Referendum to increase student fees for a project that would make the bottom floor of the Student Union a better utilized space. Pros: Increased meeting and rehearsal space Updated Union Cabaret 24/7 area for students to study and congregate Cons: Will cost each student an additional $16 every year for 30 years. Graduate students argue they rarely use the space. Student Congress voted to keep the referendum off of today’s bal- lot. Representatives argued that the project was inappropriate consid- ering the financial hardship the University is facing. Fee: $8 per semester for 30 years *Does not include Phase 1, which has already received approval. Phase 1 will bring a Wendy’s and meeting rooms to the Union’s east wing. What is needed? Petitioners had to collect 2,939 signatures for the referendum At least 2.5 percent of students must vote Majority of the at least 2.5 percent must vote in favor Why now? Union officials said that if they do not act now, construction prices will climb, making the project more expensive. dth/Daniel Turner Rick Ingram is an economics and political science double major from Asheville.
