Senate continues rec center debate
By Nicole Kennedy Kansan staff writer
Students soon may get to vote about the proposed $21 million recreation center.
Student Senate continued debate last night on whether to hold a student referendum Feb. 27 and 28 to vote on the center. A decision had not been reached at 11:30 p.m.
If the center proposal is approved in a referendum, student fees would increase by $30 a semester beginning next fall and would increase by $77 a semester by Fall 1999 to pay for the center.
For the referendum decision to stand, 10 percent of the student body would have to vote in the referendum. For approval, a majority of those who vote would have to vote in favor of the fee increase.
Some senators expressed concern that 10 percent of the student body would not turn out to vote.
"I'm concerned because typically in a Student Senate election, you barely get above 10 percent," said Julie Harris. Cooleal senior.
Senate would have to pay $3,500 from its unallocated account to hold the referendum.
Harris said some senators had favored holding the referendum in April, in conjunction with the Senate elections, to save the $3.500.
However, Ami Hizer, Lawrence senior, said that if the Senate held the referendum in April, the proposal could not go to the Board of Regents
"If they miss the deadlines, then it could cost significantly more to wait a year," Hizer said.
for approval until the next fiscal year, which would increase the center's building costs.
Dan Hare, student body vice president, also said there was a need for immediate action on the bill.
"I wanted to emphasize the importance of taking action on this legislation," Hare said in a presentation before Senate. "This legislation does not ask you to endorse the recreation center."
Despite his appeal, discussion during the meeting centered on the viability of the center and how the referendum would be publicized.
If a referendum is approved, the recreation center advisory board would hand out 10,000 brochures outlining plans for the center and asking students to vote in favor of the fee increase.
The department would campaign for the recreation center, and the campaign would be financed by the recreation board.
The Senate Elections Commission would encourage students to vote. However, the commission would promote voting only, not voting for or against the recreation center.
Still, some senators were unsure how those opposed to the recreation center would campaign against it.
Mike Oneill, Shawnee sophomore, said, "There's no effort being made that I can see to get what the downside of this will be."
