The weather is getting warmer and more Sonoma State students are heading to the bars. With finals creeping up around the corner, a night out is a good way to destress and have fun with friends, but it is important to remember going out has its risks.

What is there to do in Rohnert Park Calif.? This is a common question that is asked when non-locals visit the area and quite frankly there isn’t much. It is always a bit embarrassing to reply back with the same few things that constantly include Scandia or the local movie theater. A reason why Rohnert Park is so low on things to do is due to the lack of a true “downtown” area in the city. The city of Rohnert Park is beautiful but the absence of a downtown is leaving residents with a desire for more and is hurting the city’s overall popularity and growth. In recent news though, there does seem to be a glimmer of hope down a long tunnel as the city bought a 30-acre lot last year with the plans of it eventually becoming the long-awaited downtown.

Sonoma State Seawolves deserve representation that can only come from a student union. Since the pandemic there have been an increasing number of changes to the campus, from the change of presidents to the million-dollar reconstruction of Stevenson Hall. But, did the students have any say in these matters? Overall the student body of SSU wants their opinions recognized by the university. Implementing a student union could be a step in the right direction.
