To RossF whoever you are:
This is from the UCAB

It explains their concern of ratio of food to alcohol.
The statement that the UCAB and its meetings are secretive is from Josh Kenchel who was at AS meetings and who is now a UCSD grad student who follows the plight of the co-ops because that was his function when he was on the AS last year. Tell us, RossF, who are you and how do you know anything about this?
I sent an email to UCAB and never heard anything back. I would still like to hear from them. Since you might have some connection, how about you tell them we would still like to hear from them. UCAB like the AS President like Ratcliff did not bother to respond in any way. This conversation you are beginning is surely constructive, but its too bad the people who matter did not engage as you have done anonymously.
RossF, your comments are interesting. Why be anonymous?
Thank you

Hey RossF: I was quoting from someone who was at a lot of high powered UC meetings. Were you? Please help us understand your interest and your role. I wonder at what point the UC Board of Regents gets involved. Maybe it is the right thing for the UCSD administration to snuff out both the Che and Porters as they have existed for 34 and 23 years, respectively. And maybe it is just a coincidence these two axings are happening at the same time. But I doubt this clandestine, behind-the-scenes maneuvering would be looked upon favorably from an outside entity that is ultimately responsible for the UC administration.— December 12, 2014 12:23 p.m.

Stephen Shepard: Would like to see what you have to say to Mychal's statement that UCAB is not a student organization and that people have no idea they even exist.— December 12, 2014 8:20 a.m.

Stephen Shepard: The point of recent AS member Josh Kenchel is that no one has even heard of the University Center Advisory Board, let alone know about their meeting schedule or specifically that there was going to be a meeting to discuss the fate of Porter's Pub. Also, may I please remind you of a recent article about the Che Cafe where we pointed out the AS first voted to resolve that the UC administration sit down in good faith to resolve Che's issues. But that at the very next meeting, AFTER A PRIVATE MEETING BETWEEN THE AS PRESIDENT AND VICE CHANCELLOR RATCLIFF according to Kenchel, the AS voted instead to ask the Che to evict itself then have these meetings with UC administartion. Interestingly, The AS President and Ratcliff did not return requests to comment.— December 12, 2014 7:30 a.m.

Bill Johnston, Chargers Public Relations director got back after this article came out. He said "No comment." He could have said something like "We have no plans to change our relationship with Clear Channel at this time." He did not.— December 11, 2014 7:02 p.m.
Zero-tolerance Oceanside
I note that a lot of medical pot stores have clever names like Couch Lock Wellness, Laughing Buddha Delivery and Planet of the Eighths. I think there are others. Why not a tribute to that 50s TV show "Father's Knows Best" called Bud Anderson Bliss. Or how about the San Diego-centric Ryan Leaf Delivers.— December 5, 2014 10:29 a.m.

Also Gina, for the article I wrote about Natures Leaf in October I tried at least three times to contact owner George Sadler by leaving messages at the shop but I never got a call back. He did not show a desire to speak about his store. He had a number of attorney changes. Even if I wanted to contact "the attorney for Natures Leaf," how would I know who it was? As stated, I tried to contact the attorney for Chronic Pain Releaf. With regards to this article, the city attorney approved all his quotes prior to the publication of this article.— December 5, 2014 10:17 a.m.

Gina, the Oceanside city attorney is alleging that connection, hence the criminal citation. Any problem with that, please contact the City of Oceanside. We put a call into the attorney for Chronic Pain but got no response.— December 4, 2014 7:22 p.m.
A question of safety...and address
UCSD Professor Charles Thorpe makes this clarification: "When I wrote on the UCSD faculty association website that sending in the police to evict the students would be disastrous, I said I do not want to see our students arrested merely because they support a crucial part of the campus and oppose its destruction. I don't like the idea that police would be sent in against our students."— December 1, 2014 3:27 p.m.
Red rover, red rover, send Timmy back over
And then some might say 94/9 blew itself up when its image became The Station-that-has-the-Mikey-Show. After that, who cares what you play? Fall Out Boy? Paramore? Evanescence? Come on down! I wonder what has had the strongest impact on 94/9's image...The iPads, Mikey Show or the same 20 year old Red Hot Chili Peppers song played twice a day.— November 11, 2014 10:18 a.m.
