Rec center committee to inform students

An Associated Students Inc. committee has been meeting in recent weeks to develop and promote a campaign to educate Cal State Long Beach students about the proposed student recreation center.
 
The committee is responsible for conducting an educational campaign that will inform the campus community about the student recreation center in the most effective manner.
 
“Our meetings are every Wednesday at 1 p.m.,” said Sen. Adam Anderson said.
 
Anderson said the committee wants to encourage as many students as possible to get involved in the campaign to bring a student recreation center to CSULB.
 
In a Nov. 6 Senate meeting, Anderson requested the presence of more senators at the committee meetings.
 
“Last week I was the only senator at the meeting,” Anderson remarked. “We would like more of you to attend these meetings.”
 
Anderson also commented that the committee is in need of student volunteers.
 
“By the spring we hope to have 75 people working to promote the Student Recreation center on campus,” Anderson said.
 
The committee is still very much in the recruitment stage. The members will be setting up informational booths on campus, posting and handing out fliers as well as handbills — yellow flyers that are already prevalent on campus — while making classroom presentations. The committee has also placed a promotional ad in the On-line Forty-Niner.
 
One of the more delicate issues facing the committee is the parking situation and the possibility of a parking fee increase. Sen. Ricardo Carlos said he would be leading an informational research team that will explore the aspects of that situation and others pertaining to the construction of the student recreation center.
 
The Student Recreation Center committee meets in the USU - 225 every Wednesday at 1 p.m. At its last meeting, committee members reiterated the fact that they must get as many students involved as possible.
 
The committee is recruiting organizational presidents as well as members of the college councils in an effort to bolster their campaign. To volunteer or get information on the committee, call Anderson at (562) 985-5241.
