Solar Panel and Class Syllabus

I think you're right, Adam, about having to talk to people high up in Siena.
In regards to that, a lot of people in the class are in the Bonner Program (in our group alone we have Keri, Tai, Joe and myself). The program is run by Fr. Ken Pauli, so we do have some connections with getting our ideas heard by the office of the president in that manner. But I think that although this is a great place to start, we will have to find other ways of talking to other people important in the Siena decision making system (ie the Treasury).

On another note, I've done some research on other campuses who have gotten solar panels in an effort to go green... here are some interesting links you guys can look at when you get a chance. Its interesting to see how the schools use the panels, and how they fundraised for such huge projects (a lot of schools obtained various sponsors)...

On the topic of the syllabus, I agree with Amanda. There definitely needs to be a more effective method of deciding as a group on how to break up the grade system. Having a shouting match over the issue will just result in the most powerful voice being the one who's plan we use. This is obviously not a good method-- just because a person is loud doesn't mean that their opinion holds any more weight that anyone else's. We need to find a way to give everyone, loud or not, a chance to have their imput.
