The next phase in the Rally4Talley campaign will begin Monday as student leaders seek to inform students about the fee before the Oct. 5 referendum.Campaign will seek to informStudent Centers President Mary Cobb Randall said after the summer lull in campaigning, the Rally4Talley team wants to make sure students understand the project beyond just recognizing the campaign’s advertisements.”Students see the signs, but there’s a disconnect between the logo and what’s behind the Talley and Atrium project,” Randall said. “We’re trying to get out the info about the project to as many students as possible.”The student center expansion fee, which will appear on the fee referendum for consideration as an $83 fee increase, would include funding for Atrium renovations that would be complete by fall 2010 as well as capital to begin the Talley Student Center renovations.Randall said she and other student leaders will be sharing images of the amenities available at other student centers across the country with students to “give them a point of perspective.””it’s not like student centers on other campuses,” Randall said.Randall said the student leaders won’t be hiding facts, and that they look at it as their duty to educate students on the pros and cons of it.”We’re going to lay out all the info,” Randall said. “Obviously we believe in this project and we want others to believe in it, but we want them to come to their own conclusion.”Randall said one of the objections to the project was that the timing of it was poor. She said she felt circumstances made the timing for the project appropriate.”Construction costs are down right now,” she said. “We can get more bang for our buck.”Randall said the $83 fee and other college cost increases, like the $200 state-implemented tuition increase, couldn’t all be viewed as the same funds.”Tuition and fees go towards different things at a university,” Randall said. “Normal students may not be able to distinguish what’s what but the cash flows go to different parts of campus.”Randall said student fees typically fund student center projects.”We understand it’s tough financial times but the fee wouldn’t go into place until next fall,” Randall said. “Students now are basically paying for the Atrium. By 2013 when the fee’s going to be at its highest level, that’s when you’ll be paying for what you get.”Randall said the fee had been fought down all summer, and said if the measure doesn’t pass, it could lead to higher meal plan costs from what she has heard from Dining.Student leaders say Woodward will seek student supportThough Chancellor Jim Woodward released his recommendations for the fee committee Tuesday, Student Body President Jim Ceresnak said this does not discount the job the fee committee is doing.”Fitting [the Talley fee] in with the other fees is something I think the chancellor wanted,” Ceresnak said. “So he provided a recommendation of what he thought was best for the committee to consider. It doesnt render the fee committee impotent. It will do its work like it does any other year.”Ceresnak said while he is a supporter of the project, he will support whatever decision the student body comes to through the referendum.”At the end of the day, the referendum is going to be my deciding factor on whether I support or don’t support the Talley fee,” Ceresnak said.Ceresnak said he felt Woodward was using his authority wisely and with students in mind.”The chance has used his best judgment,” he said. “As chancellor, it’s his responsibility to do that and understanding the politics and economic reality we’re in. He has to make that hard decision. His job is to make those tough calls.”Ceresnak said he couldn’t speak for the chancellor in a situation where the referendum didn’t pass, but said he didn’t think he would go against the student opinion.”If the fee doesn’t pass I don’t believe the chancellor will move forward with the project if the referendum doesnt pass,” Ceresnak said.Randall echoed Ceresnak’s sentiments.”He said that we won’t make a decision without student input,” Randall said.
