Elevator?

Our next paper is supposed to be an artifact that has something to do with the subculture we are studying. I was thinking about doing the actual building of Stu East, but then I remembered that we are going to do a site observation paper later on. So, then I started thinking about what else I could use for the paper. I'm leaning towards the elevator in Stu East. A LOT of people use it. It only goes to the first and sixth floor, but it seems that people are always using it. Maybe it's because it saves time. Maybe it's because they live on the sixth, seventh or eighth floor. Maybe it's because they have a lot to carry and they don't want to drag it up all of those dreadful stairs. I don't know. I'm thinking about taking a survey to discover what the main purposes of the elevator for students is and what they think they would do differently if it didn't exist within the building. I'm going to continue to search for another artifact as well in case something better comes up. Any suggestions?
