COMMENTS?                                  

·         All of the athletic teams get so much assistance from the school, will the rodeo team every get any money or assistance

·         Although I am not participating in any of the sports, I feel alright contributing to the fund.  I understand that there are necessary expences in order to have these sports at UMC.

·         As a commuting student who lives farther than 60 miles away, I do not take advantage of this service.

·         Coaches should not lie about scholorship dollars to athletes.  Gym time is not efficient.  If non athletes are paying $54 they should have substantial open gym time year round because this money is a yearly fee.

·         Division 2 athletics need funding to make the teams competitive with scholarships.  We have come far, but we still need a lot.

·         Don't attend many sporting events

·         Don't care about sports!!!!!!!!!!!!!

·         Funding for most sports is Extremely inadequate.  Some sports (spring Sports) are getting absolutly nothing for equipment, because football and other fall and winter sports are getting the majority of the money.

·         I am a non-traditional student that only attends classes at UMC and am not involved in sports.  I feel I should not have to pay for those who are involved in sports.  I am not opposed to sports but $54 is a large amount.

·         I am disappointed in the unsportsman like behavior of many of the men's basketball players as well as the coach.  A few specific players are exceptionally great sportsmen.

·         I am dissatisfied with this because I am an Equine student who competes at a collegiate level against other colleges for IHSA show team.  Even though we are competing at an athletic competition and promoting UMC we don't get any money for travel expenses.  Yet we still pay this money so other athletic teams at UMC can recieve money.

·         I am not an athlete on this campus and I have not gone to any of the athletic events the whole 4 years I have been here. I would rather pay at each event if I choose to go.

·         I am not invovled in athletics, why should i have to pay for the teams to travel

·         I believe athletics are very important, and we needfunding to support them. And i beieve that hypocritical &%$@*, such as xxxxxxx, should keep their tainted fingers off of our athletic funds.

·         I believe some thing is wrong.  I am a baseball play and I have to pay for my own uniform and the basketball gets a coach bus for there eleven players.

·         I believe that athletics are important and they influence the students to work harder to keep their grades up.

·         I do not particapate in these why should I pay for this?

·         I don't attend the games but I think that a minimal fee to students is not a bad idea.  I am not aware of the costs to athletes so I could not comment on that.

·         I don't believe that ALL UMC students should be REQUIRED to fund sports.  I am not in sports, do not attend any sports activities and feel I should not be REQUIRED to fund their programs.

·         I don't go to too many games - so it doesn't make much sense for me.

·         I live 100 miles from campus.  I have never attended a sporting event.  When I get done with classes, I want to get home to my family.  I think it's insane to charge nontraditional students the same as everyone else.

·         I live in Grand Forks and haven't attended a game in the 2.5 school years I have attended due to travel. I am also an older than average student and have many other activities which take up my time.

·         I rarely attend athletic events and would rather pay the fee to be admitted than to have to support something that does not affect me.

·         I really feel some of the money for athletic fees should go towards other purposes. Because the trend I have seen is it's the same people using the facilites (which is a small percentag of the campus).  Take some of this money to hire a professional yearbook committee.  To me, that would be money better spent.

·         I think having a quality athletic program is very important to the University.

·         I think it is good to have student in Free, but what about the students that don't go to the athletic events?

·         I think it is totally unfair that we have no choice in supporting the atheletics.  this is an agricultural college and I would rather pay that money to something such as NACTA where our true emphasis and abilities lie.  Let's be honest, how many students from UMC go on to be professional atheletes and for the couple that do, is it something that we should all be paying for?

·         I think that is why we get such great fan support at the athletic events.

·         I think that non sport students should not have to pay as much

·         I think the Football team get treated better than any other sport that Crookston has to offer.  I don't think that is fair

·         I think this is a lot of money for each student to pay..

·         i think you should include the Intercollegiate horse show team in the UMC athletics.

·         I usually don't attend athletic events

·         I'll comment once regarding the fees in general versus individually.  I do not like the fact that every student is basically forced to subsidize the activities of others. Why, for example,should I be forced to pay for someone's child care needs?

·         If students want to play sports they should cover their own expenses.  Other students shouldn't have to pay for them to have fun.  Judging teams don't receive any money.  We have to pay our own expenses for every judging trip we go on.  How many people graduate and go on to play professionally?  We are here to learn not play sports.  If students want to go to games let them pay to get in.  If we don't attend games why should we have to pay a fee, pay at the door.

·         If we did not have athletics at this college our enollerment of full time students would decrease 30-60 percent

·         It is not a fair fee for those of us that don't participate with the sports programs and or go to the games.

·         It's a good cause, but is it really worth that much per student?  I can't imagine.

·         Like I give a %$#^&% about sports!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

·         Need better equipment in the weight room.   The nautilius machines are in dire need of replacement.  There should be a lot better equipment in there.

·         None at this time.

·         Sports at UMC are a crucial part to the University. UMC athletes make up nearly half the students of this university. I think this fee should increase a little bit.

·         The athlets can raise there own money.  Clubs have to!!!

·         The fee is to high, why is it so with the amount of students on campus?

·         The Football feilds and Basketball Courts are great. I like are uniforms. I think our weight room for a University is kind of sad...I've seen many a highschool with nicer facilities. BUt I would also argue our weight room has everything you need to be successful in your training.

·         the price is a little high

·         the Teams never win - why? do they need better coaching? or more school support? There seems to be no school spirit here - I think this would help the teams to have fellow students supporting them

·         The weight room looks like we could get tetnus. more money to them would mean a better facility. Inturmural is a great way to have fun, but people take winning there seriously and sometimes a person might not know anyone on a team, and they don't get to participate.

·         There should be an increase in the cost a couple of dollars per student in order to improve athletic facilities. Need to modernize the facilities in order to compete in the recruiting of students and student athlete's. This University has to push to spend more money, which in return will generate more money from more students enrolling.

