| Remarks | FAILED - President Witt said in a memo dated February 5, 2001 that he does not approve of the resolution. |
| Whereas | There is not a place on campus where students can go to relax in a social atmosphere where they will not feel restrained from talking and socializing; and |
| Whereas | There is no music at any of the dining establishments or lounges on campus; and |
| Whereas | Every other UT system campus has a bar or hang out place where students can socialize; and |
| Whereas | The back area behind the plaza has a TV but still lacks music or comfortable chairs, is not used by many students, and could be a great location for a student bar or lounge area; and |
| Whereas | An on-campus bar would encourage campus participation and increaded involvement in on-campus activities. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | UTA establish an on-campus casual "hang out" to include the service of alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages, comfortable seating, and music. |
