I think your arguments about the small appliances are good. People should be able to eat/cook what they want. Yes, they could be in Wyview or Heritage, but sometimes the Cannon has nasty food no one wants to eat.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the visiting hours argument as well, Heritage and Wyview can have people over all day, why can't we?
I agree with your argument about longboarding on campus. You may want to add more specifically where students could ride and where not to ride and at what times. Where exactly do you consider the perimeter of campus? I don't think students should be riding boards through the middle of campus during breaks, like how you cannot ride your bike during breaks, it would be too dangerous. On the other hand, I was once yelled at for riding my longboard at 11 PM in the Helaman Halls parking lot, with no one else around. I do think the current longboarding rules should be less strict.
ReplyDeleteYou bring up a valid point about how students living in helaman halls can not use small appliances in the dorms. You bring up a lot about how it would help students eat better. I think an even better claim or reason would be how students are not allowed to bring food out of the cannon and the cannon is not open twenty four hours. Otherwise I felt your agruement was strong:)
