everybody gets and when they are. Like if there were some kind of round table, if all the social chairs sat down and picked dates. MODERATOR: Well that’s what the presidents do every semester is sit down and plan out the Greek life calendar. They plan out when they want crush parties, when they want to use the bars. And that’s why we’re running into problems is when they planned it, they planned on having two bars. As long as people stick to it we should be fine. F4: I heard that people have been violating it without Lighthouse. F1: Even if you look at the Greek life calendar I think there’s three crush parties the same night next weekend even with Lighthouse that’s not going to happen if there’s only one place for us to go. MODERATOR 2: If there was a live band on Mondays would WSOE or SUB want the expectation of having to do that? M2: I think if we had that expectation it would be nice to have money to do that. We can only do so much without money. The Chapel Hill scene is great but we can only use that resource so many times. So if we’re expected to bring in a live band every week, we could do it but we’d need the money to do it. M1: I know we built in a Lighthouse fund into our budget to think ahead to having this space available. MODERATOR 1: Along with reservations, what’s a fair time frame? F4: I think if we all sat down that would be fair. F1: Is it for the whole year or what? F4: Yeah F1: I think they should do it by semester and have not just the presidents because all these dates keep popping up for us and I have no clue. F4: Even when we had a schedule people lost out because of everything. We had nights scheduled at West End that we lost when everyone scrambled around for dates. I think everyone should get three nights to do their parties that are disbursed around, keep it simple. MODERATOR 1: What about a porch? F2: I really don’t care but it would be hard to have guys coming in and out to smoke and girls coming in and out to smoke. MODERATOR 1: So what type of changes to the building do you want to see? MODERATOR 2: Like if this building was completely demolished. F2: Like a dancing stage. You couldn’t dance on the stage here like you can at West End. F4: It would be cool to have a stage for bands. F1: If there were two stages and have it leveled a little bit so there’s one part for dancing and one for the band. F2: Like the height of the one at West End, I think the height of that one could potentially be good. I think a couch would be cool, I think it could cause problems with girls passing out, well not only girls passing out but guys passing out too. F1: I just feel like it would get ruined a lot easier, it would be hard to keep it nice. F2: Yeah you would get beer spilled all over it, etc. F1: I like those tables over there, they’re nice. Cause West End has that area where you can sit down and hang out. Anything like that would be good. M2: I think if you were going to have couches it would have to be in a different room. Because I know the zone is a big problem because people are sitting down when the band playing and you’re like what the
