What should he do?<br /><br />2nd, Im from Jackson. Thats 45miles away. There is no buss that can take me, along with many other people. Alot of the time its just not possible to take anything other then your car. <br /><br />And I dont know about other people, but I hate carrying around 30lbs worth of books in my bag all day, so i leave the ones I dont need in my car and switch them out per class.<br /><br />3rd, If WCC built a new building, the cost would go to everyone, right? Not just the people that use that building, right? This is just like that.<br /><br />4th, how are people supposed to get to class if there is NO parking spaces? <br /><br />5th, this is a growth inhibitor. WCC wont be able to take in anymore students if they cant park. Its just going to hurt enrollment if this isnt solved soon.<br />I actually plan my schedule around parking just so im sure i have a space. Its sad really.<br /><br />6th, EMU is just a temporary solution. Not to mention the extra emissions the shuttle puts out.<br /><br />7th, Its not like they are cutting down all of the trees on earth, just around 1,000. And most are invasive trees that need to be taken out anyways. And they are going to plant the trees back, so whats the big deal? And this is a great opportunity to redo WCC's nature trails!! <br /><br />Dont get me wrong, I dont think It should be done if not necessary, but I believe it is.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16241463777475363137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3165586102028795552.post-79171178950635900692010-03-23T07:39:43.084-07:002010-03-23T07:39:43.084-07:00How do you feel about the bus passes going the way...How do you feel about the bus passes going the way of the dinosaurs after the winter semester?Little_Miss_Sinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257418749116139183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3165586102028795552.post-84705728204389525682009-12-11T12:34:15.219-08:002009-12-11T12:34:15.219-08:00Thanks for the comment, SB.

Until there's a practical alternative to driving, it'll keep being popular, so I'd be afraid the sit-in would become a riot between the pro-structure and anti-structure factions. :-(Faramirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353113014098033607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3165586102028795552.post-13853592000903543802009-12-08T22:12:34.802-08:002009-12-08T22:12:34.802-08:00I love your practical thinking, Larry.
Maybe it&#...I love your practical thinking, Larry.<br /><br />Maybe it's time to try and old-fashioned sit-down protest. I'm at a loss as to what else might get decision-makers to listen to reason.SBeannoreply@blogger.com
