Two headlines in today's crimson white grabbed my attention:
1. Industrial Engineering Department to be cut down
Why on the earth should they do that? What I inferred was that declining student enrollment was the most critical factor in this decision. Is Institutional Operation pure business now? Should not authorities take some initiatives to increase the enrollment, rather than just cutting the department off? I have not seen any campaign taken in this regard in last 2 yrs. Is it fair on authority’s side to just turn their face away on important aspect of engineering? Does money always outweighs everything else?
2. Feguson Parking lot to be Resident Parking
Ferguson Parking lot is the most widely used parking lot by commuters due to its proximity to ACU, SupeStore, USPS etc. Even though it’s such a big parking lot, still we have to fight to get space in there. And now it’s going to be Faculty/Resident only parking starting this fall. Needless to say all the other parking lots are as full as they can be. So now are we commuters going to find any space in the campus to park?
It is the time for student communities to raise their voices. It is time to show that officials should take students concerns seriously, after all its all about students.
ROLL TIDE!!

True...
I admire the way IE students reacted to the news. They managed to get 1700 signatures on the petition opposing change. Praveena used to tell me the departmental activities to show their protest. But nothing worked though.
And about Resident parking lot:
I think it is one of the imp. parking lot of UA. So many students use it. Ferg,Houser,MIB, bevill, AIME. That is one more unkind decision taken by UA.
yaar paraking lot hatake dimag ka dahi kar denge yeh log...
