Expansion
(Continued from page 1)
their being killed or moved.
Other students said they were not
informed on the expansion, and felt
it was unfair students’ views were not
taken into account.
Hodge said the committee that
studied the expanding needs of the
University Center was formed in Oc
tober 1984, and in November 1986
serious planning on the project be
gan. Details on the design have been
ironed out since November 1988.
“The project has been discussed
with four student body presidents,
student government members and
MSC council members,” Hodge said.
They were aware of all the aspects
of the project. We can’t do anything
if that information was not passed
on.”
Many students said they were not
aware of the expansion plans, espe
cially plans concerning the
movement and cutting of the oaks,
until about six months ago.
The discussion then shifted to talk
of a referendum. A member of stu
dent government said if students
were serious about a referendum,
they need to stop by the student gov
ernment office and find out the cor
rect procedure.
A woman asked that if enough
students objected to the expansion
plans, could the plans be changed?
Hodge said that was a difficult
question to answer.
“The approval (of such a project)
comes from the Board of Regents,”
he said. “So I don’t know. I’m not
here to tell you that what you’re
doing is wrong,” he said. “If you’re
going to object, at least do it based
on the facts. If you’re going to say we
shouldn’t cut down four trees, then
that’s fine. That’s your right to do
that. My only concern is that you
don’t say we’re cutting down 26 live
oaks.”
Hodge also said he was not at
tempting to defend the cutting down
of the live oaks, nor did he represent
the views of members of the Board
of Regents.
“I just want to make sure every
body understands the current status
of the project.”
In an emotional appeal, one stu
dent said she thought the “A” in
Texas A&M stood for agriculture,
and “not for administration.” She
said the views of the students should
be considered.
Hodge said the expansion in
cludes an expanded bowling and
games area, a food court, larger vo
cal music facilities, art galleries and
gallery storage, a larger bookstore,
an expanded student programs of
fice and a new browsing library.
The expansion of the Rudder
Theater Complex includes an out
door stage, and a 500-seat lecture
hall and movie theater.
A parking garage and an “L”-
shaped building will be constructed
near the aerobic jogging trail and
Mount Aggie. The “L”-shaped struc
ture, called the Lot 60 Building for
now, will contain student activities
offices currently located in the Pavil
ion. The building also will contain
student government offices, the
multicultural services office, KANM
studio, student senate’s meeting
room, off-campus center offices, the
parking and transit department, the
athletic department, the placement
center, the cooperative education of
fice and the school relations office.
Building construction should be
completed by October or November
of 1991 and the parking garage
should be finished by September
1991.
“The (Dad part of this is that most
of you won’t be able to see the re
sults,” Hodge told the audience.
“You’re just going to live through
the construction.”
He said that with the expansion,
the Rudder Fountain area will be
closed for two years and Ring Dance
will have to be different this year. He
could not elaborate on new plans for
Ring Dance.
