CSUF police leave students all wet
/. Managing Editor
Walking to school hat many advan¬
tages. For one, you don*t have to pay
$22.50 for a car sticker that utes the
strongest adhesive known to modern man.
But there arc disadvantages, also, tuch
as weather. Those of us who walk to
school have to brave rain, fog. mow and
heal. Well, we haven't had to brave mow
lately, but if it did snow, we would.
Thursday morning it wat rain, which in
itself is not to bad. But collectively, such
as in clogged gutters, it't pretty rotten. I
guess if I were "in" to broad jumping I
could jutt look at thote temporary Missis¬
sippi riven at a challenge. But I'm not and

This particular day was an irony. It was
one of those days when the campus police
decided ut 8 a.m. students couldn't cross
Barton Avenue by ourselves. S6 they gave
us a traffic cop. .

Reminding me of old movies set in New
York, the CSUF officer looked official in
hit black jacket and plastic-covered cap.
His hands and arms gracefully directed
cars and tomry students as if the whole of
us couldn't pottibly make it through with¬
out his help.
I have nothing against traffic cops on
campus, and 8 a.m. is pretty bad, with all
those secretaries and various directors
zooming to their parking spaces behind
Joyal. But what 1 think is funny is that
there are some days when we don't need a
cop to manage us.
This isn't my opinion, it's campus
police's, obviously, because some days we
poor pedestrians are left to our own
survival instincts. Dont ask me how, but
some mornings CSUF cops know wc

Despite the rain, it's my personal opin¬
ion that Thursday morning was one of
those days.

cops and staff, we have very little clout.
So at 8 a.m. Thursday there were no
traffic jams caused by herds of students.
Joyal employees all got to their offices and

Love, friendship and devotion adds up
»
Legend has it that a third century Chris¬
tian martyr named Valentinus instilled in
a young blind girl named Julia such a
devotion in God that her belief led her to
appeal to God for the gift of sight.
"Do you know what I pray for-every
night?" said Julia. "I pray that 1 might
Julia and Valentinus sat together, hands
grasped, praying quietly. A brilliant light
suddenly illuminated the cell and Julia
screamed, "Valentinus. I can see!"
On the eve of his death, Valentinus
wrote a note to Julia urging her to streng¬
then her faith in God. He signed it "From
Your Valentine."
Today, Valentine's Day represents Ic
friendship and devotion, and the gifts
given most commonly are cards, candy
and flowers. Unfortunately, these three
items don't come cheap.
"Everything! going up," said Art
Polard, owner of Lynn's Hallmark Shop.
"There isn't a product that hasn't gone up.
It's a fact of life,"
Polard ettimates a price increate of at
least 25 percent and maybe as high as 50
percent for cards. "Actually' the prices
have stayed-the tame." said Polard. "but
the card size has become smaller."
Musical cards, introduced this year, are
fast becoming a favorite among card buy¬
ers. At 57 - g a piece, you can have a card
lhat plays a song everytime it is opened.
Laser Craft cards have also caught
shoppers'eyes. Through the use of a laser

the advantages lie in buying a new one.
He said that a used transmitter would
be cheaper, but because the warranties
have expired on most used transmitters, it
would cost just as much to repair one as to
buy a new one.
KFSR also needs equipment for its
production studio, in addition to new
remote equipment for things such as sports
and news. Mosqueda said the equipment
is also being added to the budget for
approval by the AS Senate, but, he said,
"we have to work out the details before we
approach them."
All ofthe requested items should make
for what Mosqueda calls a "better sound"

But if the old adage "the best way to a

true, ladies, head on .down to a candy,
shop—just don't forget your checkbook.
This won't be cheap either.
Sees, the symbol of quality candy, offers
a wide variety of boxed candies ranging
from $2.35 for a 1/4 lb. heartshaped box
to a whopping $62.50 for a 6 lb. master-

If you are buying for someone who it

should be a floral shop. Again, the prices
of flowers like everything elte, hat paral¬
leled the cost of living hikes. For example,
a dozen red roses will cost from $25 to$60
depending on the quality, size and stem
length. As Valentine's Day fast ap¬
proaches, crowds fill the San Roque floral
shop to the point where "you can't fall
down," said one employee.
Flowers perhaps give you the most flex¬
ibility concerning price. A single baby
rose can be purchased for $1.50 and hand-
carried out. For a minimum of $15 an
arrangement can be assembled and deli¬
vered for an extra $3. Quality, quantity,
size and cos! are the buyer's choice.
