The Editorial Board’s book recommendations for summer
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD

As we try to make it through the summer heat, the time for reading for leisure is upon us. The Editorial Board has provided you with a comprehensive list of book recommendations for this time between quarters — from romantic comedies to literary fiction to self-help, we have the genres for you.

Alyssa Crevoiserat, Editor-in-Chief: “One Golden Summer”

While I may be contributing to an over-abundance of romance books on this list, I feel duty bound to recommend one of my favorite warm-weather books: “One Golden Summer” by Carley Fortune.

Maya Kornyeyeva, Managing Editor: “Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life”

I found “Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life” on a rainy autumn morning, nestled on the shelf of a quaint bookshop in my hometown.

Linguistics Club offers discovery and community for students inside and outside the major

From professional lectures to movie nights, one of the newest clubs on campus offers students a chance to explore linguistics in a casual environment

If you’re studying linguistics, or are simply curious about the science and structure of languages, you might be interested in one of UC Davis’ newest clubs.
Having just started earlier this academic year, Linguistics Club is a student-run, community-oriented space where members can form connections with their peers and professionals in the Linguistics Department.

The original inspiration for Linguistics Club stemmed from the co-presidents’ worry that the small size of the linguistics major at UC Davis would prevent them from meeting friends with similar academic passions.

As a first-year, Co-President Celia Farrell, a second-year linguistics and psychology double major, dreamed up the club as a space for linguistics students and those passionate about the subject to connect with one another.

Situated in the oldest facility on the UC Davis campus, the Animal Sciences Horse Barn has been home to a large community of students caring for, training and selling horses.

Managed by Barn Manager and UC Davis alumna Kelli Davis, the horse barn functions as both a breeding facility and an educational resource for the student community.
Typically the location for any laboratory sections of animal science courses, the barn has continued to be open to all majors to learn about and participate in the care of the horses, mules and donkeys living there.

For Davis, a key factor of the horse barn’s importance rests in its accessibility to the equine world.

‘Let them eat Coachella’: tone-deaf celebrity and influencer culture

The widespread ecosystem of catered advertisements and trends in the media largely comes from celebrity and influencer culture, according to Forbes.
Amidst the influencer and celebrity universe of brand deals and paid, pushed microtrends, there have been numerous moments where content creators have made out-of-touch statements, colloquially known as “let them eat cake” moments.

Although many believe that the statement “let them eat cake” was famously said by Queen Marie-Antoinette after being told that her starving peasants could not afford bread, Julia Simon, a professor of French at UC Davis, detailed that its true origins are not from the French Revolution — rather, the quote may have been from a previous queen.

“Regardless of whether or not Marie-Antoinette said, ‘let them eat cake,’ which she probably did not, the truth is that she was probably one of the first [...] kind of influencer[s],” Goldstein said.

Between 2017 and 2018, the UC Davis Housing Affordability and Insecurity Report indicated that 18% of all Davis students experienced some form of homelessness or housing insecurity within that year.

Among those often underrepresented are students who commute up to three hours a day to campus and students who live in their cars.

Bearing this in mind, All4Yolo, a registered student organization (RSO) and nonprofit, spearheaded an initiative to establish UC Davis’ first ever student-only safe parking program starting fall quarter 2026.

ASUCD Internal Vice President Dhilena Wickramasinghe, a fourth-year sociology major, has spent the past three years serving in multiple sectors of the Association and is now coming to the end of both her undergraduate career and time in student government.

Below is a transcript of Wickramasinghe’s interview with The California Aggie, edited for length and clarity.
Q: In two weeks from now it will be the last Senate meeting of the school year. How are you feeling about the Association and its accomplishments this year?
Wickramasinghe: I would say I’m feeling pretty good. [..]

I tried to foster a more positive environment for the table.
I did this through not really getting involved in any of the Senate politics this year.

On Dec. 10, 2024, UC Davis Athletics and the Mountain West Conference announced that UC Davis would be moving from the Big West Conference to the Mountain West Conference effective July 1, 2026.

All sports sponsored by the Mountain West will be moving except for football, which will remain in the Big Sky Conference.

Water polo and beach volleyball are not sponsored by the Mountain West, so these teams will remain in the Big West as affiliate members.

Equestrian, field hockey and lacrosse do not currently compete in the Big West and will not move to the Mountain West; instead, they will stay in their respective conferences.

The Aggies have been a member of the Big West since 2007, when they moved from the Division II level to Division I.

When reports of a juvenile black bear wandering through the UC Davis campus began circulating among students, reactions ranged from excitement to confusion.

An Aggie Alert issued shortly after midnight on May 15 warned students not to approach the animal after it was seen moving through West Village, Segundo and Primero residence areas, as well as near the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) before eventually leaving campus through the Student Farm area.

The bear was believed to be a juvenile in search of its own territory after being separated from its mother, according to UC Davis police and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
