This is a terrible idea. As the treasurer of a pretty small MIT student
group we already have enough trouble getting a budget to go to events.
To now be worrying if our limited equipment is going to be collectivized
by the UA is too much.

Correct. I am only proposing that if a certain resource would be better
reallocated, some other group will help serve campus.

As I said, there was something in the UA Senate Meeting last night.
Specifically, a bill to negotiate other groups' access to the
Logarhythms
recording studio. Lots of Finboard money was being used to help other a
capella groups pay rent
to the Logs to use their recording studio, built partially with a loan
from the UA. It was decided that this was an
egregious waste of Finboard funds, and that a better resolution should
occur. However, I thought that charging headlong into this idea of
making
a group's recording studio open for more public use was a bad idea, and
I
wanted to look at the general case before a specific decision was made.
Hence, this discussion.
