Laptops in the Library
I would like to see electrical outlets in all of the study carols in the library. I would like to be able to charge my laptop in easily and use it in lieu of the computer labs. However, it is difficult since there are so few plug-ins available in the library.

Forwarded to - Thomas Peischl, Dean of Library Services

Response - The library is remodeling continuously - look for big changes over the summer!

Lack of Parking
I have been a student for quite a while at CWU and have always driven from Yakima to Ellensburg for class every year. This year I decided to purchase a CWU yearly parking pass. It saved some money because it's discounted for the yearly purchase. However, this quarter my first class (not my choice) starts at 11:00am and the parking pass that I purchased is utterly useless at that particular time. I have tryed showing up early, late, or in the middle and there just isn't enough parking at that time of day, ever. I usually have to either park illegally (as the city doesn't let you park on residential streets) or I'm late for class waiting for someone that just happens to be leaving, gets into a car that's by were I'm at, and pulls out. I know that it's a college campus and we just have to deal with certain things, but I think if the number of permits sold was reduced there wouldn't be such a hassel for students like myself. I've had my first class at all times a day

Response - Let me assure you that there is adequate parking at CWU. If you want a parking space I would suggest parking in N-20 Lot near the music building. Also parking is available in X-12 lot near the Stadium. Hope this will be of some help to you.

CWU Satellite Campus issues
I am a student at your Des Moines Satellite Campus. I would appreciate it if the staff hired to serve us at the extended branches was more accommodating. I am often treated rudely at Green River Community College. I know that myself and other students feel like were are "annoying" the staff for CWU and are a "burden" to them. It would be great if someone would let them know that we do not appreciate being treated poorly and that their job is to be helpful. Often, we are so out of touch with the main campus. We would just like someone who actually devotes time to our concerns and is kind about it.
