Two Solutions Newly projected figures put the amount possible to be raised at $13,600. Two solutions for the use of the extra money have been suggested, Rodi said. One is to "build a bigger and better block U," and the other is to split the money with the Alumni Association and the administration. This solution was suggested because "in one way or another, students will pay for the block U," said Rodi. Rodi also said, "We feel the Block U Committee is the most influential group on campus." "I don't feel we have gotten enough publicity especially from the Chronicle." Rodi explained final figures from game ticket sales had not been included because of failure of payment from dormitories and sororities. In a latter interview with Landward, he said that dormitories and other organizations had submitted their payments. |
