	Fliers on buildings removed  By Royce Mori Special to the Daily Forty-Niner To clear up the clutter on campus, a Cal State Long Beach business group removed fliers posted on all classroom buildings Saturday. About 50 members of the Associated Business Student Organizations Council showed up to tear down the postings. Some students arriving to school Monday were pleased to see what the business council had done. "I'm glad they cleaned up the campus," said Jerico Cabaysa, a senior majoring in political science. "I think the advertisements took away from the professional prestige of Cal State Long Beach." Reacting to complaints, the business council, which was awarded CSULB's "Organization Council of the Year" for the 1998-99 academic year, decided to rip down all the advertisements and posters that were unauthorized or posted in restricted areas. With maps in hand, the business council members split up into 5 groups and in 5 hours hit every classroom, pillar and bulletin board on campus. Even after the campus sweep, more fliers may be removed. "Students are encouraged to tear down commercial or unauthorized postings if they see them around campus," said Barry Reid, executive vice president of the business council. The business council, which governs the other 13 organizations within the College of Business Administration, allocates resources among the other CBA organizations. More than 1,000 members are involved within CBA organizations. Because of its outstanding recruitment and success, the business council wanted to do something to help the school. "A lot of organizations around campus do community service projects like cleaning up the beaches and so forth, but the university has helped ABSOC so much that we wanted to give something back to the school," said Aylan Chauv, treasurer of the business council. The cleanup went very well, and with the continued success of the organization it will do another community service project in the future, according to the business council. "Since we are all business majors, we concentrate so much on making money we don't remember to help out those around us, but I want to change that," said Thushan Rajapaksa, president of the business council.
