This quarter, the Dean of Students plans to review all policies that concern student rights. According to the amendment, commercial solicitors have, in recent times, overtaken posting space reserved for university use. Personally, I think it would have benefited the students. Posting of materials is a significant source of soliciting, but not the only one. Throughout campus, a student sees or encounters solicitors who distribute credit card applications, promote dot-com ventures with the offer of jobs to students, as well as those people who voice their religious views.
Credit cards are the major violators of soliciting, while dot-coms come in second.
According to Peterson, the only form of commercial soliciting for credit cards allowed is that which is done for the Alumni Association. Other commercial forms of credit card soliciting are prohibited. J. Johnson, a credit card solicitor for M.W.A. and Citibank and stationed Jan. 11 on the bridge connecting UCI with the University Marketplace, spoke of the situation which surrounds his job and position on campus. I get paid a salary per quarter, but they don t tell me where to go, mainly I go on campus and crash. There are those solicitors who vocalize their views, whether they are social, economic or most commonly, religious.
