During the meeting, the committee scheduled a campus tour for the purpose of evaluating existing banner locations and considering new locations throughout campus. Locations will be selected tor different sizfTT banners of different levels of importance. According lo Barbara White, the University's architect, although the name of the BAG sub committee is the Kiosk • ommittee, the purpose of the cuiiiiiiutcc id lu evaluate and improve student organization communications "Kiosks are only one area of development and we have not yet reached consensus that a ku.sk. system will be the best solution," said White. White added that the bulletin board system has been improved bv adding more locations and standardizing the design "We are now working on the implementation of temporary banner locations." said White This helps with student events and election advertising." Senior Carolina Hernandez, a student member of the commit* tee, said she feels that kiosks are a needed addition tor the UM campus "These (kiosksI can help represent students," said Hernandez. "And if we do have locations here on campus, it would be a greal benefit for students." If kiosks are to he installed in the future, thev mav include advertising for student government campaigns, maior and minor student events, student organizations, the distribution,of student and Universitv publications, general Universitv information and a directory signage While researching the possibilities ot installing kiosks on campus for the past couple of years, the committee has studied their advantages and disadvantages about four to five times a year. Senior Raquel Russell, another student committee-member, said she feels that bv next vear this idea will come into effect. "A lot of different perspectives on the committee have held us up," said Russell "We have to agree on something that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and creative" White said that lor kiosks to work on campus, the committee must consider the location, placement and cost ot such a physical addition to the campus 'Distribution must he accessible to all students in high traffic areas said White "Placement o( all elements must be attractive while advertising is up and when it isn't AnaiataaUatflof advertising must bt^Mhflable for the stu dents to.
