Resident Student Association
President's Report to Senate - April  29, 2002

1)       Issues

Currently handling these issues:

• Safety of crossing at Dana and Herald. City of Cincinnati Traffic Engineering is now evaluating a proposal to place a painted median at the crossing.
• Laundry. We will be surveying residents in the fall (during move-in) about the possibility of going to a fee-based laundry. We’ll use the results in addition to other input (if necessary) to propose a plan prior to fees being set.
• Smoke-free buildings. Residence life conducted a survey on going smoke-free during the housing lottery this Spring. Taking into account the results and opinions of the community councils, RSA is supporting buildings being completely smoke-free. Currently there are a few smoking rooms in Husman.
• Voice mail. Natasha Hamilton pursued with Steve Weissenburger and Ava Jean Fiebig acquiring voice mail for all residents on the University phone system. The project is currently awaiting a review by Ava of the current resident technology budget and other funding sources.

2)       Programming

RSA Bingo had an outstanding attendance of 316 on Friday.
