The student union is one of the most inviting places on campus. Maybe that's because there are people paid to invite you to the ASU's events, either way it is designed to have an appealing environment. Whether it's the design of the circular chairs where no one can actually face each other, to the balcony right next to the "Blue Coyote" formerly known as the pub, it has that look, which is meant to attract, however debatable its actual efficiency is.
The student union is also where most of college discourse goes on. People meet durning their breaks, or when they're finished with their classes and hang out with friends there. It's a daily hang out spot for greek life and the lonely freshman that just wanders around aimlessly with 2 hrs to kill before their next class. Here anything is an open subject, whether it's how hot that person sleeping on the couch is, to the next mayor or even just stupid talk that gets forgotten in less than 3 minutes
Strangely enough, while everyone is writing about the SU, I don't like hanging out there. Maybe I'm weird, or maybe I just HATE the smell of food. I don't know. They have an arcade, but I usually just walk through it. Maybe they should have games that give tickets like skeeball or something and the tickets can be redeemed for scantrons, pencils, Starbucks, and monthly planners... I'm a genius! You heard it here first, folks! Oh and Mr. Torie Weaver, I'm not sure if you were questioning the efficiency of the pub or of the balcony, but if it was indeed the pub, is it because you aren't old enough to buy a beer? :)
