Proposition 87 a Must for California Economy
Dear Editor,
We need Proposition 87. As fossil fuels burn, they cause global warming that threatens our coastal cities, preventable diseases like asthma and America’s debt to China to pile up as we borrow more to buy oil.
Proposition 87 will cost voters nothing, yet it will ensure cleaner, cheaper, healthier fuel for us all. The stone age didn’t end because they ran out of stones; the oil age won’t end because we run out of oil.
On Nov. 7, the future of our economy, our health and our environment rests in the hands of California voters. Vote to empower yourself. You can make a difference. Don’t be fooled by the empty talk of oil company ads. Support Proposition 87! For more information, go to http://www.yeson87.com.

Pick-A-Prof Services Free of Charge
Dear Editor,
An article published in the Guardian on Oct. 23 quoted campus administrators as stating that Pick-A-Prof charges a fee for its academic services, when in fact all of its tools are available free, without any cost to the students or faculty on campus.
At www.pickaprof.com you can see how many As through Fs your professor gives, read student reviews about how to do well in a course, see which classes your Facebook friends are taking, buy and sell textbooks with other UCSD students and more — all for free.
Some campus officials may not want you to use these free services, but over a million students across the United States can’t be wrong. Though Pick-A-Prof may be new at UCSD, it won’t be long before students find out for themselves that www.pickaprof.com has the most comprehensive information about professors and courses all in one place, free.
