Utah State brings guest speaker, fails to get a big enough room

By Zachary Wilson

Guest speaker Andrew Croshaw came to Utah State Wednesday to talk about the Affordable Care Act. The lecture was held in a classroom in the Agricultural Sciences building and students were turned away from the lecture after the room filled up.

“I had to do something for work and when I showed up, it was already full,” said Kelli Reeder, a student at the university. “I wish they would have had it in a bigger room.”

Reeder said this is not the first time something like this has happened.

“They brought Jon Schmidt here a couple of years ago and they had him in the conference enter, the aisles had kids sitting in them and the walls were packed with people,” Reeder said. “There are way bigger rooms here, I wish they would have things like this in those rooms."

The event took place in a lecture hall where the chairs are attached to the desks, making it hard to add more chairs to accommodate more people.

“Obamacare is something that affects all of us,” said Jashon Bishop, a student who attended the lecture. “We want students to feel informed on it.”


Bigger lecture halls on campus include the TSC ballroom, the conference center, the TSC auditorium and the Spectrum, where LDS leaders sometimes give lectures.
