i thought that was part of the responsibilities of the ad and his staff to promote --- inside a lot better food selection, area again activities for the young adults and kids to start -- promote the frads and dorms in half time activities as was done in the pasts -- OH i forgot we are erasing history --------------------------
We can use being a Comunter School as an excuse. And to a certain extent it’s true.
But we used to get 2 or 3 sell outs every year. Really every school in the LA area is a comunter school. We do have about 3000 students in the Dorms. We have to have winning teams. We have to have a coach who is willing to promote the team, both to students and to the community. We need give always to have to the students that come.
It can be done, we have done it before. It only takes 4200 folks to get a sell out. Also there are things inside the Myd that can be done better.
The 49er had an article in the latest edition pointing our that Long Beach is still a commuter school. It stated that 80% of the students commute. That is one of the reasons why student attendance at athletic events is so low. Theme nights like fraternity and sorority competition as well as volleyball games against top competition bring out the local students, but only enough to not quite fill the end zone student section. Long Beach has always had student commuter problem and is also major problem at all commuter schools, especially in the Big West. Todays on campus living students have other interests and also work. Check out the number of cars in the dorm parking lot on a Thursday night compared to Saturday. Winning is not always the answer either as shown by volleyball. The student section is not quite half full for games other than UCLA and Hawaii and we are #1 in the nation! Is there a solution to this problem?
