(Okay, closer to 70)
- Profile Jay Peak. The president of the resort spoke at the retreat and mentioned some of the things in the pipeline, including a four-season water park. Skiing season is here; your readers would be interested in finding out what the area offers.
- Profile Burke Mountain. Speaking of ski season. This resort is closer; is it also better? How does it compare in cost, ski trails, terrain park area, etc.? Can you rent skis?
- Where to go cross-country skiing? Kingdom Trails and Craftsbury Outdoor Center spring to mind. What do they cost? How many miles of trails, etc.?
- Commuter students. Do they feel left out at LSC? What does LSC do to make them feel welcome? What do other schools do for their commuters?
- Dorms 1: Which dorms produce the highest number of disciplinary cases?
- Dorms 2. Have any students remodeled their dorms to make them more livable? Take pictures.
- Fraternity. Would Kappa Delta Phi like to become an official fraternity at LSC? Why aren't there any frats or sororities? What would it take to change that? Do students want a Greek system here?
- President's Hill tow rope: Back in the old days, you could ski down President's Hill and ride back up on a very basic, engine-powered tow rope. Last year, some Mountain Rec seniors started a project aimed at building a new one. What's the status? Carol Moore says she'd welcome it.
- Education. Only 16 percent of the adults in the Northeast Kingdom have a college degree. Carol Moore would like to double that number. How could LSC do that, and what would happen if it did?
- What is LSC doing to attract the Vermont National Guard soldiers who have returned from their deployment in Afghanistan. 30 percent lost their jobs while overseas – bad news for them, but potentially good news for the college, no?
- Ride share. Dozens of LSC students live in the Newport-Derby area. Do they drive down individually? Is there a bulletin board listing ride-share opportunities?
- Girl/guy ratio. Word is that the female-male ratio is especially skewed toward more males in this year's freshman class. Is that correct? Do females like it? Do guys hate it? Does the school worry about it?
- Spiritual place. Many schools, even state-supported ones, maintain a non-denominational chapel where students and faculty and staff can pray, meditate, or just sit and perhaps nap. Why not LSC? The school once had a Christian club (John Kaszenska was the adviser), but doesn't now. Does that mean LSC students aren't spiritual? Does LSC care? Does the SGA care?
- New ARAMARK food service director is an LSC alum.
- Which restaurants deliver to campus or have special deals for students (Timbuktu has two-for-one Tuesday nights)?
- Bus service (new routes): Rural Community Transportation. Do students use it? It’s cheap.
- Colony collapse: no more bees? Is this an issue in Vermont? Two professors keep honeybees: Alexandre Strokanov and Jon Fitch.
- Crime rates – are they going up or down at LSC?
- Photocopier privacy: Can LSC “see” what you copy?
- Hunter education class: when is the next one? Do LSC students hunt?
- Integrated Library Database Searching
- West Barnet Woodworks
- Snowshoe Farm Alpacas (Peacham)
- NEK Artisans Guild (St. J)
- GRACE Old Firehouse Gallery (Hardwick)
- Where to put the parents – good and bad hotels in the area
- China recruitment – one student started in the fall, another started this spring; more to come?
- Capital campaign – how much is LSC trying to raise for 100th anniversary?
- 100th anniversary events.
- Most popular car make/color – check Public Safety permit database.
- Kingdom Trails new bike trail
- Adventure Recreation program – Jamie Struck
- Personal trainers at the fitness center – are they booked already?
- Vermont Food Venture Center (Hardwick)
- Office moves – Donna Keely has two offices now
- New FERPA rule
- New faculty 1: Ian Balcom, Chemistry
- New faculty 2: Ann Nygard, Business Administration, adjunct (also IWoW director)
- Are insurance costs for students increasing?
- Community work crew – spend a day with the convicts!
- Spend night in jail
- Dorm room decorating – best-looking room? Weirdest?
- Off-campus vs on-campus – pros and cons of each.
- Detoxification shelter http://bit.ly/bZAsWf #UVM -- should we have one?
- Drugs on campus: Professor Meri Stiles has been researching LSC drug use for a few years.

At the start of any semester the stress of a new workload and exposure to massive amounts of germs can cause people to feel ill. What are some students at LSC doing to stay healthy? Diet? Exercise? Sleep?
Are insurance costs for students increasing？What does the insurance cover since we pay so much money for it? As students, we need to figure them out.
