BIKES
Continued from page 1
"People don't want to park in huge
areas," he said. "It's easier to rip a bike
off. More 8tudents~park out in open
areas where they can see if bikes are
being tampered with.
Todd added that parking bikes in¬
appropriately puts wheelchair students
at a disadvantage.
With biking being a problem on cam¬
pus, some handicapped students
have been hit, including one coed who
wishes to be unidentified. She was
walking from the New Science Build-
ng when a cyclist approached her from
behind . The cyclist let her presence be
known but didn't say which way she
was going. When the student moved to
■ Thundoy. October 1.1987-
the left, she was hit in theback.
Tve been irritated about this situ¬
ation for along time," she said. "I
eventually knew this (getting hit)
would ^happen. Tve had a lot of near
misses. There was plenty of grass off to
the side and the girl could have gone
around me."
Another incident involving a college
student happened at San Jose State
recently where a student was hit and
paralyzed by a cyclist
One wheelchair student, Rafael Ibar¬
ra, said he has never really had any
problems with cyclists, except when
they park their bikes illegally near
handicapped entrances.
"Sometimes, near the Joyal Building,
bikes are parked by the ramps ana it
can make it difficult for people. Not
i really for me, though, because I'm little
more mobile."
According to Ibarra, bikes are also
-Page 5-
parked by the ramps in the back of the
South Gym and often get in the way.
He sees this as a problem to the wheel¬
chair students. He also said that it can
be a hindrance in the free speech area
when traffic is congested.
"That area is clearly marked no bikes
and people should be a little more
courteous and cautious,* he said. " —
Other students, such as Dan Richie
and Mark Haggard, felt it wasn't a
major problem but did express
"Once in a while it bothers me be¬
cause you get bikes coming at you and
you don't knew which way to go,"
Richie said.
"As long as they don't run me down,
everything is okay," Haggard said "It
can be tough to dodge them, but it's
nothing major."
According to Reilly. the problem
arises from semester to semester, but
usually works itself out
"Once we initiate a program and
■everyone gets in tune with the situ¬
ation, it smooths out," he said. -■—
However, Todd said that other
measures have to be taken to improve
the situation. He hopes that students
will start saying things to cyclists. He
also looks-fer-frotornitioo and sororities -
to get involved as well.
"We need better campus awareness,"
he said "We can't have the (campus)
police running around ticketing every¬
one, that is not appropriate. It's not an
image or role that they want to accept
"Changes come from within and we
need the student government and other
organizations to be part of a self-
regulating program."
"Students must be role models for
other students," he said. "They must be
ready to tell students when they're
being inappropriate."

outsmarted. Through careful planning
and devout inaction you have
managed to wade through the morass
of conflicting ideas, philosophies, ethics
and mores and retain your single-

But, while you're reading, here's a
nightmare.
Suppose, somehow, enlightenment
crept in. On your way downtown to go
thrift shopping with your daddy's Gold
Card you stop at an intersection. There,
blatantly plastered to a telephone pole
is the message: Stop CIA covert action
in Nicaragua!
Your eyes glaze. Your head roars.
You twist in your seat but you can't
shake it What is covert action? Who
are the CIA? Where in the hell is
Nicaragua? Suddenly you need to
know. You're interested!
Don't panic. Years of philosophical

But you can't be too careful. No, it's
