ATTENTION: MOTION MONDAYS!!

Submitted by CurlyQ on Mon, 2005-09-26 16:08. Motion Mondays!

ATTENTION ALL BLOGGERS!!:

Starting today (Monday, Sept. 26th) every Monday on our blog will now be known as MOTION MONDAY! This is the suggestion box idea that I had before... Hopefully this segment will attract other bloggers from colleges state-wide to make suggestions about their schools, cities, politics,etc. This could even be a place to whine. This should only take place on MONDAYS!

I will start with a few suggestions for Bryn Mawr:

1) PAPER TOWELS IN THE BATHROOMS... PuH-LEASE! This is my main issue... I understand they're trying to conserve, but public restrooms have them and a $42,000 private school doesn't??

2) more jobs for Frosh OUTSIDE of the dining halls

3) More advanced work out room... Some of the equipment in there is older than I am!

4) SHHHHHH, construction people, SHHHHHH!

ANYONE HAVE ANY MOTIONS FOR THIS FIRST "MOTION MONDAY"???

Interesting

haha
those "motion monday" suggestions you have up there are exactly same from my friends' conversation, especially with the gym equipments and the frosh jobs.
The school should buy more equipments in the gym! Even my town's YMCA was better than that. Also, they could extend the time of gym and then school will be able to hire some more students(more jobs everyone! more jobs). That could take care of your suggestions #2 and #3.
Let's make a petition for that. Any objections?

Good idea!

Submitted by Whimsical Monkey on Mon, 2005-09-26 17:22.

You should make a topic/category called "motion monday" and put it on your post. Then we can tell others about this idea.

Complaint Time...Are you on Time?

Submitted by Judge Hatchet on Mon, 2005-09-26 20:22.

First off, I want to second your complaint of the gym equipment. I am not a gym connessiuer...I really only use the treadmill and maybe the sit down bike if I need to read something, but really. They should have some up to date stuff like a BowFlex ect. The comment on hours too is one that I have often thought of. Why not open at five in the morning. I know that not all students are early risers, but some are, like myself who is used ot getting up early because I used to have a seven AM class in high school. Could they keep it open a little later too? I mean, some people don't even get done with meetings and TA sessions till nine or ten? Maybe they could close it during the day when everyone is in class if they are worried that it is open too much? I just think that if we are paying the amount that everyone here is paying, the school should be catering to us and keep our gym open for cying out loud!
My next Motion Monday comment, beofre its not Monday anymore, is the whole Bryn Mawr time thing. I know its cool that we can show up ten minutes late to everything, but this is getting everyone into terrible habits. Don't you think that we could end ten minutes early and then everyone would be like, "Cool, I'm getting out of class early!!!!!" I just think that it sets the standards for the rest of our lives. We all have known that one person that is always, no matter what, LATE. We don't need a bunch of highly educated LATE women around, Do We?
So that's my beef. I hope I didn't tick anyone off too much. I jsut have some issues with the school right now. Thanks All, and hopefully we won't wake up to Mr Jackhammer tomorrow...

Paper Towels

Submitted by Apathy on Mon, 2005-09-26 22:06.

I disagree about the motion to have paper towels. There are towel racks. We really do need to conserve when it comes to the envireonment; it has nothing to do with money in my oppinion. In fact, they shouldnt even be using toilet paper (kidding). Well, i could lecture you about the rainforrests being chopped down and the ozone layer and the oxygen is going to run out but i wont because i know you know about that stuff. Im not a tree hugger any more than i am a paper towel hugger... haha figure that one out. So, i'd like to make a MOTION (since it is motion monday) against the motion to put paper towels in the bathrooms.

the other side

Submitted by Salamander on Sun, 2005-10-02 22:53.

Well, I do understand that it is very important to save the nature, but I disagree about the paper towels in the bathroom. Not having paper towels in the bathrooms makes some people wash their hands less, which is a big deal. A lot of people have been talking about different diseases on campus. Germs spread, in addition to all the rest of the reasons, because students do not wash their hands as much as they should.

Um... ew.

Submitted by Apathy on Sun, 2005-10-02 23:46.

What kind of a person doesnt wash their hands after they go to the bathroom? Im sorry but thats disgusting. If that is true, i think the issue is more with the people not washing their hands than with not having paper towels. JUST USE A TOWEL PEOPLE!

Compromise

Submitted by Girl Meets World on Thu, 2005-10-20 23:25.

Here is an idea about the whole paper towel situation. Instead of having paper towels, have the little machines that sit on the wall and blow warm air on your hands to dry them. That way, people will still wash their hands (hopefully) and also have a way to dry them. Good for the environment and good for hygiene.

A very nice compromise that I would be happy with.
Good idea!!

I live in Radnor and the TV is broken!!! It is our only TV and we need it to work!!! I mean come on! Also in Radnor we have no DVD player which some of the other dorms have!!! Radnor is getting shafted!! BOOO
