R-1 RESOLUTION 85/86/2 PRESIDENT REAGAN’S CUTS IN EDUCATION
BY: Mark Jones & Steve Brown
WHEREAS it is the philosophy of this body that no deserving student should be denied access to higher education by financial barriers if they are at all avoidable, and
WHEREAS the Fiscal Year ‘86 President’s budget contains massive cuts in student financial assistance, including an absolute end to aid to students from families with over $32,500 in annual income, severe reductions in the Guaranteed Student Loan, National Direct Student Loan, and Pell Grant programs, and the elimination of the Student Educational Opportunity Grant and State Student Incentive Grant programs, and
WHEREAS should these cuts become law, many Kansas State University students stand to lose all or part of their federal financial assistance, and
WHEREAS these reductions follow four years of large-scale aid cuts, and
WHEREAS the impact of these cuts on the ability of a student to afford higher education, particularly at a medium-cost public university such as Kansas State University, would be devastating
BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
SECTION 1. The Kansas State University Student Senate implores our representatives in Congress to reject these massive reductions in aid targeted at a particularly vulnerable group, and instead opt for maintenance of these vital programs.
SECTION 2. The Chairman of the Student Senate be directed to send a copy of this resolution to each member of the Kansas congressional delegation, President Ronald Reagan, Secretary of Education and Secretary of the Treasury.

R-2 RESOLUTION 85/86/3 COLISEUM MARKETING & PRO FORMA STUDY REQUEST
BY: Tulin Artan, Susan Baird, Daniel Grubb, Ben Lange, Narita Peak, Justin Sanders, Catherine Sayler, Christopher Steineger, Virgil Wiebe
WHEREAS the students of Kansas State University are pledged to contribute over $7 million toward the construction of the Fred Bramlage Coliseum (Senate Bill 81/82/21), and
WHEREAS a market study and a pro forma study are standard procedures in the planning of any large construction project (see Collegian 2/14/85 inc. ref. for description of studies), and
WHEREAS a market study and a pro forma study can insure that the monies donated will be used in the most cost effective manner, and
WHEREAS a market study and a pro forma study were recommended by the original architects (Ralph Anderson of Cram-Anderson of Houston, TX and Bill Livingston of Gossen and Livingston, Assoc. of Wichita, KS), and
WHEREAS these proposals were rejected by the Negotiating Committee for the coliseum only as cost-saving measures, and
WHEREAS several questions remain unanswered: 1) The annual utility costs are unknown, as is whether revenue generated by the coliseum will be able to cover such expenses; 2) A paved parking lot will be necessary, due to the winter conditions of the basketball season. The funds for paying have not been included in the proposed coliseum budget, and it is uncertain where this funding will come from; 3) Of the Big Eight universities, Kansas State has one of the lowest populations within a 70-mile radius. Many question whether this population can fill the proposed coliseum for athletic events as well as concerts, lectures and other activities. Moreover, since the hotel/motel accommodations in the Manhattan area amount to 629 rooms, it is uncertain whether NCAA tournaments or any large activity can be catered to by the community support services, and
WHEREAS a market study and pro forma study would answer these questions, and
WHEREAS these studies would require approximately 30 days, thus not seriously jeopardizing the time table for the coliseum project
BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
SECTION 1. Student Senate urge that a formal market study and pro forma study be completed as soon as possible and no later than the third week of April. SECTION 2. The administration is requested to notify Student Senate of whether they will comply with this request by Wednesday, March 13, 1985.
SECTION 3. Student Senate shall review personnel selected for the studies.
R-3 SECTION 4. The Student Body President shall consider calling a special meeting of Student Senate on Monday, March 18th, or Wednesday, March 20th, to review personnel for the studies.
SECTION 5. Results of the studies, if made, will be made available to Student Senate as soon as possible.

Since we did away with the Summer School Allocations Board this year, Student Senate should allocate for the full 12-month period. Therefore, the new line item figure for the 12-month period is $12.80/full-time student and $6.40/part-time student. The 80¢ and 40¢ increase averages what they have received for the summer months. Walt Smith, Director, was present to answer questions and provide information. Questions were asked and debate was entered into. Cath Sayler moved to decrease the line item back to $12 and $6.

