Hello again!
I had another meeting recently, this time with my liaison, Dean Justin Carroll of Residential Life. We talked about a multitude of things. Basically:
*ResLife takes student input into great consideration. They have a great and longstanding history with SU and CS40.
*He understands the difficult situation of living on the 40 this year. The long-term benefits, however, outway the short term irritations. As someone who has seen the full, D video plans for the *new* and *improved* Forty, I can vouch for that. Which leads me to:
*We are going to work together to make sure the student body is more informed about what is actually going on. So many people just see nonstop construction, and don't have a vision of what the final product will be because no one has given that to them. We are hoping to make the 3D video plan publicly accessable through the website. We are also considering drafting a letter or newsletter about the changes that are going on, and what we can expect next. Knowledge really eases the frustration.
Since he is my liaison, I will continue to meet with him. Please email me with any questions, concerns, complaints, or compliments. My email is ehjordan@wustl.edu.

I have been working to find an alternative for Arts and Sciences students who will face printing charges in the ArtSci Computing Center this fall. While it doesn't look like we'll be able to make it free, I can tell you that the fee will be lower than the library ($0.04 single sided and $0.06 double-sided). I am also working with the administration to implement a plan that may let you pay for pages in advance at a reduced rate.
I don't want to see juniors and seniors with no free printing on campus (freshmen and sophomores have their dorms). Tuition and textbooks are expensive enough! Hopefully I'll be able to ensure that all upperclassmen who live in ResLife buildings will have printer access. I will keep you updated on my progress with the ArtSci Lab... send me suggestions!
