Make Money Money Make Money Monaaaay

As the end of the semester rolls around and students begin to freak out about exams and papers and projects etc. there is a building on campus that gradually becomes busier and busier every day. Hundreds of students flock to Fondren library in the evening to sit in a cubby and attempt to bust out all their work. Adderal in their system and computers open either taking notes or creeping on someone's facebook. As many excuses as SMU has to continuously charge students for ridiculous things like parking tickets and the like I'm surprised they haven't started charging admission to Fondren. Imagine how much more money the school could make off the students if they even charged two dollars a day for entrance fee. It's not like they need it, or any other money after the tuition since all of it seems to go to putting up new buildings and fountains every other day. I understand that SMU has to pay it's faculty a good sum of money but is the millions of dollars spent on the boulevard and all the grounds really necessary. I feel like SMU could use some of its money for a better use. Maybe starting a new program for special needs students that are capable and willing to get a good education but just need a little extra time and help. Just a thought.
