This week we provide not one but two questions. Let's hope that at least some of these ideas are agreed upon by the powers that be. It is our duty to help the future generations of Ross students!
If you could add any type of room or service to the new business building at Ross, what would it be?
Every year the graduating MBA and BBA classes present the Ross School of Business with a joint class gift. What gift ideas should the Class of 2007 consider?
Although many wanted assisatnce for those pursuing public service carreers, that's not as funny as a statue of Chest's 'member'. Maybe one of our classmates will become a senator or president, and then they can build an effigy to Chest and the Class of '07.
If you could add any type of room or service to the new business building at Ross, what would it be?
- 6 votes for a Bar (lushes), 7 for a gym (so healthy!), 21 votes for some variation on a massage (so tense!), and 13 votes for a sleep room (don't you people ever go home?)
- A prayer/reflection/meditation room
- A Karaoke room for interviewers and interviewees to relax and sing songs together after interviews are over (or before as part of socialization)
- I'd call it a screaming room. Just go in there and scream as loud as you possibly can, cursing away at how business school has destroyed your life.
- Replica of Theo's room from The Cosby Show
- One of those wind booths where money is blown around that you try to catch. Then we'd see who the real gunners are.
- Ethnic food lunch-box service ($3 - $6 lunches and dinners)
- A mechanical bull and a stuffed grizzly bear outside wherever Finance gunners hang.
- Taco Bell. I'd even settle for one of those new fangled Taco Bell-Pizza Hut or Taco Bell-KFCs.

- Submit money for increased funding and viability of the Loan Repayment Assistance Program that provides debt relief for those students seeking jobs in the non-profit and government sectors. There is a strong need for MBAs in the non-profit sector but graduating MBAs often rule out non-profit jobs due to outstanding student loans. This would put Ross on par with other Top 5 schools who already offer tuition "forgiveness" programs.
- A diamond-encrusted block M for the new building.
Funding for some aspect of "green design" at Ross, such as a green roof, recyclable student lounge furniture, solar panels, drought-resistant plants for the new school, or a water element in the new building.
- New mailboxes for students.
- Good ol' Ross needs a mascot. How about the new grads pitch in and get Ross one of those midget bears from Siberia. They look an awful lot like wolverines and it'll keep recruiters on their toes.
- iPods. Everyone likes to give away iPods. People love them. They're sexy.
- A scholarship to encourage diversity.
- A plaque to put into the new building with the inscription, "From the Class of 2007, Thanks for nothing."
