One survey question asks students if student performances or art exhibitions would draw them to Loker more often.

"I don't know where to see [student art]. If it was at Loker, it would be really easy to see it," Rachel G. Nelson '00 said.

The survey also asks if students would like to have pool tables at Loker.

"Right now the nearest [recreational facility] is the Mac, which is a little distance," said Paul Hsu '00, who said he would like to see a billiard table in Loker.

And every student interviewed favored bringing fast-food chains to Loker. "Business would pick up if they put in name brands, just because you can't get it anywhere else [in Harvard Square]," said Grandy, although he added: "I think more wholesome meals would be better. They have a lot of greasy stuff."

Mbago M. Kaniki '00 and Marcela Correa '00 both said fast food would draw them to Loker. Correa said, "Some Taco Bell would be good. It would be the solution to Loker's problems."

But students had mixed reactions to survey questions about TV in Loker. Nelson said he would keep TVs out of Loker.

"People who are going to watch TV are going to watch it at home," he said. "TV would take away from studying."

But Grandy disagreed. "It's not supposed to be for studying. It's supposed to be a place for socializing."

Kaniki said he would like to see a separate viewing area--like the coffee house--rather than a noisy central TV.

Christine M. Haggerty '99 said Loker's giant screen was unnecessary. "I think they should get rid of the thing that sends the messages, and the big screen in the back."

Most students had suggestions to make Loker more popular. "If they had made it like a dorm common room with couches, people would go there if the common rooms were full," Hsu said.

Nelson suggested bringing in a jukebox.

Kouril said concerns like these can only be addressed if students respond to the survey. She stressed that the results will be processed quickly
