Lake Takes

THUMBS DOWN to time management.

Does anyone really know what time it is? It may be three o’clock in the K building and 7:30 p.m., in the library, at least that’s what our disfunctioning campus clocks say. Hopefully someone will repair them and synchronize our schedules.

Meanwhile, you might as well go by the clocks in the Foreign Language Lab — the ones that Robert Martinez just installed — that show the times in Paris, Hong Kong, Cairo and Buenos Aires.

Or better yet, wear a watch.

THUMBS UP to Coach Cummings.

Coach Steve Cummings can do anything. Got a baseball team to coach? No problem. Got a volleyball team that needs organizing? He’s the man. Need a substitute soccer coach for a game? He’s all over it. If it’s got a fast ball, Cummings is there.

Now what we’d like to know is, can he fix clocks?

THUMBS DOWN to snubbing our senior faculty.

If North Lake is going to give senior citizen students upfront parking, why not give our senior faculty members the same consideration?

On any given day on the MacArthur side of the campus, you can spot a senior faculty member driving around trying to find a place to park. What’s unsettling is when that NLC instructor has to park at the end of the tennis courts to enter the A building, and he or she has to walk right past the empty spaces reserved for senior students!

Yes, we know there is reserved parking for faculty and staff. But how convenient is that parking lot off Walnut Hill to an instructor who teaches or offices in the A-200 hall?

How hard would it be to allow our senior faculty to use senior parking?
