Letters to the Editor
Collegian editorial misplaces blame
This is regarding the fifth grade level editorial on the Psychology &
Human Services building remodel.
It is interesting how simply you have destroyed the many years of hard
work of many people on campus to obtain the funds to bring this much needed
project to reality. We don’t get funds for project simply because
we ask for it.
Maybe you should do some research about the facts rather than reading
a report a half-hour before your deadline. Please check on state and federal
guidelines, and stop by the Office of Environment Health & Safety
on campus to get your facts and information.
This was real “X-file” reporting. We have better things to
do than turn the lives of everyone on campus upside down to “address
the health hazards.” If you want to look at a real health hazard,
just look around the campus at people walking/driving and talking on cell
phones.
This the opinion of one man who worked during the holidays to move everyone
out of the building and who walks and works in many buildings similar
to the PHS building.
Wish you the best. You have shown you have a place in the reporting world
by stating half of the facts and having no real point in your editorial.

Construction makes campus unsafe
It’s a great day in the realm of higher education when we can walk
between metal fencing decorated with vibrant yellow “CAUTION”
tape. Try walking under a multitude of dangling wires and exposed beams
that open up to a corridor where we are greeted by a welder above our
heads, sprinkling millions of live sparks that fall like rain in our path.
Oh, but if the wonderful men have time they will began a concerto of whistles
and derogatory comments to signal their co-worker to stop for a moment
as you pass by.
All this beauty to be able to consult with faculty and have to repeat
yourself several times as the chorus of cranes, drills, saws and grinders
overpowers your own voice.
What more can we wish for in our last semester at CSUF! President Welty,
I am being sarcastic….How DARE YOU place the student body, faculty,
staff and construction workers in such DANGER!!!
