Despite extra money in athletics, new theater obsolete lack of funds Michael J. Barry Student Life and Entertainment Editor In light of the recent developments regarding the student council's decision to cut fees relating to the theater department, we decided to get the facts and opinions from two of the leading figures in the issue. What follows is a direct interview with Randall King, head of the UVCC theatre department, and Paul VonStrahl, current student body president. Unfortunately, Mike Jacobsen, athletic director, was in New York and unavailable for comment. If requested, his point of view will be published in a later issue. INTERVIEW WITH RANDALL KING COLLEGE TIMES: Do you know how much the new theater costs? RANDALL KING: A couple of million, certainly. CT: How did this thing with Student Government subsidising theater begin? RK: The year 1990-91, there was no money. The money was all in academics, I guess thaf s where it comes from. There was no student activity money, no fees. Then I was approached by Erik Laver, who was running for office and I think he was part of the council, and he came to me and essentially said, "I think we can getyou somemoney." So the next year, Ken Patey called me and said "You got it." CT: How much were the theater admissions then? RK: We charged a dollar and a half admission and it just wasn't cutting it So I said we have to be gradual about this, we'll go to two dollars. And it still wasn't working, and the students were getting a really good deal, especially if you realize that BYU is charging six. CT: How much in subsidies did you get? RK: Well, this year there was still a lot of talk about free admis Global Hunger Percentage of population in developing areas who do not have enough food to keep body activity. Latin America Africa sion. So we talked about it and I essentially told them that I came out of the meeting in '91 without any negotiation, was then called and told what they were going to do for me. It was then left up to me to decide what to do to make up the difference. And I suggested then, that it would' ve been foolish for me back then, to come out of that meeting in '91, without negotiation and saying, "No matter what you give me, I'm giving free admission. Anyone who would assume that, has no business sense at all. So it was my understanding that they gave us fifty cents per student in fees and we could go do whatever we wanted. So this recent meeting, I just went in there to defend our fifty cents, not to ask for any more. Shortly after, I got two phone calls from student council saying they were going to give us an increase to one dollar. Which I thought was great. So then 1 get another phone call saying, no, the raise has been vetoed by Paul VonStrahl because you didn't agree to give free admission. I said, "Oh...where do I sign?" For a dollar we could do that. So then I get an official call from Paul saying that I have to take only sixty cents and give free admission. I told him that didn't make sense. We'd be operating in the red. Thaf s a step backward, I can't do that There's a principle involved. So they took it all. CT: Is it your personal opinion, that in the past and present, UVCC administration has mismanaged or unwisely spent funds? RK: I think so. I guess thaf s tobe expected that I would think that the money could be better spent The athletics department was cut two dollars I think. Now athletics is only getting $241; 2 times as much as theater and not 28 times as much. I need to make it clear that I'm a sports fan but I think that there are other things in this world. CT: What do you think is at the heart of the reason why athletics gets such a disproportion-See FEES, Page 3 weight and allow moderate Far East CENSUS ON WOOLO HUNGER
