The drought has forced Californians to conserve water, which has affected local businesses, especially the Coiner Nursery in La Verne, which is surviving by selling more succulents.
Aaron Kiel, a ULV sophomore, filed a lawsuit on October 11, 1994 against the University of La Verne, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, James Coiner of Coiner Nursery in La Verne and six other defendants in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity for assault, negligence and property, compensatory, general and punitive damages.
