    Student Tickets

    I have one ticket, and will also be out of town. I'll give it to sodakjoe around 10am, so hopefully you can swing by after then and pick up both tickets. Does that work?

    Campustown/Intermodal Transportation Facility

    Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't see any possible way to give the fire station access from Chamberlain. That station is WAY deeper than it is wide, so it can accommodate fire vehicles. Even if you rotated the whole thing 90 degrees, there's not enough room for them to park that way, to say nothing...

    Campustown/Intermodal Transportation Facility

    Federal funding for 25% of the cost isn't too bad. I hope we can find the other 75%, rather than having to cut out a whole ton of stuff just to make the project cheaper. They had a really great design in the proposal, and I can't see legitimate arguments for cutting out any components that would...

    Campustown/Intermodal Transportation Facility

    Exactly. Homer, if you'd read my post closer, you'd understand. The spots that are "owned" by the city will likely replace most of the current metered spots in Campustown. It will be exactly like using any other pay lot in the area.

    Campustown/Intermodal Transportation Facility

    In response to the parking concerns: the spots in the ramp will be shared by the city and ISU. The university and the city will each have a certain number of spots that they "own", and there will be a certain number of 'swing spaces'- stalls that are ISU by day and city by night/weekend. There...

    Bill Fennelly @ 492 wins

    AGLS is smaller than most of the other colleges, and let's not forget about that little ol' Design college that attracts so many of our women (to say nothing of multiple large Human Sciences and LAS programs that have extremely high proportions of women). The male-female ratio at ISU last year...

    VEISHEA Music

    I'm really excited about the lineup, and frankly amazed. After three years of awful music, this is a really outstanding lineup. I think I'm actually going to see every single band, which is something I've never even come close to doing before. (fun is getting a free pass only because I've never...

    Today's weather

    I found out on Friday that I am a "very strong candidate" to student-teach in Rome next semester, which means that right about the time it starts to get a little chilly here in Iowa, I'm gonna hop on a plane and enjoy a 40-degree temperature jump. Yes, please. Go to hell, Mother Nature.

    GSB votes to lease Varsity Theatre for $365,000

    I'm not 100% clear on this. The current Finance Director is one of the two guys that's headed this project up, so most of the task force left the financial nitty-gritty to those who knew how to do it, and concentrated on contributing in other ways. I want to say that the Investment Account...

    GSB votes to lease Varsity Theatre for $365,000

    While I don't know down-to-the-penny numbers, I believe that the Capital Projects and Investment accounts currently have a little over $700,000 combined. The original Varsity proposal projected costs over $500,000 but that has been significantly dialed back with some major breaks on facility and...

    GSB votes to lease Varsity Theatre for $365,000

    Oh my God. Whatever else your opinions are on the matter, this money ALREADY EXISTS. There will be no increase in student fees related to the Cyclone Cinema. Not now, not later, not ever. Carry on.

    GSB votes to lease Varsity Theatre for $365,000

    Actually, there WAS a poll that was sent out to the entire student body towards the end of the fall semester. Second, myself and other members of the task force went and gave presentations to approximately 55 of the largest student organizations on campus in December, collecting feedback forms...

    GSB votes to lease Varsity Theatre for $365,000

    The theater will go through Regular Allocations for its funding, just like any other student organization. The bill included amendments that capped funding at $60,000 for FY11, and at $45,000 for FY12 and beyond. $60,000 is approximately 4.68% of the total money allocated in Regular Allocations...

    GSB votes to lease Varsity Theatre for $365,000

    I beg to differ. The Cinemark theater failed because when it ended, they showed obscure films at high prices and inopportune showtimes. Cinemark intentionally ran that theater into the ground. Cyclone Cinema will be showing recent blockbusters for $1 (or free), and will be heavily marketed to...

    GSB votes to lease Varsity Theatre for $365,000

    Responses to page 5 posts: The only way to change that is to eliminate GSB entirely, and cease funding student organizations. The University certainly does not give GSB all of its funding. GSB's financial latitude and purpose does not include applying student fees to reducing tuition. That is...

    GSB votes to lease Varsity Theatre for $365,000

    Responses to page 4 posts: No. Correct. The theaters have stages in them, and can be used for lectures, group gatherings, or other types of events. They will be available for rent to both campus organizations and community groups. Once again, this is not University money. This is GSB...

    GSB votes to lease Varsity Theatre for $365,000

    Just got back from class. Responses from Page 3 posts: FFF and SUB Films aren't clubs; they are entertainment programs funded as services of two student organizations. And yes, they are both doing 'fine'- so well, in fact, that supply doesn't come even close to meeting demand. Neither program...

    GSB votes to lease Varsity Theatre for $365,000

    Yes. Both Free Friday Flicks and SUB Films show Hollywood blockbusters shortly after they leave first-run theaters. Both will continue to show that level of movie, as will the Cyclone Cinema's own programming. In fact, movies may experience an upgrade, as it will actually be cheaper for the two...

    GSB votes to lease Varsity Theatre for $365,000

    With all due respect and understanding to each of you, my head hurts. I am a member of the Varsity Theater Task Force, an At-Large Representative in IRHA, and participated in the GSB debates the past two weeks (including Wednesday night's marathon). This is a mammoth proposal that has been in...

    $20 hotel tip trick

    Haha, I would love to know how many other sports fan message boards can reasonably consider 'saving a honeymoon' a normal activity.
