Since the new semester has started, our regular meeting room, W480, has been turned into a 24 hour study room. This means there has been many new restrictions applied to the room, such as having to book it every single time we want to use it, as opposed booking it the whole month at the beginning of the month. There is also a 2 hour limit on how long we can book the room for, so technically we can only have the room for 1 hour on Tuesday and Thursday. This petition will hopefully shed some light on our room situation. Keep in mind, we have had that same room and same time for the past 5 and a half years.
Though the OMC is not specifically labeled as art, drama, or music, the club is focused on the art of prop manipulation and movement. There is both a physical aspect as well as a artistic element in what we practice and perform. Furthermore, we have performed for various arts venues in surrounding communities including the Allied Arts Council of lethbridge. To take away the room we have used for the past five years in order to provide space for other arts and drama students is extremely unfair. Finally, in order to practice our art form, we require high ceilings and a wide space. W480 is the only room that we have found in the University that adequately meets our needs. If the arts and drama students require a 24 hour study room, there are plenty of other classrooms available.

Our group has been respectively using this room for almost six years. Unless the box office can give us proof that W480 is in popular demand on Tuesday and Thursday nights, I don't see why they can't let us use the room for a couple hours on those days.

Considering that drama/music student who used to work at the box office (whose also a 4th yr) commented that students dont USE that room at the time that we do, it shouldnt be too much trouble to let us have it back the way it was.
