A-S-G is proposing an increase in the student fees you pay every semester. And, as Dara Downs tells us in this Bobcat Update, a chunk of the money will be going to the L-B-J Student Center.
The Student Center is the heart of the Texas State campus. The center holds the University book store, meeting rooms and is home to many of the university's student organizations.
STANDUP: OVER 15,000 STUDENTS USE THE STUDENT CENTER AND ITS SERVICES DAILY.
Boko's Lounge gives students a place to relax between classes and access to a computer lab. The Lair is a popular place for students to grab food. Freshman Taylor Davis says she uses the student center a lot.
:9 "central location on campus."
A-S-G is asking students to vote on the referendum that would increase the fee students currently pay per long semester by four dollars. The student center fees are used for everything from electricity costs to maintenance on the building.
With more than 27-thousand students now enrolled at Texas State, the fee increase would help the student center keep up with its growing demand.
Gabriella Rosales says many of the services that the student center provides could be in jeopardy if the referendum isn't passed.
:11 "what if we don't have Riverfest anymore..."
Students will vote on the referendum through a link sent to their bobcat email on March 3rd and 4th. For Bobcat Update, I'm Dara Downs.
