In a just released interview, Hoofer Council Renovations Chair Eric Oberhart had this to say:
"We're gaining about 2000 sq ft of space...we're rearranging our spaces to be more efficient, so problems we've had in the past, like really confusing hallways to navigate, will go away."
Wow. So UW students--many of them poor and dependent on big student loans--are being forced to pay an extra $200 million in seg fees--during a recession--just because some idiots couldn't find the bathroom?
It's easy to get directions. I've been asked many times where the office is, or the bathroom, or the chartroom. Moreover, walking through the shop and sail area is fun and interesting and kind of makes you feel involved. Now it will all be behind locked doors--laid out in an easy-to-navigate, gridlike pattern no doubt. A Hoofers for the 21st Century.
Couldn't they just have "rearranged the space to be more efficient" w/o stiffing every UW student for extra cash to make that new 2000 sq ft lakefront lounge?

Perverts among us
Incase anyone hasn't seen this yet, former UW-Madison Associate Athletic Director John Chadima has been accused of sexually assaulting several young men in recent months in his capacity as above. That is, he apparently used his position to intimidate or coerce boys into, er, submitting to his, er, whatever. Argh. I can hardly typt this it's so disgusting. He is now the former associate director because he resigned as soon as he was accused, as much as admitting to his wrongdoing.
Didn't I suggest someplace recently that the sexual abuse going on at Penn State was likely ubiquitous, i.e. not confined to Penn State..?
Which leads us to Hoofers. Anyone having any information on assaults or other harassing or abusive behaviour by HSC leaders, advisors, or ex-advisors is encouraged to post your experience here. However, if you do so, don't do it anonymously. Do it using a google login or your post will likely be removed. Such behaviour by Hoofers leaders is not unheard of.
You could also report it to UW police, but they are mostly abusive perverts too, so reporting abuse to them is like telling the fox that the lynx is in the henhouse, er, roosterhouse. Whatever.
The detailed story can be found here.
