SU Discussion
Discussion .of the Student Un
ion and _Field House projects has
not been dropped by the Board
of Trustee!, an official announce
ment from the President's office
disclosed today.
At their recent meeting, Col
lege Trustees went aver the de
tailed report prepared by the
sub-committee investigating these
projects.
They, commend the committee
on the fine work done but felt,
in view of the report submitted,
that it was unwise to make ' a
commitment at this time "which
would appear to . involve obliga
tion AO spend more money than is
raised!:
Substance of the committee re
port was that expert fund raisers
had advised against setting a
goal in excess of $2,000,00 to be
solicited from alumni and friends
for these projects.
It was also pointed out that
„tentative specifications, drawn up
under present unsettled and ris
ing costs of construction, called
for a minimum of $2;500,000 to
erect the type of Student Union
building desired and needed. A
properly equipped Field House
would cost $1;500,000.
The total cost, $4,000,000, was
two million more than the Col
lege felt it could raise at this
time so the committee has been
asked to continue its activities to
see if it can harmonize conflict
ing factors involved.
