Student input needed in campus plan

The University of Wisconsin is competitive in pretty much everything. Our academics, athletic teams and even our party habits are ranked nationally. It�s about time our campus begins to compete with other universities nationwide in yet another category: campus development.

We lack adequate dorm space for incoming students, apartment space for older students, retail stores that make life more convenient for students, parking, reliable transportation and a centrally located health center. With class sizes growing each year, UW has no choice but to develop the campus and the surrounding areas to not only cater to the students� wishes but also make UW a more aesthetically pleasing place � or simply one that looks like it has finally left the 1970s behind.
