Additionally, said Brewer, use of the games was declining in popularity for a long time and profits made were benefiting neither the vendor nor the college. The now-empty room has been the topic of discussion for student and administrative groups. Student Government feels the room should go to a student organization. When asked what student clubs and organizations were mentioned to utilize the room, Student Life Chair of Student Government Matt Bishop 02 said, student government among other groups were talked about. It is the ideal place for an office.
Students walk by there every day on their way to get their mail.
Brewer said she too had ideas regarding potential uses for the room, but that nothing has been finalized. She said she hoped that a decision would be made this summer, so the room would be in use next year. Without the use of the Farinon arcade, students are left with one fewer venue to get the change needed for laundry cycles. The change machine that was in the arcade room is the property of Strauss. It was frequented by many students, Brewer said.
