  • Language hurtful to survivors of abuse
    Thank you for speaking the truth about abuse and what really happens in these patterns. You've spoken well for all of us who are victims of abuse.

  • Pedestrian struck by car near campus
    First of all I know that people are driving way too fast on Golf Club Road. I also know that a lot of students are not paying attention when they cross the street. I watch them texting or talking on their phones while they are standing on the curb then they step out into the street without looking to see if there are any cars coming. Too many students won't take the time to walk to the stop light and cross in the middle of the block. Even at the stop light I see students texting as they are crossing the street totally unaware there is a car about to turn right on to Golf Club or that the light has changed. I am really surprised there haven't been more accidents. Which is more important one stupid message or your life?

  • Editorial - ASDVC flouts the Brown Act
    ASDVC is nothing but a bunch of snooty students given the idea of power. All are frauds as they cheat you on their embark to Berkeley, and very little that are true get to do anything that really helps the students because they are held back. Lindsay is by far the WORST president and a big mistake to all students.

  • Alarms sound, rallying students
    I was at the rally the whole time... It is an absolute lie that it swelled from "about 50 people to nearly 200" when the alarms sounded. If anything, the peak time for the rally was between 11 and 12:30 or so, since people coming out of classes to have lunch in the cafeteria and such saw the rally and joined. Few people came from the fire drill to the rally. Please check your facts and sources, this is quite simply bad reporting.

  • Students pay more, college gets less
    I find that the quote by Governing board President Sheila Grilli to be a little outrageous. With money as tight as it is these days and jobs so hard to find, I believe whole families are paying the brunt of whatever costs the District tries to throw at students. My situation is probably different from most families, but my mom is the only one who is working in my family, and she is the one who pays for insurance, gas, and school expenses, not to mention everything else my family needs. Now parking permits go up, and the district seems to assume that everyone has money to spare, I guess. I parked off campus to avoid paying for parking in Summer and Fall semesters of 2009 because I couldn't afford a parking permit - money was that tight! This semester (SP10) I go to Contra Costa College to save gas money (and did buy a parking permit), but with parking permits going up for Fall semester now, I might contemplate parking off campus again.

    I especially find it crazy that the CCCDistrict decides that now would be a good time to raise parking fees (it sounds like) just to cover an online system for ordering them and a system for using debit cards. Doesn't it make sense that if you need a parking permit, you will be on campus multiple times during the semester, so you'll be able to stop by the bookstore and get one? And I think that nearly everyone would agree to still pay cash at the daily parking pass boxes if it would save them a buck.

    I just find the reasons for the parking increase absurd. The District should hold off on this technology until the recession is well over. Or at least be honest and/or come up with a better excuse for raising parking fees.

  • Music and stories come alive at DVC
    It was a fantastic performance.

    The bands were full of energy, and bursting with talent.

    And the blues was my overall favorite part.

  • Out of Bounds: Suspensions should fit the crime
    I couldn't agree with you more. The NCAA seems to have a whack disciplinary system. Actually, all sports have unfair disciplinary systems. How can a player use steroids in baseball and only be suspended for 50 days, but Pete Rose gets a lifetime ban for gambling on the sport. Seems like the system needs some reworking. Great piece.
