I recently became a Student Senator at my local community college. As part of the senator requirement, I must take part in a "Senator Project," in which the board member organizes or plays a role in an activity that improves the school. For example, one of the groups has tried to enforce a "25 foot from the building rule" for smokers, or tried to setup other alternatives for our smoking classmates. Other students used funding to buy sports equipment such as wiffleballs and flag football in the yard that students could rent out with their school ID.
Does anyone have a general idea that I can try to work on for my school? I'm not asking it specifically for my college because I feel that all schools share some of the same essential problems.
Thanks in advance.

i have always kind of hated politics, but i have also always wanted to tell a college student senator what to do...so thanks for asking.
smoking rules and trans fat bans seem to be all the rage now but if you ask me that sounds like a pretty immature project to work on...sounds like negotiating "dress-down days" in junior high.
everyone knows that the biggest scam in academia right now is college text books...it is almost as big a price-gouging rip-off as prescription drugs, yet it is somehow accepted as inevitable.
why don't you so-called "representatives of the student body" DO SOMETHING that would actually make a difference to students and work on somehow bringing down textbooks to reasonable prices???
from my experience, this would seem especially beneficial at a community college. at the one i recently attended before transferring to a four-year school there were a lot of part-time students, working full-time to pay their own way.
if you don't think my suggestion is feasible, at least try to do something substantive with your opportunity...moving smokers? gimme a break.

a small truckload of explosives should help things.
I hate community colleges. They are an unneeded transition where they treat you like a high school student with the workload of a real college.
Forget that. If i wanted stupid rules, i'd be 17 and back in public high schools, where the girls had not gotten plump, yet.

Make it a rule that everyone that smokes or smells like cig smoke when they come inside gets to get dog-piled by the football team.

Work on offering more vegan and vegetarian options for the school cafeteria/snack bar.

Have your school get real, full time, academic, tenured professors. With real degrees.

Well, I have read your question and I agree. I will talk to my aids, and I believe I can help.
