Services & Activities report from Tom Mercado
Services & Activities fee collection is mandated by the Legislature. The money
collected from S&A fees are allocated by a 10-member student board to student
groups, KAOS, Child Care Center, CPJ, S&A Administration, CRC and the Emergency
Loan Program. In past years, S&A has partnered with the College on a number of
projects, including lending the College $103k in the late 1980’s. S&A moneys paid
for the 3rd floor expansion of the CAB Building, the Organic Farmhouse, the KAOS
expansion, expansion of the community gardens, part of the composting project and,
most recently, part of the Campus Children’s Center construction. S&A conducts a
survey on a regular basis to find out what students want. The last survey included
student suggestions for more lounge/hang-out spaces, information kiosks, more
computer spaces, study spaces, and a space with a microwave and refrigerator.

Food Services report from Collin Orr
We are currently in the 3rd year of a 3-year contract with Bon Appetit; we have yet
to make this arrangement fiscally viable. Our current facility is inefficient; on busy
days, there are long lines at the food counters and the register. We also do not
have enough seating. The Food Services Workgroup is developing a long-range plan
for food services on campus, including looking at issues of customer service; social
responsibility; selection, hours and facility; and financial stability. We are
currently working on a contract with the University of Washington to help us with
our plan. We are considering several plans, such as a food court arrangement. We
are considering having late hours in the new Café in Seminar II that will help
accommodate our evening students.

that is instant and effective;

Enrollment growth plan report from Steve Hunter
A long-range enrollment-planning group will begin meeting in Winter 2004. This
