Guess what!

Another Calstuff exclusive! Guaranteed to be on the front page of the Daily Cal tomorrow morning.

UPDATE: It's on the front page, all right.. in the bottom-left corner. This boring, possibly libelous story on stupid frat boys is the lead. Stanley Kurtz of the National Review has already slammed the journalistic priorities demonstrated.

I mentioned yesterday that the new Cal Patriot was out, featuring my article on the ASUC. There were two controversial articles: an article on MECHA, the semi-nationalist Latino group on campus, and one on ISO/Anti-War, which I've already posted here. I've never read the MECHA one, because I couldn't get ahold of a copy today. I'm sure it's as firebrand Republican-y as anything the Patriot has ever written.

Reason being, last night someone broke into the Patriot's Office on the third floor of Eshleman Hall and stole the entire print run. Not just a simple walk-in, walk-out theft, either. The door was locked.

Right now 9/10's of the Republicans on campus are on Sproul plaza, fuming about it. To add insult to their injury, someone wrote a parody screed about Republicans and flyered campus with it.

Executive VP Justin Christensen didn't find out about the break in until I told him, in another triumph for Eshleman Security.

Has to be MECHA who engineered it. One of their members apparently asked Patriot Editor KG where the Patriot office was, after all. In addition, they're on almost the same floor as the Patriot-eers. Motive, opportunity, and probably means. The better question is: who else knew about it? All these ethnic organizations are surprisingly tight-knit, and I'm sure many of them know who was planning it.

Some of Eshleman has security cameras, so perhaps we'll get to see some faces, too.

Ready for some rough and tumble controversy with the jerk Leftist types as the bad guys? I know I am!

Yo!
