Show The Thunderhird Page 4 Monday ApriC 29, 1985 Student views needed on new student center This week the Southern Utah State College administration will ask the Institutional Council to raise student fees by $4.50, effective next fall quarter. The outcome of that request may well he in student hands. Administrators say the money is needed to fund the construction of a new student center, to be located where War Memorial Fieldhouse currently stands. Moreover, administrators say this probably wont be the last time student fees go up to fund the facility. Another increase, possibly on the same level as the one currently being requested, may be necessary a year from now. But the administration has made it clear that the student center will only be a college priority as long as it is a student priority. In other words, if students are obviously not interested in paying for a new student center, the whole issue will probably be dropped. At the very least, it may well be deferred. The Thunderhird. believes a new student center is an admirable goal. Students have been talking about one for years, but no one has done anything about it. Now we have a chance to get one, and for the cost of a movie and a soft drink each quarter, we may see that dream become a reality. The proposed center will be a definite boon to the college, and the area. As currently visualized, the center will not only house the bookstore and student offices, but fast food restaurants and businesses. other student-oriente- d will be the perfect addition to a campus it Quite frankly, surrounded on all sides by housing projects; we need convenience businesses near us, and this will solve that problem. There really isnt any question that a new student center is a worthy goal, and that the finished project will be an exciting Men: we love them and we hate them addition to the aampus. The question is, do the students want it? To find out7 A5SUSC President Stuart Jones and other student officers have spent the weekend talking to students, telling them what the proposal currently is, and trying to get a feeling for their reaction to the subject. Moreover, a public forum is scheduled for Tuesday at noon in the Great Hall of the Student Center. Student opinion must be expressed by Friday, when the Institutional Council votes, or it will be too late. This public forum and the readily available access to student leaders are the students best avenues for having a serious affect on the decision. Students who do not attend the public forum, who do not write letters, who do not talk to tfieir student leaders, lose absolutely their right to complain when fees go up next year. The Thunderhird encourages students to consider the issue carefully, and to let Jonjs and other student leaders know how they feel. one-on-o- V 0 mi- the Cbunderbird siwniM ni ws amp vn ws or soi hii-k- ihah siam- ooi k;i ou v "iaii VOLUME 79, NUMBER 29 Editor Doug Christensen Copy Editor Paul Husselbec Photo Editors James Howells Derek Miller Sports Editor Joe Cartwright Entertainment Editor Jim Knowlton Senior Staff Writer Stewart Smith Assistant to the Editors Annette Grooms Production Manager Kelli Foy Advertising Designer Gavin McNeil Advertising Representatives John B.
