Jones, Daveante: President

            After the time that I’ve spent here at Southern Arkansas University I have noted a couple of things that I would change if I were president. One thing I would improve is the school sponsored activities. To begin, I would try to schedule them on the weekends. Next I would try to pick entertainment more suitable to the student population. On the weekends most of the students go home because of the lack of activities on the weekends. More opportunities for fun would lead to more students staying on the weekends. Those students, in turn, would invite kids from surrounding areas to come to campus as well, hopefully helping to attract future college students. Another thing that I would change would be to extend the cafeteria’s hours. A lot of students would like for the hours to be extended so it would help them save money. Many students get hungry after 9 p.m. and an opportunity to eat in the cafeteria would help them save money. Another thing I would improve would be the wireless Internet access. At certain places on campus the Internet signal is wonderfully strong but on other parts of campus the signal is atrociously weak. Improving the Internet signal strength to where it could be received on all parts of the campus would benefit students tremendously with school work and also online entertainment. The last thing that I would improve would be to allow more lenient visiting hours in the dormitories. A lot of students complain about being harassed for visiting too long. Many students have friends who live in other dormitories or off campus. Allowing more lenient visiting hours would improve students’ happiness with the housing part of the college life. With these changes and improvements I believe the school would be better and would also attract more future students which would improve the school in that aspect as well. That’s why if I were president they would be the main priorities on my list.
