I'm Mentioning
Is the school overstating the obvious with the new signs?

Now let us recap on what we've learned so far:
· The sign in lot 2 is far too large for its purpose, which is to provide information that would be just as easily obtained through a process I have begun to call "looking in front of you."
· The process of making signs, as well as cementing them to the ground for that matter, is not free. It seems like a waste of money to me to have implemented a sign in such a place that all it really achieves is insulting the students by implying that they would need a sign to tell them something that they should already know.
Perhaps if the sign had other relevant information on it, taking up space it does have that is not being used, it would not be such an eyesore on campus. But for the time being it remains a useless piece of plastic stuck on metal, serving no purpose on campus.
On a side note, it has come to my attention that certain people in the Skyline College community do not appreciate the way I write my articles. This does not bother me by any means, and I would be happy to talk to anyone who disagrees with me and explain to them where I am coming from.
However I would ask that anyone who has a problem with my writing please speak to me directly, instead of talking about me to their peers, or perhaps their class, without actually raising a voice against what they so obviously disagree with. In short and to be blunt, if you have a problem, let me know I'd be happy to duke it out with you.
Please send all complaints to the_accordion_cowboy@yahoo.com, or come to the Skyline View office during our regular office hours: M, W, F between 12-1p.m. Thank you all very much and remember, I am the Accordion Cowboy, and this has been I'm Mentioning....
