We will be meeting with Hitoshi and the other of the student reps on
Monday (November 3rd) to address our concerns/ interests. If there
are any specific topics you would like us to address, please post them
in response to this message.

Just some thoughts of my own and others that I jotted down...

- numerous broken or inoperable windows around the studio (one of
which already caused Leon's accident) which should be fixed soon since
it already gets freezing cold at night

-lack of construction document training for first years w/o arch.
backyard (a concern that Montalba - our Construction teacher - also
shared)

- desire for more coordination among first year teachers, e.g.
repetitive assignments or inefficient order/sequencing of lessons
(for example, learning Illustrator or AutoCAD in Computers class
almost a month after it was practically required for the Studio
course) -- some of the more apparent relationships are computers +
studio and bldg construction + structures

- inability of our Technical Support to actually support our needs:
for example, I've been waiting on a response to a trouble ticket for
almost a month regarding LAN ports being opened up in studio ... other
students have had little success getting timely responses from them as
well
