To inform the audince about the new Student Life Center at K-State-Salina, K-State President )on Weflad speaks about the plans and excitement of the new building. This is the very building, the very operation that this campus has needed for 40 years, Wefald said. Joslyn Brown by Jenna Rudell HISTORIC occasion Students, faculty, alumni celebrate the 40th anniversary, groundbreak- ing of the new Student Life Center at K-State-Salina High winds sent cars sliding from one lane to another Pelting rain forced people to run for cover Tornado warnings kept eyes glued to the sky. Threatening weather did not deter nnore than 50 students and alumni from attending the 40th anniversary and groundbreaking ceremony of the Student Life Center at K-State-Salina, Sept. 21 . The project campaign for the student life center has been going on for about two-and-a-half years, but it was always a dream for the college, Kelly Carrico, development director for KSU Foundation, said. The campus at Salina needed a [student] union atmosphere. The planning and design of the center became a project for the Salina administration, but the students were the first to get the ball rolling. K-State-Salina students passed the first referendum to support increasing student fees by $8.65 per credit hour so construction could begin. Students will contribute about $3.3 million during a 20-year period, Carrico said. The students started funding for the student life center out of their own pockets, said Lauren Richardson, K-State-Salina Student Governing Association president and junior in professional pilot. [Building the center] would mean a lot to the students and to the campus. Jon Wefald, K-State president, said the design and planning of the center could be continued on 32 ■a 30
