Senate to provide tea, coffee during finals

The Associated Students of Boise State University Senate passed a bill that was introduced with the goal of helping students relieve some of the stress of finals week.

Sponsored by Sen. Wyatt Parke, the bill will allow warm beverages, including tea, coffee and hot chocolate, to be provided during the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of finals week for each semester of the 2005-2006 school year in the Albertsons Library.

According to the bill, ASBSU has sponsored similar events in the past to support students during finals.

It has become tradition to provide coffee in the Albertsons Library since ASBSU convinced the library to provide 24-hour access to students during finals week beginning in 2002.

“I have never taken advantage of hot drinks in the library, but I have been given snacks and refreshments in the SUB last semester and I was extremely grateful for the power snack,” Parke said.

Finals Relief coordinators reported approximately 1,200 BSU students used the library during extended hours in the Spring Semester 2005.
