Many students are quick to blame them not being able to find a parking spot on the administration’s lack of providing parking availability. However, if we look at this situation realistically we will realize that the school, and public safety in general, don;t have much to do with it. Public Safety administrator Mrs. Nelson tells us, “Parking on C.W. Post campus is a privilege.” Technically speaking, it is free. Unlike various other schools, the ability to park at C.W. Post is one that will not cost us anything. As we all know, what is free will not be great. Junior Andrea Deignan tells us that before coming to Post she attended George Mason University in Virginia and that there the purchase of a parking permit was mandatory. “Even though the parking lots fill up quickly here, it’s still better than paying a yearly rate.”

With the sudden increase in the use of laptops and Ipads among students in colleges and universities, school newspapers are faced with a choice: should we continue printing a paper edition or would it be more beneficial to switch to the web?

Its true, the drinking water at C.W. Post is guaranteed to be the best water. The Jericho Water district supplies the water for C.W. Post Campus as well as for the whole distribution system, which include major portions of Jericho, Old Brookville, Muttontown, and Syosset. As stated by Peter Logan, the superintendent of the Jericho Water District, “the water we provide is the best water, even better than bottled water.”
“We have a movie theater?” This was the common response when students where asked if they noticed the movies shown in Hillwood were disappearing. The answer is yes; Hillwood Commons does have a Cinema where movies are shown. Some movies that are shown have not yet been released on DVD. The Association for Campus Programming (ACP) sponsors these movies.
Since this past summer, WCWP, the C.W. Post campus radio station, has been under serious construction. The station was in need of an overhaul and the building is finally getting a facelift. New carpeting, new ceilings and new paint have been installed. However, the renovations have taken longer than expected. Workers are currently welding together the new heating system, which has left the station without hot water or heat. In addition, WCWP is still awaiting the resources to buy new equipment for the studios.
