Nine weeks into the quarter, and we’ve received one letter to the editor, a correction of our photo spread of the Euphrat’s “Justice for All?” exhibit. With this unfortunate fact, I can only assume that La Voz has done zero things worth criticizing or commending. We’re not a faceless co...
Editorial: DASB Senate presidential candidates currently lack strategy necessary to best serve student body
Yane An and Neil McClintick
February 26, 2017
Filed under Editorial, Opinions, Showcase, Staff
The purpose of this editorial is not to discourage students from voting; La Voz strongly believes in the necessity of engaging students on campus and boosting turnout. **** The Feb. 23 DASB Senate presidential debate hosted by De Anza’s Political Revolution club was a success in terms of revealing h...
Dem enter, not #demexit: The young left must infiltrate, not reject, the Democratic Party
Neil Mcclintick, Opinions Editor

The Democratic Party’s donkey is a beyond senile, one-legged donkey with several incurable, fatal diseases. Yet, the pro-Sanders left, after being overruled by the party elite, loses little sleep as the blue continuously dims. While much of the youth now collectively rejects party politics, the collapse...

Editorial: DASB senators-elect denied due process by current senate
La Voz Staff
March 12, 2016
Filed under Editorial, Opinions, Showcase
The DASB Senate’s election complaints process and appeals lack both fairness and due process. The senate must follow its own rules and provide a just system for addressing election complaints and punishments. The recent election code violation hearings should never have taken place because the groups...

La Voz is making a change this quarter from a weekly print newspaper with a website, to a news website with a biweekly (every other week) print newspaper. The change is to reflect real- world news organizations that publish news digitally first, and to better prepare journalism students for ...
Texas gun law bad for universities
Editorial Board
June 8, 2015
Filed under Editorial, Opinions
Texas has continued it’s habit of passing ridiculous laws that defy common sense by approving a law that would allow people, students and faculty included, to bring concealed handguns on to University of Texas campuses. This is a god-awful idea. The reasoning behind the law is if the good guys...

La Voz Editorial Board
May 20, 2015
Filed under Editorial, Opinions
Once again, just like every spring, DASB Senate elections are coming and it’s unclear exactly what each candidate stands for or what he/she wants to accomplish. Yet somehow students are still expected to vote. With no way to make an informed decision, the elections are little more than a popularity...
DASB president attacks fellow senator

Filed under Editorial, Opinions
The proposed Baylands festival is too ambitious and will consume too much of the budget that should be used on other projects. Moreover, the arguments are getting far too personal. The initial proposal for the festival asked for $25,000 with $13,000 set aside for security costs. This budget is far...
Editorial: Sensible drug reform needed
La Voz Editorial Board
November 3, 2014
Filed under Editorial, Opinions
No matter how you vote on the other propositions Nov. 4, vote yes on Proposition 47. This is the drug and other non-violent crime reform that California desperately needs. It helps rehabilitate people convicted of personal drug use and other non-violent offenses, as long as the offender does not...
