The Frederick Park apartments seem to be lively in these great conditions. Driving through, students can be seen lounging on their lawns and seizing the day. “I like hanging out on the lawn and having a few beers with friends to enjoy the rare Monterey warmth, because today is a lovely day for a Guinness,” said Yuri Beckelman. next year's Associated Students president.
