Finally they passed it!

After six weeks of discussion and debate the ASI Senate came to a unanimous decison to pass the Textbook Rental Program and the Campus Safety Initiative.

Assuming the 49er Shops, Inc. outline and organize the program by the spring 2009 semester, CSULB students will be able to rent textbooks for 40 percent of the original cost. Not all textbooks will qualify for rental, professors are required to adopt the same textbook for a minimum of four consecutive semesters in order for the textbook to be eligible.

The unanimous approval of the Campus Safety Initiative requires an annual "Night Walk" where ASI walks through the campus to find any potentially dangerous areas on campus which can be improved. This semester's night walk will happen after Dec. 1, however for upcoming semesters it is required that the walk be done before Dec. 1.

This initiative will also secure additional lighting along Atherton Street, as well as talking into consideration any input on campus safety the students have to share.