·         This fee seems a little high for me, the only part that I use is the swimming at the public pool and I don't like paying $54 for just that.

·         This is great, most colleges pay to get into their sporting events. The main U and UMD all have to pay to go to the hockey games so we have it good.

·         USe some mosey to get a seated row machine in the weight room. Or fix the one that is there.

·         We should not have to pay for this fee.  Some students don't have anything to do with sports.  The atheletes should have to pay this %$&#$ if they want it.

·         Why should I have to help pay for athletic equipment?  Do the athletes help pay for things needed by ag. students?

·         why should we pay for them.  They get all the scholarships and non athletes get nothing.

·         With the increase in student enrollment, was there an increase in funding for the teams?

 

4.      STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE ($24.75). Fee provides total funding for this service including nurse's salary, medical services and supplies, and contract for physician.

COMMENTS?                                  

·         that is the only one i have used at all

·         Doctor times would be better on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Many of the classes are on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.

·         Don't use these services enough to get $24.75 out of it.

·         Everyone gets sick one time or another.

·         foods expensive at morsels, food is sometimes under par in the cafeteria

·         Haven't even spoken with the school nurse.  I also pay for my own health insurance from BC/BS of ND.

·         Here again, I do not feel that EVERY student should be charged a fee for the nurse.  I pay my own medical bills from the clinic and do not feel that I should have to pay for a service I have never used or intend to use.

·         I beleive that this service is a great benefit. I use it all the time.

·         I don't need the nurse because I have a full coverage health insurance plan and I access it at the clinic in Crooston

·         I feel this should be optional, not everyone needs this service.

·         I have already used this service twice this year and have been extremly satified.

·         I have never gone to the nurse so i can't really say I like it or not.

·         I have never neede the nurses services but I think it is important to have available.

·         I haven't ever gone to the nurses office, and if anything was ever wrong, I would go to the hospital, no offense to the nurses here at UMC

·         I haven't used the services yet, but I may need to someday. Therefore, I have no problem contributing because this is a necessity.

·         I live off campus and out of town, so if I am in need of any medical care I will go see my regular physician, so paying this does not benefit me.

·         I rarely use these services

·         I really like to be able to go to the nurse and get some medication when I need it.  I think that our nurse does a good job and she has been quite helpful to me in the past.

·         I think that is great.  You never know what will happen sometimes.  It is refreshing to know someone is there for you.

·         I think that you should pay for it if you need it only.. We all have nurses and doctors that we can go to back home.

·         i think this deserves more money.   less money for int. athletics and more for this

·         I want to know why we HAVE to have health insurance!

·         I've haven't used this service much, but it's good to know it's there

·         It has been wonderful to be able to go the the nurse and get medicine and other things when I have been sick.

·         It is beneficial to have a nurse on campus but perhaps more advertising is needed as there are some students who don't know where the office is located.

·         It would be nice to have a doctor on campus all the time.  Not just once a week.

·         It's much cheaper to see a physician here than acutally going to the hospital to see one.

·         more information about

·         Most of the time when you go to the nurses office she can't do anything but get you an appointment at the Crookston clinic.

·         Never have seen the nurse, but I am guessing she is nice to have around when you are not from Crookston area

·         Never used this service

·         Never used.

·         None at this time.

·         Not enough people use this service to warrant its funding/

·         Should provide more frequent visits by the doctor during the winter.

·         Stacy does a wonderful job

·         student health at this campus is a joke compared to other campuses why should we pay for this service when all it is good for is keeping trak of our immunization records so we can register

·         Students need to be healthy to do good in their classes! One thing that would help me is if the Physician that comes to campus could come for a longer time or different times on different days - not always the same time. I have class during the time that the doctor comes to campus now. So, if I need to see him, I have to skip class.

·         The nurce benafits everyone, she does a good job

·         The nurse really dosn't do anything.  She tells us to go to the doctor.  We could have done that.

·         There is no way I get my money out of the health services.

·         this fall when the flu shots where being offered it would have been nice to recieve an email or two or three to remind us.  it also would have been a good idea to offer it at more than one time in case some students couldn't make it.

·         This is a good service.

·         This is a very good service.

·         what do we need this for.  what dowe pay health insurancefor?

·         What type of medical services do we get with this money?

COMMENTS?          

·         I wish we can get more students too attend these events , they don't know what they are missing!!!!

·         All the students should not have to ay for these things.  Some students don't go to these things.

·         Choose more program selections

·         FUN STUFF

·         Good choice of hypnotists, comedians and musicians.

·         Have not participated.

·         Haven't been involved in this area

·         I am here to get an education, not to waste valuable studying time

·         I believe these programs are important and should continue to be funded.

·         I dislike paying for things that I don't use.

·         I don't attend these events

·         I feel some of these activities are well attended while others are not.  Maybe the students should vote on an activity before it is scheduled.

·         I have been disappointed with some of the acts I have gone to see. The comedians have been terribly perverted.

·         I haven't attended one of these events yet because I would have to hang around until they start or drive back to attend.

·         I live off campus and only go to these events when there is nothing bettter to do

·         I think that there could be more activities to keep students on campus for the weekends...JOHNNY HOLMS!!!

·         I think that umc needs to hold more dances.

·         I think that we get a lot of entertainment coming to the campus.  I don't think that too many students are interested in all the events.  It's nice to have some culture but maybe decreasing the number of events but making the ones we do have bigger.  I would not be against paying a small charge to attend.

·         I would rather it be in Lysaker gym because it is easier to access for the students.

·         It gives students something to do when they are bored.

·         Make them more convienient times?  Conflicts with sports schedules suck!

·         might actually be nice to actually see some of these things, and not talking about anchient music instrument demonstrations...

·         more dances

·         More money would help get bigger and better things.

·         None at this time.

