"You know you're living on bor rowed time," he said. Funding for such work comes from the state and is allocated to the OUS. Current ly the University receives approximately $3.8 million for capital repair funds, but Hecht said the University would need about three times that amount to main tain the building's current conditions while continuing with some repairs. 'That would be enough just to keep us even every year," he said. He said the OUS approached the state Legislature last year with a pro posal to increase funding for repairs that would cover the $500 million over the next 10 years, but it didn't pass. "Because the state financial picture was so bleak last year, we could not advance the bill," he said. "It would have really solved a lot of problems." He said another way of getting funding is to seek out donations. As people become more interested in the University, many decide they want to donate funds to contribute to repairs or to new buildings, such as with the Lillis Business Complex. "We've had a number of buildings that have been fixed up and improved that way, "he said. Milo said the geography department's main office entrance and lunchroom in Condon Hall have undergone remodel ing, including fresh paint and new cabi nets, thanks to alumni donations. But not all departments and col leges are able to raise the money nec essary for needed repairs, Hecht said. "Unfortunately, not every building on campus has been able to get a donor," he said. Despite a tight budget, Hecht said two main areas — utility systems and building roofs — have been well maintained in terms of leaks and de creased power outages. "Those are two big success stories," he said. However, Associate Vice President for Budget and Finance Frances Dyke said she doesn't see overall conditions getting better anytime soon. "Until we get a financial reinvest ment from the state, we're not going to get any better," she said. Dyke said if Measure 30 fails, it will cre ate a greater build-up of deferred costs. However, "we're not out of the woods even if Measure 30 passes," she said. She added that Facilities Services is doing the best it can under the cir cumstances. Hecht said he has hope for the fu ture of campus buildings although it is a widespread problem. "Everybody's struggling with this," he said. "Everybody's tiyingto find a solution" He said he feels students are the most important reason for keeping buildings up to par. "The reason we're all here is for the students to get their education," he said. Contact the higher education/student life/student affairs reporter at chelseaduncan@dailyemerald.com.
