Temporary dining hall inconveniences many students To say visiting the temporary dining hall “Camp Parkside” is an inconvenience is an understatement. Situated in Parking Lot 16, Camp Parkside is a temporary dining facility being used while the Parkside College dining hall undergoes renovations. The Parkside dining hall renovations are due to be finished by Oct. 21, according to Cal State Long ur iew Beach Director of Housing and Residential Life Carol Roberts-Corb. Even though the renovations

however, there is a chance the new Parkside dining hall will not open until November. “That is if all continues to go well — you never know with construction,” Roberts-Corb said. Many residents must be anxious to visit the new Parkside dining hall And we don’t blame them. We can’t say we are impressed, or Although Camp Parkside offers many of the same services as the Hillside College dining hall, its many problems probably deter students from visiting it. As students living on campus know, going to classes and finding time to eat is tough. Previously, the Parkside and Hillside dining halls had different operating hours, meaning if a student could not visit one dining hall during its hours, the other was likely open. Now, the operating hours for Camp Parkside match those of the Hillside dining hall. This means that if one dining hall closes, the student is left without other options. The situation is only worsened by Camp Parkside’s location. The
temporary dining hall sits closer to Hillside than it does to Parkside. It’s also only a few minutes away from Hillside’s dining hall. Camp Parkside not only inconveniences Parkside residents but also all other residents on campus. The temporary dining hall is much smaller than the permanent Parkside dining hall. Since Camp Parkside is the only dining hall open on Sundays, many have to wait in long lines to get their food. Not to mention, Camp Parkside also takes up much-needed park-
ing spaces. As CSULB students continue to struggle with parking on campus, Instead of delaying the opening of the new Parkside dining hall, opening date and stick to it. With their past history of delays, though, we wouldn’t be surprised if the dining hall doesn’t open until next year.
Brazilian president announcement should be welcomed by all The reverberations of former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden’s leaks continue to affect politics around the world. According to The Guardian, Brazilian Presimeeting with President Barack Obama after allegations of the NSA spying. The spying allegations stem from the supposed monitoring of Rousseff’s telephone and emails, according to The Guardian. “Given the proximity of the scheduled state visit to Washington and in the absence of a timely investigation … there aren’t conditions for this trip to be made,” according to a statement from Rousseff. Following Rousseff’s statement, the White House released a statement saying, “[Obama] has said that he understands and regrets the concerns

disclosures of alleged US intelligence activities have generated in Brazil.” If the spying allegations do prove true, then the U.S. should be ashamed of its conduct. Spying on enemies is one thing. Spying on allies is another. Recent spying allegations have only served to worsen the hane U.S. world image. If Obama is to regain momentum in his second term, he should permanently reform the way the NSA operates. If he fails to do so, Obama may go down as a president who only served to continue former President George W. Bush’s controversial policies. According to Russia Times, the NSA vio-
S
lated its privacy policies 2,776 times over the span of a year ending in March 2012. Although the NSA maintained that the violations were related to employee mistakes, it’s still extremely discouraging to see such a high number of violations. As each day passes, more and more is revealed to the ewell American public about the NSA’s controversial policies. Another startling revelation about the NSA was its alleged online encryption hacks, according to The Guardian. Files show “that the NSA and its U.K. counterpart [Government Communication Headquarters] have broadly compromised the guarantees that internet companies have given consumers to reassure them,” according to
n
The Guardian. These controversial policies should prompt citizens to question the actions being taken by the NSA. Moving forward, it is clear that Obama’s success as a president is directly linked to his handling of spying controversies. Rousseff’s decision to postpone a meeting with Obama, pending analysis of spying allegations, should be applauded. As more and more is revealed about the inner workings of the NSA, people should continue to pay attention to the key developments. Although some perceive him to be a traitor, it’s clear that Snowden and his bold actions have prompted a debate that won’t likely end anytime soon.
