Parkingtickets (Kate)

Constituents are getting parking ticketsfrom P-Safe in Huntington, but there’s no signage saying they can’t park there.Can we get some signage?

Dr. Karney- Hall

Publicstreet-what jurisdiction do we have?

Parkingon the grass-how much causes damage?

We’lllook into signage, but you cannot park on the grass.

Can weget Bowls or cups for take-out in the cafeteria? We can’t get our sick friendssoup! (Megan)

Cara will look into it.

Willthe Village be re-furnished?

Can Hendrix provide better service tostudents in the apartments?

Can wefully furnish the village?

Lookinginto it… would advantageous/easier to/for students and the school.

Mightbe too expensive, Hendrix is investigating. If furnishing comes to apartments,it would likely come in stages with the Village first (can use for summerconferences).

Wouldthis effect costs for students in apartments?

Notsure yet, but the costs would likely go up. Don’t know if that would be justfor apartments, or a furniture fee for all students (everyone would pay, andbenefit over time).

Optionto choose your own cable package would probably not be as flexible.

Propertydamage at Front Street this weekend

Last weekend someone willfully took apartthe grill behind Front Street to make a bonfire.

Paymentfrom damages comes from us

Facilitiesforced to clean/repair damage, which brings down their moral and makes theschool less inclined to buy us “nice things” (ie new broken benches at theHardin Gazebo).

Facilitiesworks hard and despite all the damage, stays student centered. SO…

Thereis some information about who was responsible, but the Dean asks that studentswho know more information come forward and/or…

 say something to those responsibleYOURSELF. (PEER PRESSURE/TAKE PUBLIC OWNERSHIP…)
