So, unfortunately, the campus pub project has been put on hold (I assume for at least this year) because of our current financial crisis. This of course is disappointing to myself, the others who are working on the project, and I would assume the student body at large who was excited for a new outlet for student-teacher conversations and a fun, on-campus weekly option. Alas, Trinity’s budget and endowment is infinitely more important to the overall operation and security of the institution and the students, than a campus pub. So, my next project was to address the issue of broken/problematic washer/dryers in some of the dormitories around campus. After speaking with David Andres, hoping to have the school do a campus wide audit of all the machines to see which needed maintenance I was told that the problems could be addressed much more easily; that is, students can report broken machines on an individual basis within their dorms. There are phone numbers posted in laundry rooms that students should call if there is a problem. This way seems much more efficient and logical to me, and, although the burden is now on students to be responsible, I think it will save the school’s staff time and money. My next project is to get “patio furniture” in the concrete jungle. If you have any thoughts or ideas about this project, or others that you think we should tackle, please feel free to contact me!
