Carpet collage

Senior art major Carina Downing tapes up and sets up her collage of carpets at the Max Gatov Gallery East at Cal State Long Beach. The piece is a series of pictures of carpets of casino gambling floors on the Las Vegas Strip. Downing said that the piece was her "pilgrimage to find out about carpets in Vegas."

Slanted stop

A stop sign outside the SSPA building is slanted oddly. Based on its angle, I'm guessing that the construction crews of the Outpost had something to do with it – I can imagine some kind of dump truck going backwards and accidentally hitting the sign. I have a hard time believing a car would be driving sideways across the road to hit it like that.

Expired elevator permits

Parking structure elevators display an expired permit. Last inspected on January 16, 2008, expired a year later on January 16. Don't like this. They should have put up the new ones. And the elevator I rode on was very slow to open and close the doors.

Has anyone seen my bike?

The men's bathroom at the USU provides some interesting conversation. Here someone asks whoever reads this to beat the shit out of whoever stole their bike, with the supposed stealer responding.

Time to study

Students circle up their chairs to study in the USU.

Hall of Sciences construction

Construction on the new PH3 Hall of Sciences building construction is humming along. They're apparently trying to make the ground smooth and flat before starting a foundation. The Daily 49er has an article titled "Hall of Science will allow more extensive research" with a wider angle. I like this shot better because it shows the workers at work.
