Western State Is Getting a new Student Union

It is always fun to have freshmen in my classes. The idea that there is an office that handles tickets and fan stuff and balllons and other student store stuff is totally amazing to Freshmen,

When they go to the SBO the Student Body Office, they are amazed. The first encounter is usually when they need a student ID card. If they didn't go to roundup, they need to go the SBO to get a photo ID. More than one student has asked me if they may go to the SOB to get something. Well we all know what an SOB is...

Western State College, Sue and may alma mater and my parents alma mater is building a new Student Union. It will be their SBO. You may watch its construction on web cam from the link provided below. Here is a little article I lifted about it from their website.

Library North West

This unit is mounted on the north west corner of the Savage Library. This camera displays live full-motion video and is user-controllable. This camera rotates nearly 340°, and we've established some commonly visited presets to give you quick one-click access to good views of Crawford Hall, the Gym, and the Student Union. We mounted this camera right on the corner of the Savage Library building, so your view is truly 270°, from the west door to the lower level of the library, up hill to the Escalante complex and then along the north wall of the library building. Beginning in the summer of 2008, the College Union will be replaced. So you'll have a great view of the progress of this project, from demolition to foundation to steel to walls to landscaping. We'll be capturing images every day and preparing a time lapse movie of this exciting project to show at the grand opening of the new union in January 2010.
