I’m not one to talk about bills and money, since I’m an English major, but sometimes I wonder what Fairfield does with our money. I began to think about this when I heard that Far East Movement was going to be our fall semester concert. I can’t think of one person that is excited for it, myself included. I’m still wondering who the hell Hoodie Allen is… and why he’d name himself after a sweatshirt.
Has anyone ever attended the Bingo nights that FUSA holds here? I’m guessing that most people would say no. I’m not on FUSA, and I know it must be a lot of work to put events together, but come on. Can we think of better ways to spend our programming money? Free food events go over well, along with other free things, because obviously college kids love free stuff. (HINT- More free T-shirts. iPhone Guy is right. We love them.)
Prez Ball is one of the most successful events of the year, and it’s a shame that there are not other events like Prez Ball going on throughout the year. If Fairfield could just hold big, fun events that occur not so often, then the events would be more successful – that’s not rocket science. Let’s get rid of the petty events that go on at 2 p.m. on a Monday when I’m still in class. More dances, more “Late Night at Barone” and night events. It’s the way to go. Give us something else to do on our Friday night besides roaming the townhouses and the beach. I know it sounds crazy, but some people actually get TIRED of drinking and partying on the weekends.
Now, back to how our University spends money. I’m loving the red signs because they really prevent me from getting lost walking around campus. We can afford all the little red signs, but not to clean up our gym that’s full of rust? Why can’t we have some air conditioning? I’ve been sweating in my room since we got here. And why are there still students in my history class that don’t have desks? Shouldn’t Fairfield prioritize how they spend their money?
There are just so many things that Fairfield could be doing for its students with the large pile of money that is our tuition. I’m happy about the changes in the StagBus, and the fact that we can fit more than 8 people on the bus at one time . Now I can actually go out to dinner in town past 7 p.m, and not have to call a cab to come back to campus. Talk about convenience. I guess changes are just going to take time, but hurry up Fairfield: I only have 5 more semesters until graduation!