·         On the weekends there's nothing to do. and sometimes we would go on for months without a dance, and have ag- arama and snow days right after another. really need more to do

·         Same thing.  I imagine these are important and worthwhile to students who live on campus, but the rest of us shouldn't have to fund them.

·         Should be more

·         So, in other words I am paying to attend these events, even if I don't attend.  I disagree with that.  Wouldn't you?

·         some activities ae boring we like more of johny holms and dances like that

·         The only of these I am interested in is johnny I would rathe pay at the door for these then pay.  that way i only pay for what i attended

·         The student activities have improved since I first got here.  I think it is very important to have activities for students.  The committee has done a great job with things like Homecoming & Snow Daze.

·         There are many wonderful performances and activities, but attendence is dissapointing.

·         There are way too many activities goign on during the week.  Narrow it down.  How can people study and play sports and go to all these events?

·         There need to be some more events that are UMC sponsored.   Could try to get a bigger band in here at least once a year, such as tool, or another bigger name.

·         There should be more dances with Johnny Holm, because he is a big hit.

·         This cause entertains far more people than intercolligate atheletics yet recieves piddly for money.  I don't get it.

·         This is a realativly low amount for the amount of services provided.

·         This is a very inportant part on our campus.  This year has been one of the best.  Student Activities will just keep growing.  It give students some thing to do.

·         We need all the excitement around Crookston that is possible.

·         We need more activities on this campus to help bring together the students more. Ditch the whole Ag theme!

·         what noon programming?

·         Why do we have to pay for the dances, if the fees is already paid for.

·         Bede could use more LAN ports and a good renavation to bring it up to date.

·         Bede is awesome to catch up an what's going on with friends and school.

·         Bede Lounge is the one place where people can hang out with each other and just relax.

·         Bede needs major improvements

·         Coulc upgrade the futrniture in there.  More internet hookups in the lounge would be nice also.  It is a dogfight toget at them sometimes.

·         Even though I am an off Campus student and do not spend much time in Bede, I feel it is important for those students living on campus to have somewhere other than their dorms to go.

·         Everyone uses these services!!!!

·         Exelent.  THe building could be re done though and aimed at the students only.

·         I am satisfied with Bede info deck.

·         I do not use these services

·         I don't see why there is cable in the school lounge, there are much better ways to spend your valuable time on campus.

·         i don't use this much but... IT's sompin that adds to campus options and I think it's all good

·         I dont use these why should aI pay for it?

·         I have used these services between classes.  It is pretty convenient to have a nice place to go.

·         I live off campus so I do not Attend many of the activities but I do think it is important that they are provided for the students who live here.

·         I love BEDE INFO DESK!

·         I love Bede, I think that this college should have plan for a bigger and better student commons area.

·         I never use any of these services because I don't live on campus.  I sit in morsels so I don't use cable service, newspaper subscriptions or any of that.

·         I never use these services but I can see how they would be important to students who live off campus.

·         i really like having a place you can go to do finish homework or just sit and talk to friends if you have like an hour between classes

·         I think that we need t possibly up this fee because of the need s to update the Bede area and equipment.  I feel tha there are a lot of students that use this area and I think we could spend a little more money here.

·         I think this is important because it effects every student almost every day.  The newspaper subscription is nice as are the chairs and such in Bede.

·         i want to know why we have to pay for cable when all other schools almost always have free cable?

·         if we are paying a fee to purchase materials that students can rent out they should be rented out for free or a very cheap rate to students

·         It gives students to work to help pay for their bills of going to college.  It also gives people a place to relax or study or whatever anyone else what's to do.

·         Maybe put more money into this one, do some rearanging, add some things, take some out, replace stuff. Make it better.

·         need more games

·         Never use these

·         None at this time.

·         Should be more

·         The games room is great, but it is very inconvenient also.

·         There are many students that don't have a chance to use the facilities, along with being enough room for people to even enjoy themselves to sit down there and do stuff.

·         There should be a better game room. And half the time the Morsels tv, you can't even hear, so what is the point of having it one...?????

·         Whenever I go through bede, the "workers" are not doing very much.  Why are they paid to sit and do homework, and use their computers?

·         I have yet too see my year book from my freshman, sophmore, and now junior year. If we are paying for this where is it and why have we not seen them yet. I have heard from graduated students that yet have too see their year book!!!!!

·         where the %#@*% are they

·         1/2 the students that pay for the year book never get one anyways.  We should not have to pay for this.  Tuition is expensive enough without having to pay for all of these extras.  I pay all of my tuition on my own + living expenses etc.. I do not feel I should be requ!ired to pay for all of the extras.  Year books should be like High School year books... You want one, you pay for one.  If you don't want one, you don't have to pay for one.

·         Are we gonna see these yearbooks before it is too late.

·         Are we suposed to get one automatically then.

·         been here 3 years, never seen one

·         Considering I never got a yearbook from last year and well this year is almost over, I don't think they really exist.

·         Currently we are paying a fee for a service we don't receive.  I have been here 4 years and only seen one yearbook.

·         Did we ever get a yearbook?

·         do they ever even make a yearbook???

·         Do we get a yearbook?   If so when?

·         First Year, haven't seen it yet!!

·         For as many years that I have been I have only received I year book in that time.  It would be nice to get the year book from each year.

·         Get your dang act strait get these out to use every dang year we pay for them and I have been here for 4 years and have only received 1 of them that means I have payed at least 18 dollars for one that is not right

·         Have I seen a %$#*@ yearbook yet!!!  No, I don't think I have seen one.  I pay for the %$#*@; I expect the %$#*@ thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

·         Have not seen any yearbooks!

·         Havent even seen one in a while!!!

·         How come we never receive this "yearbook" that we pay for.  I haven't received one, nor have I seen one.  If I am not going to get one, then I sure don't want to pay for one!!!!!!

·         I am a Junior and have never received a yearbook yet and would like them.

