An Open Letter to the Students of California State University, Chico

Next week, you will have an opportunity to vote on one of the most impOliant additions to BAY W,O 0 D our campus in many years, the WAC or Wildcat Activity Center, a fully comprehensive PROPEJRTY MANAGEMEN'y recreation center and aquatic complex. As the voting day comes closer there may be a flood of information on this topic, some of which may misrepresent the facts.

(530) 345~504.7 First, an important fact about costs. The money to build the WAC will come from the Sole of bonds to provide the University with the $65 million construction cost. The repayment of this $65 million will include an amount for interest, just as there is on any loan, such as the purchase of a house or car. The proposed increase to your fees includes the interest cost. While I believe the payment for the WAC should come from the State of California, unfortunately, the state does Quality, Affordable Student Housing not pay for recreation centers. We only get funds to build academic buildings and support facifities to run the campus. ' Now Leasing for Spring and Fall 200!! I'd like to tell you why I think the proposed Wildcat Activity Center is important.

College Glen 4 Bdrml2 Bath $860 - $900 • The WAC is designed to be a destination and not just a health facility. Students continuously talk about the lack of community and school spirit and that there is 1096 Columbus Ave. 3 Bdrml2 Bath $795 - $900 nothing to do in Chico except go to bars. They say they like the idea of more activities on campus. The WAC will attempt to cater to all tastes and preferences of tbe campus popUlation and will be an activity center for all, not just a recreation center for a few. 406 Walnut 4 Bdr111/2 Bath $900 Programs like CAVE, CLlC, and KCSC will also be accommodated in a new location.

• Extensive market research conducted at CSU, Chico last fall indicated our students want 418 IIickory 4 Bdrm/2 Bath $800 a recreation center and they would support an increase in fees. That research showed that over 60% of Chico students actually supported a fee higher than the proposed $160 per semester fee. This is not surprising, since half of all our students participate in Lynnewood 3 Bdrm/2 Bath $795 'recreational sports. 935 W. 4th Ave. 891-1715 DOur Rec Sports andlntramural programs will move to the WAC and provide students '. with programs they want determined by a twelve-member WAC student advisory board with student representation from many parts of the campus. Northwood 3 Bdr111/2 Bath $725 • The WAC will be much more than a gym or a health club, Intramurals will use the, , 363 Rio Lindo Ave. WAC, Adventure Outings will be based there, a lounge/juice bar will be available for ' 896-0816 students who want to visit and social iz€, and there is drop-off child care for students , with young children so they can use the center while their children are cared for. Touring other recreation centers at campuses throughout the state convinces me they Sunridge 3 Bd'I'm12 Bath $750 - $850 are becoming the student unions of the 21 st century--a place to meet friends and be 1096 Columbus Ave, 2 Bdrm/l Bath $650 involved in activities that students enjoy. , • The WAC will help attract and retain students. Many other UC and CSU campuses already have recreation centers or they are in the planning stage. A residential campus Apartments include: Washcr/Drycr (most apts.) - Frost Free Refrigerators like Chico should certainly have one. ' - Dishwasher - Central Heating & Air Condo - Private Patios (most apts.) - Lots of Storage - Ofr Strcet Parking - Flexible Leasc Terms Please consider the advantages to our campus that a recreation and aquatic center would provide, become informed of the facts as prOVided by the WAC referendum committee, and . please vote on March 7 or 8.
