Laundry, Not In Service

"I have no more clean clothes, I have to start wearing sweaters with nothing underneath to my classes," comments, Matthew Frezza, freshman and resident of Residence C.

It has been over a week, and residents in Residence C are frustrated with not being able to do their laundry for more than a week. The washer broke and has not been repaired since. Residents have taken it upon themselves to do their laundry in Parkside, since Parkside is supplied with more washers and dryers for their larger population of residents.

Residence C is supplied with only one washer and dryer because it is considered a "half building", there are only four suites in the entire building. This being, all residents have to share the one washer and dryer. Residents are still waiting for their washer to be fixed to resume doing their necessities.

October Fun

For students living on campus, the month of October will be filled with a lot of events to keep their mind off midterms.

As Halloween approaches, residents will be able to experience the "Haunted Hallway" at Resident Learning College, the new off-campus housing. The Haunted Hallway will take place on the 29th from 8pm to 10:30pm and will take place on the third floor, which is currently vacant.

Other events that are taking place in the month of October include: Free Painting Extravaganza on the 20th located in the Residence Dining Halls; Make Your Own Sushi on the 22nd in Parkside Dining Hall from 5-7pm. Make sure you sign up early before spaces are full, these events are free of charge and refreshments and snacks will be provided.

Undie Run, Bust or Success?

Victoria Cisneros, friend and participant of the Undie Run, calls me the day after the event worried, "Ivan, untag everyone in the pictures you uploaded on Facebook and make the album private. People are getting in trouble and getting sent to Judicial Affairs."

The Undie Run felt like a success, but the morning after students were being blamed for the event. "Basically, one of my floormates was restrained by campus police while running, took down all his information and proceeded to blame the whole situation on him. When my floormate asked if he was in trouble, the police refrained from responding and simply stated that he may have to speak to the court of Judicial Affairs," commented Rion Angeles, one of the students who helped organize the event.

At the night of the event, two police cars were near Lot 14 and followed the participants all the way to the Library. Students were concerned that the police was going to "crash" the event and tell them to go back to their dorms. Students successfully ran, but no one knew that students would be questioned as to who organized the event. No further news has been reported of students speaking to Judicial Affairs or of any repercussions.

Undie Run 2009

Tuesday night, more than 60 student residents participated in what is known as an "Undie Run". Students gathered around 7:15 p.m. in Lot 14, by Parkside Commons, and anxiously waited in their under garments.

Rion Angeles, student and one of the people who helped organize the event, mentioned, "The purpose of Undie Run is to create a sense of community for those living on campus, especially since this CSU is known to be a commuter school."

Being a participant myself, I saw that students were really excited to participate and cheered each other on every time a brave soul stepped up and decided to join. The run went from Parkside Commons all the way to the Library and ended back into Lot 16 to take pictures.

Angeles, commented that the event was a success but that he expected more people, "If this campus had a larger on campus community, I'm sure the event would [have more participants] and would [eventually] turn into an annual ritual."
