SBA Suggestion Box Comments Revealed!

Dear Loyola Students:

As some of you may have noticed, SBA put a fancy shmancy suggestion box on our library's circulation desk. Omid, your SBA VP, and I thought we did a great decorating job until the library one-uped us with shiny gold decorations and bigger letters. . . anyway, some of you have done a great job of taking advantage of this suggestion box by telling SBA what YOU WANT.

Here are the comments and suggestions we've received thus far, with responses from SBA!

1. Q: How can I contact my 2L rep about a bar review for my Evidence Class?

A: If you'd like to organize something with your 2L Evidence section, contact your class's SBA 2L Rep:

Goldman - Renee Pratt, reneep821@gmail.com

Gold - Vickie Chan, vickiechan101@gmail.com

Cammack - Liz Treckler, liz.treckler@gmail.com

Williams - Claire Ettema, oneclaire@gmail.com

2. Q: Are there 2 SBAs?

A: The day and evening sections of LLS each have their own representative body, DSBA and ESBA. DSBA board members are elected by day students, and ESBA board members are elected by evening students. While each representative body dedicates part of its work to benefit the students it represents, DSBA and ESBA also work together for the good of the entire student body. DSBA and ESBA confer every week to discuss common goals, social events, and issues affecting both day and evening students. Contact us for more information!

3. Q: Why don't we have a website for SBA?

A: SBA is proud to announce that a website is forthcoming! Please also visit www.voiceofloyola.com, which is the destination for all things LLS. Here, you can access a calendar of events and blogposts about the goings-on on campus.

4. Q: How about a Women of Loyola Calendar...

A: How about a Students of Loyola Calendar?!

5. "You guys are awesome"

A: SBA thanks you for this comment!

6. Q: Hey, Loyola smokers, can you please use the ashtrays?

A: No one likes to clean up after other people. Please, Loyola smokers, do your best to use the ashtrays that are provided to you, and cleaned out by, our great staff members. SBA will work on having signs put up in the smoking areas as well.

7. "I think Loyola should get a mechanical bull"

A: Although this may not happen on our campus, there's this great little place in Hollywood called Saddle Ranch that will fulfill all of your mechanical bull needs.

Thanks to everyone who contributed and keep the comments and suggestions coming!
