In its meeting Wednesday morning, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) will determine the fate of free on-street parking in Isla Vista. Following an appeal filed by the Santa Barbara chapter of the Surfrider Foundation in December 2004, the CCC has revised the Santa Barbara County planning agency's proposal for a parking permit plan in I.V. to increase the amount of free coastal access that would be available once the plan is implemented.

A.S. Election Endorsements: A.S. President
Tuesday, April 12, 2005
And then there were... none. The Nexus editorial board did not reach a consensus on its endorsement for A.S. president. Though Bill Shiebler brings his valuable experience as A.S. Finance Board chair and a good deal of competence to the table, we could not get past the fact that his agenda includes two major proposals we are quick to strongly oppose: a queer general education requirement and a Finance Board lock-in fee.

Tuesday, April 12, 2005
Adam Graff once wrote an opinion column claiming the "honeymoon" between him and the Nexus was over. Oh Adam, we never stopped loving you. You're even cuter when you're mad.

Tuesday, April 12, 2005
Last year, Felicia Cruz told us she would take the train up to Sacramento, Calif. to save on A.S. travel expenses while representing UCSB students in statewide affairs.

A.S. Fee Initiatives
Tuesday, April 12, 2005
In theory, the A.S. Student Lobby initiative is a great idea. You know, giving students a voice and all that jazz. In reality, however, the group does not have enough power to make a significant difference on the state level, and definitely not enough power to warrant all students paying an extra 69 cents per quarter.