CONSUMER RELATIONS BOARD - $3,945.70 Bruce Ney explained Finance Committee’s recommendation. Kim Hefley, director, represented the group. Questions were asked and debate was entered into. David Dakin moved to decrease Subsistence: Food from $25 to $0. Questions were asked and debate was entered into. Jeff Vander Laan called the question. Failed Marcia Muller moved to increase the Director’s Salary from $325/month to $350/month (from $3,250 to $3,500 for 10 months), with the increase coming from Reserves for Contingencies. Kim explained the reason for requesting the increase. Because the salary is so low, it is difficult to hire a truly competent director. Individuals in similar positions in the Family Economics Dept. make $500-$600/month for a 16 hr. week. The CRB Director puts in over 20 hrs./week. Also, the salaries under all the Social Services are far below what they should be. In 1972 the CRB Director was making $2,700. For 1984-85 she received $3,000, which is only a $300 increase over a 12-year period. At the $325/month which Finance Committee is recommending, the director would have to get a second job to make ends meet, which means taking time away from CRB. At least the $50 increase looks a little better and it is a step to increasing the salary to a competitive level. Questions were asked and debate was entered into. Jeff Vander Laan called the question. Failed. Marcia Muller moved to increase Dues, Memberships & Subscriptions from $41 to $56, to cover a third subscription for Shelter Force, a tenants rights bulletin from the #l landlord-tenant agency in the state which is located in Topeka.

Also present later in the meeting were Cy Wainscott of University Relations and Larry Weigel of the Alumni Association. The body voted on certain rules to cover the open period President Acker spoke to the library, academic advising, retention & student success, missions & goals, and the coliseum. Dr. Miller is chairman of the Coliseum Program Committee. He introduced the other members present. Members of the committee are: Larry Travis, Athletic Director; Art Loub, KSU Foundation Executive Director; Steve Brown, Student Body President; Charles Reagan, Faculty Senate President; Walt Smith, K-State Union Director; Fred Bramlage, Alumnus; Gill Johnson, Alumnus; Helen Cooper, KSU Space Analyst; Jim Shepard, KSU Facilities Architect; Vince Cool, KSU Facilities Architect; Bob Snell, Faculty Athletic Representative & Civil Engineering Professor. Dr. Miller went over the Coliseum Program Background Papers. He emphasized the concept of a multi-purpose, high-quality coliseum to accommodate intercollegiate basketball and other, non-athletic, programs and performances. All general use (as opposed to intercollegiate athletic) design objectives have been retained. Basketball coaching offices and sports press facilities have been retained. Facilities for all other athletic administrative offices and VIP lounge will be designed as add alternates to the base bid. Multiple use of facilities (room that can serve both as basketball officials’ and theatrical or program stars’ dressing rooms) remains incorporated. The number of backed spectator seats has not been changed, while the number of bench-type spectator seats has been reduced.
M-45 Retractable seating. areas have been reduced, thus reducing the square footage available on the main floor. The changes incorporated in the revised program document reduce the programmed net square footage from 175,620 to 145,881. Programmed net square footage excludes public restrooms, circulation, structural, mechanical equipment and custodial spaces. The design process currently in progress will verify whether or not a quality design encompassing the proposed features can be achieved within the budget. With the project architect’s successful resolution of these matters, the university community will have ample opportunity to evaluate the responsiveness of the design. No decision to bid or complete the project will be considered prior to that development. Comparison of Space Requirements (net square feet) 8/85, as bid 9/85 program Total spectator/performance areas 153,632 124,413 Athletic Administration offices 3,509* 3,366 Support area 18,479 18,102 Total Programmed Space 175,620 145,881 Total Seating 16,000 13,500** * There were 5,388 sq. ft. of office and 1,907 sq. ft. of lounge space “shelled-in”, in, the base bid.

Calendar of Events - Mid-1970’s - Strong interest was expressed by KSU students, alumni & friends in the construction of a multi-purpose coliseum. 1970 - Student referendum urged a coliseum project. 1979 - A funding feasibility study was conducted. A university-appointed committee studied the need and feasibility of such a facility 1982 - Fund-raising began. A student referendum again urged a coliseum project. A second feasibility study was conducted. 1983 A comprehensive “program” document was completed. 1984 - The budget portion of the program was revised in March. 1985 - Fund-raising was completed. Construction bids were opened on August 20. All bids were rejected because the lowest bid was substantially higher than the funds raised and approved. A revised program document was, approved by the Board of Regents on September 16 to permit construction of the building, with fewer seats and less square footage, but with the same quality and use features as earlier planned within the approved funding. The project architect is now working with the revised program document. Schematic drawings are expected by the end of November. The entire process of translating the program document into working plans and specifications ready the re-bidding process is expected to take four-six months.

The elevator is proposed to be added to the exterior on the southwest side of Anderson Hall. The State will not make it accessible because it does not have classrooms.

A third possibility was a chair lift, which was also deemed unfeasible because it would be subject to vandalism and weathering. The doors of Anderson Hall would have to be wided and changed. The estimated cost would be $50,000. $86,182 is being requested for the KSU Child Care Cooperative to make their facility in building “L” of Jardine Terrace a fully finished, permanent facility and would allow them to repay two loans (from Housing & Continuing Education at 0% interest rate).
