Today, at the SUS edition of the AMS debate series, Sarah Naiman suggested the inclusion of green space in the new Student Union Building, this suggestion rapidly expanded to a whole green roof project. Apparently, some architects have included a landscaped area where a roof would be normally be found. Words cannot express how excited I am at the prospect of our new Student Union Building being created in the form of a chia pet. Maybe the problem I really have with the concept is that it means all my current hopes and dreams for the new S.U.B will never reach fruition. I have many ideas for what the new one will be like. One might even say I fantasize about it. One such fantasy involves a student union building with pressure triggered, light up floors, just like in the “smooth criminal” video. I imagine the fun that would be had by my compatriots and I as we played hop scotch or simply danced vigorously on those sweet, luminescent tiles. If that is not considered feasible, we could also entertain the idea of a student union building/aquarium which utilizes large fish-tanks as walls. It would be just like pimp-shoes… but in building form. With all of these fantastic ideas I’m sure you’re wishing I was running for VP Admin, so that I could bring my personal touch to the upcoming project. Fortunately, I have meditated heavily on the green space concept, and I have realized that the problem is that it simply does not go far enough. I propose the AMS make a bold statement and take our S.U.B in a distinctly “Sherwood Forest” direction. I’m talking a tree fortress with bamboo elevators, and an elaborate security system involving ditches dug into the ground and then meticulously covered with doors made of woven fallen leaves. We could spend what we would have doled out on flat screen TVs on something really useful like a moat. And everyone knows that nothing satisfies a student body like a good moat.
