DUAL MEET
SATURDAY
Student Senators approYed a plan to finance
through student fees the proposed multi-purpose
stadium facility, at their regular meeting Monday night.
President William B. Boyd presented the
proposal to Senators at the request of student
government leaders, ■ At the meeting he said
student fees would be increased from $5 to a
maximum of $18 per student per semester to
finance construction-of the multi-purpose facility.
No Referendum
Senate leaders indicated there are no plans to
conduct a student referendum on the increase in
fees.
Boyd will seek approval from the Board of
Trustees to ask permission from'* the state legislature to sell self-liquidating bonds that will finance
construction of the stadium.
■ President Boyd said he will seek authorization
for $5 million in bonds in order to provide leeway
for the proposed domed stadium even though construction costs are not expected to exceed much
more than $4 million.
Planning Leeway Needed
"We need a little leeway in planning the stadium," Boyd said. "If construction totals less than
$5 million then we will seek only what it will really
cost. But if a definite limit were set and the construction bid exceeded that limit by only $50,000
or so we would be hindered," Boyd explained.
If approval is granted by the state legislature
to sell liquidating bonds student fees would be
increased a minimum of $5 per student for the fall
Heavy Snow Fall
Adds to" Carnival
Pi Kappa Phi's third annual Winter Carnival
officially began last night with the Mitch Ryder
concert in Finch Fieldhouse.
The all-university event, which includes, winter
games and a snow statue competition, was blessed
this year with many inches of snow and the completed statues will be televised by WW-TV Channel
9 in Cadillac.      •-...-,
Students are invited to ice skate at Island Park
tonight and to participate in, or view, the various
games that are scheduled to begin at noon tomorrow on the football field.
Snow Princess Kris Skingley and her court will
be presented tomorrow night at the Winter Carnival dance which starts at 9:30 in Finch Fieldhouse.
Winners of the statue contest and games will
be announced and trophies awarded during the
dance. Dress for the dance is informal.
semester. Based on this proposal the income from
the 11,500 students currently enrolled would total
approximately 57,500 per semester. If fees were
increased $10 per student the income for each
semester would total approximately $115,000. The
bonds would self liquidate after 30 years.
Other Financial Sources
The stadium would be financed by other sources
of revenue Boyd said. He indicated additional
funds will come from gate receipts, convention and
rental fees from use of the enclosed stadium. He
also said additional funds would be raised through
the Alumni Development Fund.
Once the multi-purpose events building is built
Boyd said a policy board would have to be established to govern the uses of the facility. He said
students should have a majority membership on
such a policy board.
Boyd said the policy board probably would
have responsibility for scheduling all events except inter-collegiate athletic events and certain
other university events such as commencement.
At lummy Commencemeftf
In other action student senators also learned
plans could be finalized for a proposed carrier
hanced through revenue saved when classes were
dismissed a week earlier due to a flu-like epidemic
which hit Central just before the scheduled Christmas vacation. ' ■
"The carrier current station can be financed
through raw food savings" Boyd said. "We will
move as fast as it is technically possible," Boyd
said. .
Student Government Guidelines >
Student government will be requested to recx
ommend guidelines for governing the proposed
new student radio station.
Rick Kedzierski, Barnard senator asked Boyd
if students would have any control of the carrier
current. Boyd answered that, "Control would be
analogous to CMU Life's privileges."
The carrier current will serve only the dormitories. Boyd mentioned that money made through
advertising would possibly go to an elaboration of
the carrier current system.
