   • Facilities (Marlen Kanagui of Snowbourn): Residential Dining will soon come and make a presentation. Thinking about getting peepholes in Phase 3’s. Facilities would still like to see what we could do about the ashtray problem. We’d like to see corkboards in the dorm rooms like Mesa Court has, in order to prevent damage to walls. Thinking about proposing that vacuums get put in every hall for the RAs to check out to their residents.
