Dear Loyolans:
You've spoken, and we've listened. Here's a list of SBA Suggestion Box suggestions/comments and our responses. Keep them coming and email me if you have any questions or further suggestions/comments. Good luck with finals!
Q: The smoking areas need cover from the rain! A: The smoking areas currently have umbrellas in the tables, but we will talk to the powers that be to see if there’s something else we can do about the smoking area by Donovan Hall. We may have to work with the umbrellas for the foreseeable future.
Q: Can we get a 24 Hour Library? A: Hall of the '70s is open 24 hours upon request. Please visit the security desk in the parking garage for assistance.
Q: Can we get refunds for paper? A: Students are not actually allocated a dollar amount for printing, although the amount of available printing each student has left is measured in $ units. This is why there is no refund or carry-over if you do not use up all of your printing during the school year. Loyola students are allocated 3,000 free pages per year in the Rains Computer Lab. Visit here http://library.lls.edu/crc/CRCprinting.html for a full explanation.
Q: The library is freezing! More heat? A: Please visit the circulation desk on the first floor and ask a library employee to turn the heat up.
Q: URGENT! We need recent practice exams for Torts, Property and Contracts. The last Torts exam that we have is almost 20 years old! A: Practice exams for various subjects can be found on the Rains Library homepage at http://library.lls.edu/. Scroll to the bottom of the page and look for where is says “Past Exams.” You can search by Course Name and see all of the exams posted for that subject. This should help! Otherwise, contact your professors.
Q: The campus bookstore should stock little packages of tissues! A: We formally asked the new bookstore manager to address this, so look for little packages of tissues next semester.
Q: Why wasn't there more food at Turf Club? A: Clubs try to order for 300 people, but sometimes more people come or they come back for seconds, thirds, and even FOURTHS! We are looking into instituting a system that allows people to go through the line only twice, such as marking your hand just like we do with the alcoholic beverages. Working on it!
Q: Why don't we have a gym? A: One word: liability.
Q: Why aren't ESBA minutes posted? A: ESBA meets every two weeks, as opposed to DSBA which meets weekly, but the minutes are posted on www.voiceofloyola.com. Keep your eyes peeled!
Thanks, everyone!
Nicole Papincak, DSBA Secretary
liability? It's called a waiver and insurance. You don't think other schools have gyms?
ReplyDeleteI live on the westside and just joined LMU's gym in Westchester. The gym is available to Loyola Law students for only $65/semester and is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteThe gym has all state of the art weights, dumbells, machines, an Olympic size swimming pool, yoga, pilates, multiple tennis courts, locker rooms, and showers. Also, free parking. Very impressive, indeed.
If you are commuting from the Westside to Loyola, this is an option to consider. I only wish I knew about this opportunity earlier in my career at Loyola.
