Meeting: Footnotes requests on-campus space ■ Continued from Page 1 “Not being located in the EMU would put us in jeopardy of con tinuing to exist,” Footnotes Coor dinator Kristin King said. “We would last approximately one year outside of campus... if we were lo cated on 13th Avenue, we would have to pay about three times the rent we pay now.” King emphasized that Footnotes has been in operation since 1967 — without the use of student in centive fees. “We have never asked for one dime from the students’ fees,” King said. In order to keep the cost of the notes relatively cheap, the Univer sity needs to continue supporting Footnotes by allocating space in the EMU, said Devon London, a Footnotes employee and Foot notes Board Member. “We don’t gouge students on the price of our services because we can operate on the costs for the notes,” London said. “We are for the students." The Footnotes representatives all voiced a willingness to operate elsewhere in the EMU, if need be. Currently Footnotes occupies a 700 square foot space in the EMU, but representatives said a 500 foot space is the minimum space need ed for operating. “The discussion and debate is about whether or not the 700 square feet is appropriate — not whether Footnotes is a valid ser vice,” said House Member Geneva Wortman. This central question was an swered by many of the Footnotes employees and supporters. “We [Footnotes] have operated as a fiscally-responsible organiza tion,” King said. “I don’t think ASUO programs have any more of a right to exist in the EMU than does Footnotes.... We need space in the EMU, and a minimum of 500 square feet.” The time between Wednesday’s meeting determining the House recommendation and the EMU Board of Directors meeting next week is a fair amount of time for misconceptions and concerns to be clarified, Guevara said. “The week gives time for every one involved to think about the in formation presented and recom mended, and an informed decision about Footnotes can be fi nalized," Guevara said.
