Leaving the ASI Senate behind

While the ASI Senate postpones the Textbook Rental Program again, the campus bookstore and University Library push forward with implementing the program.

The flyer above was given out to CSULB professors last week inviting them to "adopt the same textbook for four consecutive semester" and save students 60 percent of textbook costs.

Although the approval from the Senate is the "politically correct" thing to do, ASI Vice President Chris Chavez explains, it is not required before putting the program into action. Next Wednesday's meeting maybe bring a final vote on the program from the Senate.

The Clean Beach Initiative was passed by the Senate on Wednesday. As a result the university will be required to abide by a number of new policies. The most important of which requires that all future construction meet, at minimum, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver Certification.

A committee will be formed to draw up new environmental policies and present them at future ASI Senate meetings.
