess Budget Goals
The ASUC Senate’s annual spring budget meeting is always expected to be a long and drawn-out session—a gathering where a seemingly boundless number of student groups and causes compete for a disappointingly limited amount of funds. What it is never intended to be, however, is a misguided departure from the actual needs of the campus. Unfortunately, the events of last Wednesday night (and early Thursday morning), made the distribution of funds seem like just that.

Clarifications
Thursday’s article “Proposed Rent Increases at Bear’s Lair Worry Some Vendors” may have implied that businesses in the Bear’s Lair are directly subsidized by student fees. The food court is only indirectly subsidized by student fees because ASUC funds are used to fill any revenue shortfalls.

Corrections
Thursday’s article “Proposed Rent Increases at Bear’s Lair Worry Some Vendors” stated that Panda Express has recently expressed interest in opening a location in the Bear’s Lair food court. In fact, Panda Express has shown interest in working with the ASUC, not to the food court specifically.

Bears Face Navy for Fifth-Straight Year
The Cal rugby squad and its Naval Academy counterpart have squared off in each of the last four postseasons. That would make for one great collegiate rugby rivalry, if only the Midshipmen had ever been able to steal one from the Bears.

Cal Heads South to Face Sizzling UCLA
Nobody picked the UCLA baseball team to have the kind of success it has had through the first month of the Pac-10 season. The Bruins placed fourth in the preseason conference coaches poll, and garnered no first-place votes.
