Warm fall days and mild winters make year-round gardening a reality
on the Central Coast. And as surely as September ushers in warm days,
the UCSC Fall Plant Sale offers gardeners a rich and timely selection
of certified organic vegetable seedlings, perennials, and California natives.
Sponsored by the UCSC Farm at the Center for Agroecology & Sustainable
Food Systems, the sale takes place on Friday and Saturday, September 13
and 14, from noon to 6 p.m. on Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday,
in the Barn Theater parking lot.
Leeks, rainbow chards, salad greens, and Brassicas like broccoli and
kale are just a few of the vegetables that can be planted this fall for
winter harvest. The sale also will feature perennial flowers and shrubs,
including culinary herbs, subtropical salvias, herbaceous perennials like
yarrow and Lady's Mantle, and a limited selection of California natives
and roses.
The sale will benefit the UCSC Apprenticeship in Ecological Horticulture.
Members of the Friends of the UCSC Farm & Garden receive a 10 percent
discount on purchases; memberships will be available at the sale. For

UC settles with Arthur Andersen's international firms in Enron lawsuit
On behalf of Enron Corp. investors, the University of California has
tentatively reached, subject to the approval of certain of the principals
and the court, a $40 million settlement with Arthur Andersen's international
umbrella organization in the Enron securities and pension class-action
suits.
Andersen Worldwide, SC, and its non-U.S. member firms will be released
from liability and dismissed from the suit; the U.S. firm (Arthur Andersen
LLP) and its members will not be released and will remain in the suit.
The settlement funds will eventually be divided among class members
on the basis of an allocation formula that estimates their pro-rata share
of total class damages. The division of the Andersen payment between the
securities and pension classes will also be determined later. See
full story.

Parking lot closes to make way for Engineering Building
Preparation work for the new UCSC Engineering Building has prompted the closing of Lot 139, the lot behind Baskin Engineering Building. The lot is expected to remain closed, with the contractor likely to break ground on the new building this month. New handicapped spaces are available for those who require them. There are also some spaces reserved for university and service vehicles. Others should park in the Core West Parking Structure or Lot 150, which is also known as the North Perimeter Lot. Guests to the campus may use pay station spaces at the parking structure.

and Parking Services web site and the Physical
