There are many qualities that a good college should have: capable faculty, student involvement, clubs to keep students engaged, and many others. There are, however, a few things that need to be changed at the wonderful Southern Arkansas University, namely being the cafeteria food and lighting on campus.
Everyday, students walk to the cafeteria in hopes of getting a warm, delicious meal to whet their appetites. This happens on some days, but most days are filled with unappetizing and unappealing messes. The food needs to appeal to the masses, but most days the masses scrunch their noses in disgust. One change needs to be the temperature of the food. No one wants to consume cold pasta or chilly potatoes. There are warmers underneath the food for a reason and they need to be hotter so the food doesn’t spoil while on the bar. One other thing that the cafeteria needs to consider changing is some of the menu items. On some days the food is just downright inedible. Take the chicken and rice for example; I decided to get a plate of it one day because it looked good, but when I took that first bite I nearly gagged. It was horrible! Many other people who had it on their plates did the same thing. There needs to be change!
One last change that needs to take place is the lighting on campus. I have to walk from one dorm to the Honors dorm on a regular basis at night, and sometimes I get chills thinking of what or who might be lurking out there. There needs to be more lamp posts and more street lights scattered around campus to at least provide adequate lighting for the students that do have to be out late. Less lighting just means that there is a higher chance of someone being taken advantage of or hurt.
Lighting and changes in the cafeteria would be my main goals if I were the president of SAU. Student life revolves around them. Cafeteria food keeps us full and happy and lighting keeps us safe. So it would be my duty to provide both of these to my students and fellow faculty members.
