In the Friday, February 4 issue of the Exponent, the article entitled 'Cost of Athletics too high for some' incorrectly stated that the Athletic fee of $30 funded maintenance of the weight room, basketball and raquctball courts. These facilities are, in fact, operated by lntramurals, an ASMSU Committee which derives its funding from the Student Activity fee. The Exponent regrets the error.

Not only because he gave me permission to doctor his quotes-''Just make sure I don't sound dumb" he would say-but he also showed he truly cared. He was interested. Interested in telling the con1plete story, not just a sn1all part of it. I always loved spending n1y 15 ininutes sipping coffee in Malone's office while he would digress fr01n the interview to inforn1 ine of son1e snippet of Montana history, then jump back into what he was talking about with hardly n1issing a beat. \\'hen I think about l\'Ialone, an in1age of his brightly s1niling face and knowing I eyes appears. Underneath his gentle countenance lay the truth and c01111nitinent he always had toward making Montana State University a better place. Not an easy job, considering budgeting and space restraints coupled with trying to appease over 10,000 restless college students and nu1nerous faculty and staff. I honestly believe Dr. Malone cared about this university and the people involved with it. The simple sound of his voice or sadness in his eyes while we discussed classified en1ployee pay raises doesn't show up in print, but it was there nonetheless. He knew that sometimes to serve the greater good sacrifices inust be made, but that doesn't n1ean he liked it. What always struck me about hin1 was the overwhehning sense of c01npassion he constantly displayed. Even while I making unpopular decisions, like discontinuing the College Nationals Finals Rodeo, Malone was trying to n1ake MSU a better place. In spite of any result fron1 his decisions, his heart was ahvays in the right place. And it is with no s1nall a1nount of grief that I can honestly say he will be n1issed but not forgotten. SinceJ Marcus Hibdon Exponent Editor esident Mike Malone Legacy offrien dship lives on hroughout the time that I have been involved in Student Government I had a variety of options to work and become acquainted with President Mike Malone. He was a man of insurmountable integrity, honesty, compassion and knowledge. He never denied any student a chance to ask questions, give suggestions, or just sit and listen. Mike not only was a great man for the university, but also was a friend to all students. He will not only be remembered as a great administrator, but also as a great friend. There never once was a time that he presented himself as a person above anyone, but always depicted himself as an equal showing his compassion for faculty, staff and especially students. He never let the large problems that he faced get him down, however he always showed a smiling caring face toward the university. His love for Montana State University, the faculty and the students, will never be surpassed. President Malone was a treasure to MSU, the Bozeman community and the entire state of Montana. He will be greatly missed but we will all remember the place in our hearts that he has touched for eternity.
