Our View: Lost something?
Herald staff
Issue date: 11/20/08 Section: Opinion
Have you ever lost something on campus, like your keys or ASU ID card, and weren't sure if you left it in the library, the union or anywhere in between?
Well, soon we may not have to run all around campus checking every lost and found.
The Student Government Association has discussed a resolution to create a central Web site for lost and found items. So instead of running from the dorm to the library to the union, students can contact one central place to ask if the item has been turned in.
We at The Herald think this is a great idea. The only thing, why didn't someone think of this sooner?
It is so easy to misplace a cell phone or keys while running around campus. It can take a lot of time to retrace one's footsteps -- time away from schoolwork and sleep.
Not to mention the stress it can cause, stress we students get enough of with classes.
The proposal won't be voted on until next semester, though.
Even so, we at The Herald appreciate the work the SGA has put forth this semester. It has been very enthusiastic in representing the ASU student body, even though not everyone agrees with some of the SGA's resolutions.
We are now a campus that is thinking greener, thanks in part to SGA. With the "Tray-less Wednesday," students saved water, energy, chemicals and food waste.
The SGA has also passed a resolution to make library computers more accessible during finals by blocking certain Web sites often used for recreation.
Another resolution that passed would create a five-minute halo period for tardy students to make it to class without worrying about being locked out by their instructor.
According to SGA President Ryan Beaird, the SGA has passed seven resolutions this semester alone. He said last year's SGA only passed four resolutions the whole year.
Kudos, SGA.
