Election signs toppled

Studentcrats’ campaign signs were knocked down March 27, said Curtis Grima, Studentcrats presidential candidate.

“We cannot make any accusations, but wind doesn’t appear to have done this. We’ve used this same system before with no problems,” Grima said.

Ten of 14 signs located behind the Library next to Amador Hall were not in their intended positions.

“If these signs get rained on, they will be ruined,” Grima said.

The signs, which were being held up by metal stakes and secured using zip ties, were put up Sunday night by Studentcrats’ workers.

“It’s unfortunate that we have to be out here again. I’m having to miss class right now,” Grima said, while hammering a metal stake to fix one of the many knocked down signs.

Grima said he reported the incident to the University Police Department the same night he discovered the knocked down signs.

Sgt. Kelly Clark was unavailable for comment as of Monday afternoon.

ASI’s new logo will be unveiled tomorrow in the University Union’s Redwood Room. The event will be held from noon to 1 p.m. followed by the first annual State of the Students address.

As part of Alumni Month, a number of former ASI presidents are expected to attend.

The State of the Students address will be given by ASI President Angel Barajas and will discuss current issues of ASI. Sac State President Alexander Gonzalez will open the event.

Parking Structure III

Legislation declaring ASI’s position on having Parking Structure III be -student-only parking was postponed to assess the issue of allocating student daily spaces.

Updated legislation will be voted on during the April 19 board meeting.

President Barajas said he expects the legislation to pass unanimously.