·         I am a junior and i have not recieved a yearbook yet

·         I am a senior and haven't gotten a book in 2 years

·         I am a senior at UMC and I only have 1 yearbook to date. I have inquired several times about where the missing yearbooks are, especially the one from when I was a freshman.  UMC staff have told me that they had a problem with the guy who was supposed to do it or he quit that year or something like that.  I want that yearbook the most. I've paid the fee how many times and received one. What are the chances that you are ever going to mail me these back-dated yearbooks in the future after I graduate?  VERY SLIM!  I wish that the people here would get on the ball and actually put out the book or forget having it if it's all talk.  The yearbook that I want the most from this institution is from the 1996-1997 school year. Thank you for your time.

·         I am in my 4th year of school here at UMC, and I only have ONE annual, which is from my FRESHMAN year.  I have yet to receive annuals from my sophomore, junior, AND senior year. Why do you continue to charge us for annuals that we have NEVER seen?  I think it is ridiculous and you owe US money for those annuals we have not gotten!!!  That yearbook fee is just a big joke!

·         I am unaware of the benefits of this, I have heard we are not provided with a yearbook, and that one is not available.

·         I don't get a yearbook, so why am I paying for this.

·         I have attended UMC for 2 and a half years and haven't gotten a year book yet! Where is that money going???????????????????????

·         I have been a student here for 5 years and only recieved 2 yearbooks during that time.

·         I have been a student here for three years.  Where are the yearbooks?  If I am going to pay for another yearbook, I should recieve it along with the other two that I have not recieved.  I am very dissatisfied.  Students should have a choice about yearbooks if they are not going to be distributed to students.  Please e-mail me at xxxxxxxxxx if you know where the yearbooks are available.  Thanks!

·         I have been here for three years and never got a yearbook. Why are we paying for something that we don't get.

·         I have been here for three years and still haven't even received a single one, it is quite rediculus, and I really could care less to receive one, because by the time I do, I'll probably be out of school for many years.

·         I have been here for two years.  I have not recieived a yearbook....??? Where is this money going??

·         I have been really dissatisfied with having to pay the fee for the yearbook.  This is my fourth year here at UMC and I have recieved ONE yearbook.  This was the yearbook from my freshman year.  When are we going to recieve the other ones?  This has upset me and I KNOW a lot of my friends on campus.  It would be nice to actually get something we are paying for.

·         I have never seem one.

·         I have only heard talk about a year book but have never seen one.  I think it! is absurd that we are charged this money but have never received one.

·         I have only recieved one yearbook out of the 4 years I have attended here.  Why pay for it if you don't ever recieve it

·         I have paid for this one and I have never once seen a yearbook. Are we supposed to get a yearbook, when we pay this fee..man could have fooled me...never even see it!  So, it pretty much sucks that we pay for something and then don't get anything.

·         I have yet to receive a yearbook, and I've been here 3 years

·         I haven't gotten my Freshman year book yet and I am I junior.  My roomates just got thier freshman one and they are seniors? How to you plan to track all of us down once we graduate to get our yearbooks???  I think this is a very important thing escpecially since we are paying the fee I think we should get all of them and soon.

·         I haven't received a yearbook yet and I pay for one; that is really %$@#%*!!!!!!!!!

·         I know many people, of which I am one, that has never had there picture taken since their freshman year.  But, I still need to pay for a book I am not in and never see.

·         I love yearbooks.

·         I pay this fee and I have never seen a year book.

·         I see the yearbook fee on my bill, but i have never seen or even heard anyone talk about any yearbook. The bottom line is, if I'm paying for it, I want one.

·         I think that people should be able to choose if the want a yearbook or not and the people that do can pay the extra fee for it.

·         I wish they would send out the yearbooks

·         I would be all for paying maybe $7-10 and receiving a professionally done year book that is distibuted back the same year.

·         I've been hear 4 years and I've only gotten one year book!!!

·         I've never even seen a yearbook in the 3 years that I've been at UMC.  Where is the money really going>?

·         If we're paying a yearbook fee, how come we don't get yearbooks.  I know that I pay a fee but I would like a yearbook if there is one because I would like to be able to remember the people that I go to school with.

·         Need to give the year

·         None at this time

·         Paid to recieve a yearbook for the last three years and have only recieved one yearbook so far.  If you pay for this service they should atleast send you the book.

·         Since we haven't even got a yearbook in the past few years, I don't think we should have to pay a yearbook fee at all!!  In fact the school should give us money back for the yearbooks that we have not gotten.

·         Still havne't gotten mine from my freshman year and now i am a JUNIOR!

·         That is a little much for a yearbook.

·         That is not a bad price to pay at all, but this is my fourth year here, and I have received ONE year book.  If we have to pay this fee we should get our yearbooks at least by the end of the spring semester.

·         The year book takes way too long definately. I still have not seen my year from my freshman year. what takes so long??

·         The year books I have seen are cheep looking. Make a class out of it and give a credit, charge a little more and get a better quality book from it.

·         This is a very serious issue with me, I have been here for three years and have yet received a yearbook.  Some is very incompodant is getting the year books out or completed. If I do not get year books by the time I graduate, I will expect money back.  Its not right otherwise.  Would you expect different.

·         this is my third year here and i still have not recieved a %$@#%* yearbook, i think it is important but it is a real crock of %$@#%* cuz we never get it.

·         This is terrible, I have been here for four years and have gotten only 1 year book. Something needs to happen

·         Took me three years to get my first one from my freshman year, and I haven't gotten another one since.

·         VERY DISSATISFIED!!! I have been here for FOUR years and have only recieved 1 yearbook. That is $13.50 that I have paid and not received anything for it. Where has this money gone?? I don't think yearbooks are that important in college. Stude!nts usually take their own pictures at events and things anyway...

·         What do we get out of it?

·         what yearbook

·         what yearbook? ive been here three years, and never have gotten nor even seen a UMC Yearbook!

