Comments on: Rethinking the Hub http://cmcforum.com/news/03102010-rethinking-the-hub The Official Student Publication of Claremont McKenna College Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:14:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Actually http://cmcforum.com/news/03102010-rethinking-the-hub#comment-23099 Actually Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:13:17 +0000 http://cmcforum.com/?p=11964#comment-23099 I don't know who the author used as a source, but I have talked directly with Dean Huang about this space, and it will be used for Grad students. I also suggested to him that RDS put some computers in there so that the grad students don't hog all the computers in Poppa, which he seemed open to. Otherwise I completely agree with you about not taking up our space, but if they don't get space here, then they will get it somewhere else on campus which might be even worse/more annoying...

If the article is vague in that respect, I'd appreciate someone clarifying it. But not someone who starts their comments with "Actually..." And even if it's just for grad students, I don't like the idea of grad students taking space from undergrad students on campus. Let RDS build them something in the pit in Upland with that $200mil and not use the buildings that weren't paid for by RDS.

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:07:52 +0000 http://cmcforum.com/?p=11964#comment-23088 I think that a good part of the problem with the Hub, is the quality of the Hub Grill. If you want CMC students to go somewhere, make sure there is good food. The food at the Hub is unhealthy, slow, and the quality is quite poor. If you want something you can't find in a stadium concession stand, i.e. real food, you're out of luck. Just making it look nicer won't solve the problem.

But come to think of it, that's probably one more reason why she won -- to outsiders, you are the company you keep. Please stop with the anonymous bitterness and hijacking comment threads. You're clearly in the minority and even though I didn't vote, I now wish I had voted for Tammy now that I see how Kraus and his friends are behaving after the loss. Be humbled and move on.
