Students are already paying $42 each to pay the centre's mortgage. However, it is still losing money. "Essentially we have eight months of time of student income to generate revenue and we have bills to pay for 12 months," Roxburgh said. The Student Association is now using its funds to keep the centre running. Roxburgh said the $3 increase will build its savings until the student centre begins to sustain itself, then the increase will be taken off. "We don't do anything to gener- ate revenue so we can all live happi- ly ever after." Roxburgh said. "We generate revenue to give it back to the students." The fourth vote is on the health care proposal, which students have already voted for with their class presidents. It originally included four options. The first vote decided what option students would be interested in. The upcoming vote will deter- mine if students actually want it. Students would pay $40, but may be entitled to a refund if they can prove they have health coverage from somewhere else.
