A2. What is your Student Union doing for you?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- New Late-Night Diner – Over a year and a half ago, the Student Union
sent out a poll about what should go in the empty Village Space, and
our campus voted overwhelmingly in favor of the late-night dining
option. We are pleased that it is now a reality. 

What do you want it to be named? Go to
http://my.brandeis.edu/survsimp/one?survey_id=3052 and let us know.

- Advisory Committee on Firearms Implementation – Members of the
committee have been selected and confirmed. Student Union President
Shreeya Sinha ’09, Fanny Familia ’09, and Matt Rogers ’08 will be
serving on this committee that will be advising the Administration on
firearms implementation. Stay tuned for information about an upcoming
open forum on this issue. Feel free to contact any of the committee
members to provide your input.

- How can we help you? When you walk around campus and see anything
that could be improved, should be done differently, or even if you just
have general suggestions, "complain effectively" and let us know. Log on
to ItsMyStudentUnion.com and let us know how we can advocate for you.
