ASF should fund some summer service scholarships to help those students in their volunteer opportunity. Anything to enhance our mission statement." —Debbie Roberts, Protestant campus minister

Anything to start a night culture on campus to discuss the issues of the day. Forget the parties." —Dr. David Flaten, Theatre Department Chair
"Something to bring the students together, to develop a community among the students. Dances. Those are a lot of fun and it brings people together. Activities to promote awareness on current political issues." —Rick Garcia, sophomore
