ojfreder, I hope you understand that the SLC cannot be expanded anymore, and so you were not voting for its expansion. We're talking about a new building in the parking lot in front of SCH for additional student space.

At least health services looks like it'll get expanded, heck it needs it.

i agree with not expanding the slc but I think the Sound FM would be a great idea. I dont think it should be passed up.