·         WHAT YEARBOOK?????  I THINK WE ALL HAVE BEEN PAYING THE MONEY, BUT HAVE SEEN NO PRODUCT.

·         What yearbook?????????

·         When are we going to get them???

·         When do we get the yearbook?  And where do we pick it up? I have never seen a yearbook in the three years I have been here.

·         When do we get them?

·         When do we get them??

·         When do we get them????

·         WHERE ARE OUR YEARBOOKS??  I haven't gotten one since 97'  Get rid of this fee if we don't get a yearbook ever!

·         Where are the annuals I have been here 3 years without recieving one.

·         Where do I pick up my yearbook which I have never received?  We pay for them so why don't we get them or get an email to let us know where to pick them up.

·         where in the heck is this yearbook.  i have been here for two years now and  i have yet to see one.  we are always paying for one but i dont ever see it.  i am very dissatisfied about this!

·         Who cares about yearbooks?

·         would be nice if we saw the yearbook!

·         Yearbook, I haven't seen one yet! Why pay for a yearbook that we don't get??

·         A little PR money would be a world of good.

·         Don't know exactly what student forum does!!

·         How well do they do for this college. How many trips are we paying for compared to how many people they get to come to college here.

·         I don't pay attention to the student forum

·         I never hear anything happening with this - If there is some one traveling and representing the school I don't know wh it is and what they've been doing - this is important and e should be inrformed about this

·         I really don't know or see that progress they are making for UMC, so I don't understand the importants, maybe you should inform us better...

·         I think the student forum is a joke!!  I attend every full board meeting, and i've never really seen anything accomplished.  I think it's nothing more than a popularity contest.

·         If UMC were more liberal we would see first hand how important this fee is.

·         If we ever want or need something and we need to go to a higher official to get what we need.  It important to get there.

·         Need more money to cover the expenses and stipends.

·         None at this time.

·         Not worth the money

·         Should be more

·         Student forum is worthless, and nothing gets accomplished. It is a popularity contest when it comes to replacing officers who have had to resign mid term for some reason.

·         Student Forum should not have to pay for transportation unless it is to an extra curricular activity.

·         these representatives dont suport what the students want.

·         They do a very good job

·         They don't do anything

·         They make decisions concerning the university

·         why do we have to pay for this stuff, when we don't know what it is going for or the things that are going on half the time.

·         Adds color to the campus

·         Don't use these either.

·         Great.

·         h

·         How many people use that?

·         I don't use these services

·         I dont have time to do this why pay for it?

·         I have never seen these tickets offered to students.

·         I haven't seen anything about that stuff.

·         I think that is great.

·         I would not take advantage of most of these programs.  If we do end up paying for it I think that having a card to use when ordering tickets to get our discount would be better.

·         I'm not sure how this affects me as a paying student

·         Like I said before, some students don't go.

·         N/A

·         no one really is interested in them

·         Nobody really goes to these things unless there teacher is giving extra credit.

·         None at this time.

·         not sure what the year book is

·         some of the entertainers this University brings in are HORRIBLE. there should be a student board screning the talent brought in.

·         this is all good for those in liberal arts! but i is not me and i think that if they want these you should pay for them by yourself.

·         We could expand the students horizons a little more.  Introduce them to the arts for free.  Do more in this area.

·         again dont do it why pay for it?

·         Again I don't care about sports!!!!!!!!!!!!!

·         Another One I don't give a %$@#%* about!!!!!!!!!!

·         Do I have to repeat my self

·         don't need it I think money should be paid to give the students free cable

·         Don't participate in Intramurals.  I am glad they are available for people to get in volved with!

·         Gives students the chance to play the sports they love, especially if they weren't good enough to make a team if they tried out and failed to make the team.

·         Here to learn, not play

·         I am not interested in intramurals and wish not to have to pay for it...

·         I don't play intramural sports

·         I don't take advantage of intermurals but I know some students really like it.  But maybe they should have to pay a small fee to play.

·         I feel that the students in sports should be paying for all of the sports activities.

·         I think offering a variety of levels of athletics is important. So as a society we can stay fit

·         i was never in any sports in high school because i never had any time but i was just on a volleyball team and i had a great time.  it was a great way to get out and meet people and give myself a break from studying

·         Improvements are being made in this program. I am happy with the improvements made so far.

·         intramural basketball should be ran all year round with two separate seasons.

·         Intramural sports are a great way for students to get to know each other!  I had a great time this year!

·         Intramurals are a good activity for the university to have.  They are great to get out and get some exercise and socialize.

·         Intramurals have become a huge sucess and everyone seems to enjoy them and like to participate in them

·         It gets the students involved with each other and gets them out of the dorm.

·         It is good to have the program, but we are alreadying paying a sports program..Why pay for equipment when we already have equipme!nt for the program

·         It's fun!!!!

·         No supervision -results in unfair play refs need to be observed so there is no one sidedness

·         None at this time.

·         not apart of

·         the students should be more aware of these programs.

·         there are many students that do not participate in these events, I have found that it is always people that play another sport nad those of us that just want to use the gym are !excluded

·         what about the kids who want to play, and yet can't get on a team cause they weren't invited or don't know anyone. people take it too seriuosly, but it gets people active

·         what equipment is actually used for the intramurals and why don't they get a budget for the things that they are using.

·         Clubs and organizations are very inportant.  It keeps students involved.  It alows them to meet new people.

·         clubs could use a little more money to go on trips

·         doesn't seem like the money is dispersed very well

·         Every one has a club but there are no clubs geared towards nontradional students. Mothers/Fathers with children that do not have time or money for daycare to spend extra time at school to participate in clubs and activities. End up paying for stuff never get to use/see or experience

·         Helps out a bunch, opens up oppertyunites for people that may not otherwise have that oppertunity

·         I am not involved with the clubs

·         I am satisfied with the club organizations.  The clubs should actually get more credit for what they do.

