PARADOX CAFE CLOSED DOWN VS

CAMPUS SECURITY OFFICERS AT MONTEREY PENINSULA COLLEGE STOPPED AN UNAUTHORIZED FOOD AND COFFEE GIVEAWAY WEDNESDAY THAT WAS ACCEPTING DONATIONS, AND TURNING A PROFIT. OFFICERS SAID THE "PARADOX," OUTDOOR CAFE WAS NOT APPROVED BY THE ADMINISTRATION. THE FOOD GIVEAWAY HAS BEEN OPERATING FOR 2 AND A HLF WEEKS, AND HAS ALREADY ACCEPTED ABOUT $500 IN DONATIONS TO HELP SUPPORT A STUDENT PUBLICATION, CALLED "THE SCRATCH PAPER." ACCORDING TO THE ADMINISTRATION, FOOD CAN BE SOLD FOR A DAY OR 2, BUT DOING SO FOR LONGER COULD PUT THE SCHOOL INTO LEGAL PROBLEMS. ORGANIZERS SAID THAT THE GIVEAWAY STARTED OUT SMALL AND GOT OUT OF HAND.
