President Gamble: Bring Back The Dance
Student funds should be used to pay for events the students want, such as Fall Ball and Boo Bash, even if there is low attendance.
Why is this important?
The dances thrown by the school are being cut this year due to "low attendance". Attendance at the dances is one of the highest attendance rates of events on campus. As a double major in the College of Fine Arts, there are few events on campus that fit into my schedule that allow me to socialize with students from other colleges. By not funding the dances, students are going to be less likely to attend other events on campus. This "low attendance" of other events is going to cause more and more events to be cut from our extracurricular schedules until we have nothing but fraternity parties to attend.
