Cookie for Cuts

Associated Students Inc. hosted an event called "Cookie for Cuts" to get students involved against the budget cuts.

The event served as both a fundraiser and a hands-on event for students to do something about the drastic changes the university has had to make. Students were able to to toss pies at a picture of the Capitol and write letters to be directly sent to Sacramento.

"This event was great, I participated by writing a letter talking about how the budget cuts have impacted me, " said Esmeralda Vargas, a sophomore communications major student.

Other opted to toss the pie at the picture to get some of that frustration out of their system.

Osvaldo Lopez, a junior history major stated that the pie toss to him meant that students will no longer take more budget cuts and that they are the "target" to help stop all this.

According to ASI students, the funds raised by the bake sale will be donated to the California State University system to support the fight to save higher education.
