Make student center student-centered

As advocates for student fairness throughout the district, The Ranger conducted a walkthrough of all campus student centers and found the amenities at the Loftin Student Center to be severely lacking.

As this colleges’ most senior administrator, we think Dr. Robert Zeigler should have a discussion with Dr. Robert Vela, vice president of student affairs, and Jorge Posadas, director of student life, about finding out what we, as students, really need.

Following are additions The Ranger staff feel the center should incorporate:

• A student organization area for groups such as the Student Government Association, the Art Guild and Phi Theta Kappa, with separate cubicles for representatives to work and a conference room.

• Delay the closing time for Loftin to 8 p.m. to accommodate students who attend class at night and want to grab a bite. Remember, they probably came straight from a day job to class.

• Change the on-campus events hours to 11 a.m.-2 p.m. when the bulk of our 22,000 students are here. Everyone is in class at 10 a.m.

• And spend more money on the outdoor areas for increasing enjoyment of this campus beauty.
