Stop the Helicopter Tours


Stop the Helicopter Tours
The Issue
The Point is that Helicopter tours are both unnecessary and disturb the peace. Please bring an end to this pampered madness.
Helicopter tours are normal when you're on vacation in Hawaii or somewhere exotic. We're at college, specifically in Rexburg Idaho, which is neither a vacation, nor interesting enough to merit Helicopter Tours. Maybe if we were closer to Yellowstone it would be worth it, but when you live in a town that's main industry is potato farming... well you get the idea.
"This is College, not a five-star resort" - Student living at SnowView Apartments, near NorthPoint.
Honestly, myself and others who are unfortunate enough to live near North Point Apartments have to see and hear helicopters throughout the day, hovering over our homes. It disturbs the peace. Some of us work nights and have to sleep during the day. If you'd like to have some quiet time to ponder on campus, think again, because you'll have the constant rhythm of a chopper over head.
Either way, it adds an unneccesary level of noise both on, and off, campus that disrupts peoples lives and the spirit that exists at BYU-Idaho.
