Below is a survey my class group came up with to get input on an idea we would like to put into place in what used to be the Le Shana cafe. I hope a lot of you take the survey, so we can try to put this idea into place in Le Shana and win the contest in our class.

Just so you know our idea is to put arcade games (like Pac man, Pinball machine, Mortal combat, etc), DVD Rental Machine ($1.00 to rent), and other vending machines for drinks and snacks.

Please take our survey and hopefully your input will show us if this idea will be a great addition to our campus.  Your input is greatly appreciated.
