CSULB Housing should avoid overbooking in dorms If you think having one roommate was bad enough, think again. According to Director of Cal State Long Beach Housing and Residential Life Carol RobertsCorb, approximately 100 rooms in Beachside College have been modified to accomodate three people. The rooms ur iew were modified to address increased housing demand. In order to fit the 100 additional students, officials added an extra bed and desk to each of the rooms. One of our major concerns about the Beachside College dorm situation is that residents were

O

roommates until the second or third week of August. In addition, we are shocked that ing Beachside residents incentives like a $275 Beach Club card to cancel their housing contracts. The incentives offered to students who canceled their contracts — which included a free parking pass and priority status for future on-campus housing — signaled that Housing and Residential Life was desperate to make room for students. Roberts-Corb said the Beachside College situation is not “the norm” and that oftentimes students cancel their housing contracts during the summer months. Regardless, we think students should have been notified earlier that they would certainly have two roommates. We are also surprised that approximately 100 rooms were affected by this change. In fairness, however, students in the triple-occupancy dorms

received a 13 percent discount on their room rates, according to an email sent to Beachside residents from Housing and Residential Life. Even with the discount, the uncomfortable living situation in Beachside College could cause friction. Moving into the dorms and learning to build relationships with new roommates is already hard enough. Adding a third person to the mix could make the situation worse. If CSULB Housing and Residential Life knew beforehand of a likelihood that there would be even more competition for dorming

We hope this will not be part of a future trend where Housing and Residential Life officials regularly assign three students to a room. Overbooking and persuading students to cancel their housing agreements should not become standard procedure for CSULB Housing and Residential Life. We hope the students living in the triple-occupancy dorms will not be severely affected. No discount can make people get along better.

Anniversary of 1973 Chilean coup should prompt reflection Sept. 11, 1973, is a date that lives on in the minds of many Chileans. Forty years ago today, then-Chilean Gen. Augusto Pinochet led a military coup that was staged against then-President Salvador Allende, according to the BBC. The coup occurred due to the massive unpopularity of Allende, who was elected as president in 1970 with only 36 percent of the vote, according to the BBC.

promoting a free-market economic system, according to ABC News. In addition, Pinochet banned political parties and closed the Chilean Congress. Under his rule, more than 40,000 Chileans were killed, tortured or imprisoned, according to ABC News. Although it has been more hane than 20 years since Pinochet ruled, many Chileans still feel resentment towards the controversial leader. According to the BBC, approximately 55

Although Sept. 11 has taken on a new meaning following the 2001 terrorist attacks, citizens of the world should still remember what transpired in Chile. In order to make better decisions for the future, one must look at the mistakes from the past. This has never been more true.

“If there’s not enough room, it could get a little bit overhwelming.”

“That sucks. I had no idea! [The school] should remedy it. Three to a room is kind of pushing it, unless they are paying less.”

“I live in Beachside and only have one roommate. It would be too crammed to have three in a room, especially if they’re girls because they have a lot of stuff.”

“It depends how big [the rooms] are ... I think they just want more money.”