·         I am willing to pay more for club and organization funds.  There are more clubs then ever and if each askes for assistance little money can go around.

·         I don't think my money should go to clubs and organizations that I'm not involved in.

·         I don't think that there is enough money allocated for this catagory.  Clubs are always scrambling to find money to attend various events and usually the money comes out of the students pockets which is very costly.

·         I feel it should be more.  I think there are some good clubs. on this campus that are very deserving of grants.

·         I feel that less money should be directed towards athletes and more toward things such as this that will get us farther, by far, in life.

·         I shouldn't have to fund their parties which is what these turn into.

·         I think that we need more money for the different student clubs and with the great rise in clubs I think we should have some more money to give them for their projects and trips.

·         I think with the growing amounts of clubs that that should increase to to at least $6.00 or $7.00.  As a active participating member of various club organizations, I would like to see more available money from the Student Forum Loans and Grants Community

·         I want to see a club do something.

·         If you are in a club then you should have to fundraise if you !are going on big trips and having activities.  I was in HRI club and I didn't think it was worth the time because there wasn't enought money to do anything.

·         It seems that the Equine sponsored clubs need more attention. We as the IHSA should be cosidered a sport recognized as much as basketball or any other sport. It is a very demanding sport with just as athleticism as the next sport. We deserve to be recognized!

·         Maybe the loans and grants commity should be make of represenatives of clubs.  Our club has been %$@#%* everytime!!!

·         Most of the things (that I know of) are good learning experiences in the fields that people are going into.

·         need to increase fee due to more clubs being added.

·         None at this time.

·         not everyone is in a club or organization. That's their choice.

·         should be a club for arts-interested people--music, theater, poetry,ect.

·         should give more money to the organizations

·         should give more to this part.

·         There are more clubs and  not enough money

·         They are a club and they can raise their own money... I don't want to pay for them to go on trips or activities...

·         This should be upped to $5 as the number of clubs has increased.

·         We need some kind of money to help us get through college and not be broke forever.

·         Why should students fund other clubs and organizations?

·         with all the new clubs and orginizations I think loans and grants should get more money

·         Although I haven't been informed of what they have lobbied for.

·         are we as students actually finding out what is going on when these students come back or are they just being adressed to the forum.

·         Don't know anything about this topic.

·         how do they represent us? how can we talk to them about how we feel things are handled here. there are a lot of students that want to express how they feel things are handled here and there is no one to listen to thme and if there was we don't know how to contact them

·         I think that if there is a subject that students are very upset about I don't feel that we should have to pay $3.00 just to be heard.

·         I think that it would be ok to up this fee as well. Most students do not know wat this fee is for.

·         I do not believe UMC students get what they pay for concerning SLC.  One day of lobbying hardly paid for by SLC, I KNOW 6 dollars a year can be spent other! ways at UMC with much greater benifit.  (Club and Organizations for example could use that money for trips and other activities.

·         I'm going to lobby days this year to help lobby for the Kiehle renovation.  This is an importan!t fee.

·         I've never heard of anything being done, or accomplished.  If so, cou!ld we as students please be informed?  We pay these fees, and never hear of there benifit.

·         I've not been informed about this either

·         Joas works his butt off so work with him.

·         never even heard of this sound like a cheap way to soak us students even more

·         None at this time.

·         Not really well informed on the subject!

·         The school can pay for this if they want it, we don't see anything being done anything, so what is the point!! If we pay for it, it would be nice to see something done..

·         this does not support the students best interest at all.  a good case of this was the calander committee.  when us the students were not even able to vote on a late start.  i am sure that not every!one on the committee wanted an early start.

·         This should remain an optional fee.

·         What are they doing for us???

·         Why make it optional?  Pathetic.  This should be manditory if I have to pay for the vollyballs and clubs that I don't participate in.

·         Again I think this fee could be boosted up a little bit so that !we can start to build a better quality fitness center. I say this with the future in mind.  I we hope to build a new fitness facility in the future I think we should try to spread out the cost of the new equipment.

·         Better sound system, and TV!!!  TVTVTVTVTVTVTVTVTVTVTVTVTVTV

·         Don't use

·         Equiptment is average, need new lat machines and more wieghts

·         Hard to find hours when they are open.  Sketchy.

·         However I never use the fitness center maybe this could be available and those interested could purchase it.

·         I believe that the fitness center should be open during the weekends later, like until midnight.  This gives students other choices to do other than par!tying or being bored.

·         I don't know how satisfied I am.  It's kind of hard being a girl going up to the weight room when the football players or just guys in general are up there most of the time.  A few more stairmasters or treadmills would be an improvement because people have had to wait for them before.  I don't use the gym all that often but these are things I have heard from people also.

·         I have no time

·         I haven't used this facility because in order to find out when I would be able to go there I have to walk over the!re and check it out.  If there is info on the school web site I was unable to find it.

·         I know many students that choose to pay for a membership at the fitness center down town because they are unsatisfied with the fitness center on campus. However, I do not use either.

·         i love going up to the weight room but there isnt a lot of stuff to choose from

·         I really wish the fitness center were open at 5am so that students, even off campus students, could work out before school in the morning.

·         I think our money should be going toward immproving facilities rather than for a new stereo system.

·         Increase the fitness center fee, and get some new equipment.  Like I said above, the equipment %$@#%*.!  There needs to be some better Nautilius machines.  Anything with Chains should be out of there.  Plus, how can you expect to have first rate sports programs with a second rate weight room?

·         IT has what I need...but it could be Nicer,   BIGGER

·         It is nice to have a place to go work out when you are stressed or whatever.

·         it would be nice to know where it was.  it is never advertised and i dont know what even goes on there.

·         more stepper or bikes that work

·         Need a new treadmill, or two.

·         need better equipment

·         need more money

·         Need new equipment and needs to be cleaned once in a while!!!

