Measure P did, after all, promise students a new state of the art computer lab. You and your cohorts decided the only place to put it is where your offices are right now, and the only place where your offices could be is in the Scheller House. We don't need to remind you that the house is still up on stilts, untouched since the beginning of school, looking like an enormous safety hazard that a stiff breeze could topple over at any moment. You've already torn down the alumni house. If you're proposing building something new, and if you're still claiming to have students' best interests in mind, consider this.
Many students are tired of construction around campus.
The jack hammering, back-hoeing, nailing, digging, detouring and basic inconvenience of it all is really getting on our nerves. The Scheller House, for instance, is surrounded by a massive fence, forcing students to take the long way to class. The construction of the new Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Joint Library, while it has nothing to do with Associated Students, is bothersome. Even students who don't consider it a waste of funds and time are annoyed by the racket caused by pile driving and the inconvenience of having to cross the street to get to the Student Services Center . Whenever the new University Police Department's offices are ready for them to move into, there will be the demolition of its old offices for students to contend with.
