So this post is old, but we have new info! First, I believe a blinking light was put in to allow pedestrians to cross more easily, so hopefully that helped! However, part of the 6th and 19th crossing planning includes putting a roundabout at the 19th and Elm intersection. This won’t be in construction for another year or so but will probably cause some issues in the future. Just want to let you all know that USG voiced our concerns to the planning committee at the last meeting about 6th and 19th about the pedestrian crossing, but that is all we can do for now!

UPDATE:
Currently CTLM has a dedicated 24 hour computer lab with a lot of computers and software! Any student, no matter what major or year, can use these computers. USG acknowledges that there should be more space on campus for 24 hour dedicated computer labs. We will continue in the future to advocate for new computer labs. For example, the new library renovation project will create new space for more computer labs accessible to all students.Sincerely,
USGUpdate: It is in the short future of capital planning to create two more computer labs. One will be a teaching lab in Chauvenet and the other will be in Brown building. A definite timeline is not yet known. It is still a class project to work on longer access in Brown.

It is indeed ridiculous. Perhaps our student body size doesn't quite meet the critical mass necessary to fund a 24-hour lab. But, almost every school I know of has a 24-hour computer lab.

UPDATE: We are going to decline this issue right now since it was posted so long ago but if it still an issue please just post again and then we will address it. We just don’t know if this is still an issue since it’s been two years.
The Junior Class USG is willing to take this project on. To formally voice your opinion and/or suggestions, stop by their office hours in Digger Den at 5-6pm on Wednesdays or by email at samcoope@mymail.mines.edu.

We could get about five or six people together to wheel that thing out of Brown and down a big hill for fun.

UPDATE:
USG is still looking into this and we will direct this issue to our advisor.Our Board of Trustees representative, Jerry Miller, is looking in to details about the policy and history of why it was implemented. Will get back when we have more info!

I don't think the policy is as agressive as you think. In a nutshell, your IP is your own unless you're under an employment or research contract with the university. Regardless, what important, valuable, world-changing IP have Mines students created that they're afraid of getting "jacked" by the university? I can't think of many.

It is now required for graded work to be returned within two weeks of it being turned in. It’s now posted on all the syllabus!

Just fire the instructors who don't turn around grades within a reasonable amount of time.

Pricing based on vehicle size: Most of the spots on campus are not on the street so we do not think that pricing based on vehicle size would be a good option.
Pass enforcement: It makes it easier for the student workers to have the pass be consistently in one place.
Parking office: We will bring up in our meeting that this is “hostile” but it’s a joke it is not meant to be taken seriously,
Buying passes based on the day: We can bring this up in a meeting on the logistics of buying passes for specific days. Most people have classes at least four days of the week, however, so I don’t know how much of a benefit this would be.
Motorcycle pass: We discussed this issue and decided that we are not going to pursue it. There are a lot of other issues that we are working…

I think folks need some perspective. Parking will always be a problem. It is a problem on most college campuses, and has been for years. No matter how much parking is available, it will be filled. I have a great solution to parking: arrive on campus before 8:30AM. Yay for me!

I think this is a fine idea, since we do have many Muslim students and they do need to pray multiple times per day. But is this really a USG concern? Why not a Christian prayer room, a Satanist prayer room, and another room for people to pray to Willy Wonka? It seems to me that a motivated student can reserve whatever she needs on campus on her own, through an official Muslim student group.
We just need one of those auto-detecting flashy signs. Boulder has about fifty of them, and if it works for the hippies and hipsters it should be ok for Elm and 19th.
