Offer a piece of your mind to the Even-Bigger Guy
Worried about the value of your CSU diploma? Concerned that next year you may be paying a technology fee in addition to your tuition? Then don't miss the opportunity to voice these issues to the head of the CSU system, Dr. Charles Reed .Students will be excused from class Tuesday to attend a convocation called by President Gerth. Reed will be speaking to students, faculty and administrators at 1:30 in the University Ballroom. After his speech, Reed is expected to take questions from the audience.
Death of $2 pizza
Waiting until after 2 p.m. for lunch in The Hive is no longer as frugal for students as it once was. Previously, students could pick up their pizzas for $2 once the Union's Round Table shack closed. Now, it is full price all the time. What? Too many people waiting for the price to drop? Why yes, evidently that freshman math class was worth something.
Like a bridge for troubled walkers
When students were spotted using the new pedestrian overpass to campus from the Guy West Bridge, we assumed the obvious. Of course, the overpass must be open for use. But to actually confirm the obvious, QuickBits had to do a lot of legwork to find out the official status. After trekking from the ramp to the construction trailer near the old recycling center, we were informed that da man, Howard Harris, associate veep of facilities was the only fellow who could referee the overpass status. But Harris was out of the office for the week. As such, QuickBits is going out on limb and assuming since the old ramp was torn out Friday, that the overpass is open. Howard?
Should you leave home without it?
The university issues American Express cards to employees for their corporate expenses, yet, surprise, surprise, the University Center, the Bookstore and the admissions office do not take American Express.So don't leave home without it, but don't try and use it here.
Alas, poor Civic
Fulfilling that WPE might have cost some students a bit extra in the form of a parking tax Saturday. Evidently, some of the test takers went without their essential permits in Lot 2. University Transportation and Parking Services replied by ticketing across the lot.QuickBits offers the straight words of UTAPS manager Nancy Fox to answer permit questions.
"We have what we fondly call the after 4:30 rule," she said.
After 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, all day on weekends, and during intersessions, parking is open to any permit, any spot except handicapped. The catch is, you do have to buy the permit.
But at least, those appeal essays should be well written.
