One Cal Poly fraternity and one sorority have negotiated with a developer to move into two motels, but objections from new neighbors may hinder the plan. Residents of houses and apartments near the two motels off Monterey Street have registered complaints with the City Planning Board over the proposal, said City Planner Judy Lautner. “The letters and calls we have received have been in opposition to the request,” Lautner said.

COMMENTARY It’s the world according to Joe By Joe Cohen What’s happenin’ dudes? So nice to see you again How’s the kids? Good ... Good. Well ... I am writing this column assuming that most of you reading this did not bum your eyeballs out looking up at the eclipse. If you did bum them out, have someone else read the column to you at a more convenient time. Okay. The 4th of July is over and America has put away their flags until next year or the next war, whatever comes first. By now you’ve already flunked your first quiz and now you’re sitting in a classroom wondering why, at the end of spring quarter, that voice in your mind said,“Hey, I’ve got three months off. Why not go to school?” Could it be the fear of spending another summer at home, where the night life is Denny’s and the days are filled watching “Supermarket Sweep”? This definitely has something to do with it, but the fact is that television, in general, sucks these days. It's funny how in my hometown people don’t even have clocks. If they want to know what time it is they just flick on the tube. Oprah means 3 p.m., Doogie Howser means 8:30 p.m., soaps mean between noon and 2 p.m., and Parker Lewis means that absolute ly nothing else is on, therefore making time stand still anyway. I am convinced that watching too much television in the spring somehow warped my brain and tricked me into going to summer school. I probably watched one too many episodes of “Head of the Class” and snapped. Anyways, since I’ve been up at school this quarter, I refuse to pay Sonic Ripoff Cable the $70 to turn my idiot box back on. As a result, lately I’ve been renting a lot of movies, and can advise you on exactly which flicks not to rent this summer. After paying three dollars to see “Spaced Invaders” last year, I never thought it was possible to see anything that bad again. Then I rented “Harley,” starring Lou Diamond Phillips. This movie did not receive a lot of press attention when it came out, and now I know why. It really sucks. I’d tell you the plot if there was one. For now, trust me to tell you that “Harley” bites. The next day something in my mind said maybe I should rent “Look Who’s Talking Too.” This was mistake number two. This movie, unlike “Harley” has a plot. Well ... it sort of has a plot. The plot is Roseanne Barr doing a voice over for a little baby girl. Ha ... Ha ... Ha ... I did rent a few cool things though. “Good Fellas” is great; “Jacobs Ladder” is the scariest film I’ve ever watched; and “Kindergarten Cop” was totally enjoyable. I’d tell you about them, but believe it or not, I’m not a critic. I’m a columnist and therefore my columns always have some kind of message, and here it is. Don’t be a couch potato this summer. Go for walks, go to the movies, write real long commentaries for the school paper, but don’t become a slave to Sonic Cable. Although I am still technically a sophomore, I’ve already started my senior project entitled “Gomer Turns Brain To Goo.” Think about who writes for shows like “Three’s Company,” “Knight Rider,” “The New Munsters,” or “Babes.” Those writers used to be just like us, until one day, they saw one too many episodes of “Gilligan’s Island” and lost their sense of humor com pletely. Save yourself. Call Sonic Cable and cancel your service. Take the money you save and rent a good video, treat your significant other to dinner or play 120 video games. Thank you for your at tention, now go back to sleep.