·         need new treadmill

·         Need some new equipment!

·         Need to update equipment, some of it is getting old and worn down!!

·         need to update some of the machines in the weight room and improve the look of it as well

·         No updated equipment and a dismal atmoshpere to workout. Should be considered to be remodeled. Believe it or not that does sell the campus. SO do athletics...amazing isn't it!

·         None at this time

·         not using should not have to pay for it

·         Our equipment i!s old some things need to be repaired.  We need to have a b!etter area to work out in that is bigger and has better equipment.  If I pay student workers then they should clean the place up.  I've never seen anyone clean up there.

·         Our fitness center is low on anaerobic equipment and the other weights and machines are junk!  Plus, its a! dirty area.  One treadmill for about 10 people that try and use it.

·         rusted wieghts, o!ut dated equipment, it's dirty

·         Should have more treadmills!

·         should have newer equipment, so an extra dollar or so on the fee would make a huge difference in the budget, and make it possible for the people running the fitness center to buy better newer equipment, and keep it up nicer

·         should only be paid by those that use it

·         Sometimes the hours of operation are sketchy, unreliable, and hard to identify. Sometimes there is a line to use the treadmill, but that is to be expected. I wish the actual gym were more available, for running laps inside, shooting basketballs, etc.  Thank you for your time.

·         The equipement in the wieghtroom is very outdated, and needs replacing. More equipement is also needed. If out athletics are expected to get better and grow, this college needs to update its wieght room!

·         The equipment is below standard.  It would be great if we could get a couple more treadmills.  If there were more cardio equipment I would use the fitness center more often.  I get frustrated waiting for the one and only treadmill all the time.

·         The equipment is geared more for males than for females.  Also, everyone wants to be on the treadmill, there should be at least one more.

·         The equipment up there is old and most of the time there is no student worker watching the Fitness Ceter...?!?!?! I don't see my money being use!!

·         The fitness center is a joke!  Again why should i pay for a facility that mainly athletes use?

·         The fitness center is filthy and needs major improvements.

·         the fitness center is too old and small, to be competitive into the future in the NSIC drastic improvements in the equipment are necessary

·         The fitness center needs 2 new treadmills. it could also use an upgrade on the weight lifting equipment

·         The weight room is a very important place but the benches are getting all ripped up and the place is so dirty.

·         The weight room is not kept clean.

·         The Weight room needs better Equipment

·         There is a lot of room for improvement to the fitness center.  There is definately a need for more aerobic machines.  I know that first hand.  It's hard to find a time when no one else wants the ONE treadmill, ONE bike that works, or the stairsteppers.  With our school changing to Division II, we are attracting more athletes and I think that we should recognize that and put some more money up there and fix it up.

·         There should be better equipment to use sent we are paying this fee. Because the Weight Room isnt all that for a University.

·         This is horrible. There needs to be alot more money allocated to the fitness center if things are going to improve, that place is a dump. it needs to be cleaned and the equipment is from the 1960's maybe its time to invest in the athletic teams if we are ever going to be good!21!!!!!!

·         Those of us who want to use it never can because it is always filled with football player or basketball players.  I don't want to try to workout with all of them there.

·         We have a center that is open for us.  Wish someone would let us know where and when it is open and what it consists of.

·         We need more cardio equipment up there.

·         We need more equipment!!

·         We need new equipment and something for women up there. I also think you should have another tredmil up there.

·         We need some new equipment

·         We need to make this better. A lot of people want to use this but it is a!lways so busy and there is not enough equipment for people to use. The area is too small and needs a better location.

·         weight room needs lots of work

·         Where is this money going? I have not see any improvements to the center.

·         Why pay if you don't need it

·         Yes we need new supplies and more room.

·         You should get your swimming pool fix.

·         Children are our future.  ANything that we can do to promote healthy relationships between parents and children are worthwhile

·         great program but why do we have to pay for it if we dont have kids?

·         I do not have children, this does not benefit me.

·         I do not use this service

·         I don't have a child why should I have to pay for someone that does! Parents that have childern can pay for their own childern....Or that ever program and activities they are in..

·         I don't have any children - but I live above te center - Its anoying  (parking and we have to walk outside to get to the laundry room - that really %$@#%* when its raining or really cold out

·         I dont have kids why pay for this

·         i dont really have any imput on this because i dont have kids here

·         I have three children and have only once during my four years at UMC been able to have my child in the daycare.  There has never been room.

·         i pay enough money for other peoples children with my tax dollarsy if they are dumb enough to not have family planning and have children when they can afford to have a child.  i hate to pay for other peoples irrisponsibility.  i can only imagine how usele!ss my comments are in this situation though

·         I think that this should actually be important to evryone

·         I think the students with partents should be paying this fee and not rest of us.

·         I've never seen anything advertised about this and I think that if there is it should be open to all parents regardless if their children attend the children's center or not.

·         If the school whats to help them, that is great, but I feel I should not have to pay to keep their kids in daycare.

·         If you are dumb enough to get pregnant before college, than i don't think it should be up to me to have to pay for some of that.

·         Isn't doing much as I have only seen one event that was geared towards parents and their children.

·         It's nice to have but students should have first priority before other parents from Crookston.

·         Jesse Ventura asked a young woman "why should the whole state have to pay for your mistakes?" She was asking about more aid to help pay for childcare while the parents pursued their college education. I have no children for a very important reason--i don't want any yet. I don't want to pay for people who do. They are not my responsibility and if they cannot afford it they shouldn't have planned to have a child yet and I am not a charity pool. If they want to learn how to be the best parent they can be, more power to them, pay for it yourself though!!

·         Kids are our future.

·         Kids need something to do.

·         Make this optional because we do not have kids so we should not have to pay

·         N/A

·         None at this time.

·         People with kids should support this facility through contributions and volenteer work.

