Chris Hunter, Second-year student, rhetoric and communications

It’s admirable in some ways if the person’s reasoning is to give back to the community. But if you just want to have your name on a seat for the sake of having your name on a seat then I don’t agree with that.
John Thompson, book seller, the Bookman

I don’t think there’s any harm in it. It’s just a way of getting extra funding, which is a problem particularly for universities right now. I guess it’s fine if they want to be creative.
Katlyn Raymer, First-year student, pre-professional medical technology

I think it’s pretty cool and that if you were really into that, it’d be special to have a part of you there all the time.
Maxime Desjardins, First-year student, politics

I think it’s a great idea to make money. It’s an ownership thing, so it makes you feel like you belong to a group.
Stephen Sim, performer with improv duo CRUMBS

If it means that a theater [for example] is able to exist, then I’m for it. If it means they get to determine what happens there, then I’m not.
Kevin Focht, supervisor Casa Burrito

It’s definitely not a bad idea but I don’t see myself having any interest in it.
