Alexander Speaks in Support of Lighting Project

President F. King Alexander spoke at a rally today, trying to convince the Long Beach City Council to contribute to the cost of putting lights at the edges of the campus, according to LBReport.com.

The rally, called "Light Up Our Nights," came in response to the Council's recent refusal to allocate $133,000 to help place lights along Bellflower Boulevard, Atherton Street and Palo Verde Avenue. The city, CSULB and L.A. County had previously agreed to split the $400,000 cost three ways.

Other speakers at the rally, which drew a crowd of 20 to 40 people, included Police Chief Jack Pearson and City Councilman Gary DeLong.