·         Should be for the one's that use it

·         Students with children need to have an inexpensive place to watch there kids.  It encourages teen moms to get a collage education.

·         the student had the child, they can pay for this service

·         This gives parents, especially mothers, the equal oppritunity to get their education taken care off. And it really shows that mothers want to to better their lives and that they want the best for their child.

·         this is a great thing for students with children

·         This should be for students with children only.

·         This should be optional

·         why are we all paying for this if not all of us need to use it?

·         Why are we paying for others children. There are other day cares, we not just give them a reduced cost.

COMMENTS?                                  

·         Again why is everybody paying for these things?

·         Didn't know we had pep band or cheerteams!?!

·         Do we have a pep band or cheerleaders?????

·         Do we have a pep band?

·         DOn't see much school spirit

·         Don't see the pep band too many places.......if EVER

·         dumb

·         I don't even see cheerteams around at games, what is the point! (the only cheerleaders that I have ever seen where the football ones, you couldn't e!ven hear any of the cheers) The program is dumb to h!ave if you can't get the students involved in the program...

·         I don't like paying for things that I do not take advantage of

·         I don't see why we have to pay for this when we don't have really a Pep Band, ch!eerteams, or a big push for people to go out for those groups.

·         I have never even seen a pep band at a game

·         I have never seen or heard anything from this fund. I am in sports and we never got anything from this. Soccer is so ignored around here, maybe if we had a little recognition people would come and watch!

·         I never see any of this.

·         I've never heard the pep band

·         If they need new stuff I think they should get it.

·         If we don't have a band program I don't think that having a pep band if very important.

·         it is okay but it could be improved

·         Let the band and cheerleaders pay for their own uniforms.

·         never even knew there was a pep band.....I guess I have heard word of it, but WHY can't we get the pep band to play for mens and womens basketball games and ect...

·         Never seen the mascot or band

·         None at this time.

·         Our cheer teams are horrible, we have n!o %$@#%* band as far as i am concerned. where is this money going??

·         School Spirit....was a cheerleader and Mascot.  There isn't a a lot of funds being put here to encourage the school spirit

·         The band program is very small and gets little attention.

·         There is no pep band????? If your going to take our money then at least get a flippin' pep band going for all home athletic events. Have some school spirit!

·         there is no umc spirit.  you need to have people that are qualified to run cheer teams and coach mascotts....for four years our cheeleaders and mascott has either been and embarresment or non existant

·         we don't even have a pep band

·         We don't have a band that plays on a consistent ba!sis. Why doesn't the band play at basketball games?  We! have had extreme difficulty permanently recruiting males and females interested in being part of cheer teams. If there is no improvement in this area of funding we should probably use our business mind and stop "throwing money" at the situation.

·         We don't have a band, we don't have cheerteams so where is this money going?

·         we don't have a pep band. so where's the money going?

·         what a bunch of bull ever heard of a fund raiser

·         What band, i thought we use a high school band.

·         What pep band?  Regal hasn't been here at all this year.  There is no traveling cheer team.  No cheerleaders either.

·         What pep band? What trips do the Regal mascot go on?

·         What pep-band?

·         What pepband??

·         Where are they??  Never see them why support them with our money.

·         you don't ever see any of these, so why do we have them?

·         Could use some spice in this area.  A student news paper instead of all the other small publications, perhaps.

·         I dont even get the regal report we have a hompage post it on there save a tree

·         I get to be in the calendar next year, so I think it's worth it just to show my mom! :)

·         I have no idea what this is

·         I read the Regal, but I don't think that it is a must..

·         I think it is important to find out what is going on on campus.

·         I think most of this information could be provided via email

·         it is all good for those on campus but were do you get these things when you live off campus?

·         It is now online, so why pay the fee to have it printed...plus my RA doens't get it to us unitl THursday or Firday, when half of the information is irrelavent.

·         It's a great way to get weekly info out to everyone.

·         keep up the good work

·         Make it more flashy, people don't read them all that often, seems like the same things are in there all the time.

·         Maybe if we did want to up the  fee would could look at putting togather a campus paper of some sort.  Basiccally expand the Reagl to more pages.

·         never seen a who's new publication and never knew there was a color printer for the clubs.

·         None at this time.

·         Sure

·         This publication is taking up natural resources and should be published on the web, not printed so that students can discard it in the non-recycleable trash.

·         Try not to use bright colors

·         Vary inportant. Keeps students informed on what is going on.

·         Have them insure themselves without university liability.

·         I am not involved in any clubs.  Actually, it is difficult to be involved in anything, because I have a family and I work and study.  There is no time for any activities.

·         I don't understand why we have to pay for things that we don't belong to

·         I think I should be able to pay student fee that apply to me.Not everyone at UMC. It adds up.

·         I think that our technology fee is rather high.  I believe that the computers are very important, but I feel that we should have the option to buy after our schooling is over, the fees should be part of our purchase. Thank you

·         I would just like to say that I am a senior, wife and mother of three working towards my bs. I have never been able to take advantage of the activities my money has been going towards for the fact that i do not have the time nor is any of the activities geared towards unconventional students.  I believe that because distance students do not have to pay this fee, then maybe individuals such as my self should not have to pay the fee also.

·         I'm not sure what is all covered with the insurance but the clubs definately need the insurance.

·         If the club is not suported by the student body, what is the point of having it, if only a few people are in it. What is liability insurance for clubs, what are they liable for..?

·         Let the club members pay for their own insurance

·         Like I said some people aren't in clubs.

·         None at this time.

·         Not realy sure what this is.

·         ok, i guess

·         ONLY Pay if you are in a club.

·         This insurance is important, and it is nice that the clubs don't have to worry about getting their own insurance.

·         This is a good thing.

·         This may also need to be bumped up with the greater number of new clubs.  I do not know what insurance is needed or what it costs.

·         Why should the students pay for car or bus insurance? What do the school pay for?
