State Universities' Legislative Goals

Dear Editor,

The Montana University System is made up of the public Montana colleges and universities working to support each other during this legislative session.

One of the goals of Montana State University during this session is to obtain funding from the legislature to renovate Romney Hall. I attended MSU – Bozeman from 1974 – 1978 It was old then, it is older now.

One of the purposes of a renovated Romney Hall is to provide services for an updated Veterans Center. The current Veterans Center is a 750 square foot room in the basement of the Stand Union Building. An updated Romney would provide 19 classrooms with more than 1,000 classroom seats.

Montana State University has raised money for needed improvements in the last eight years from private donors or bonded itself more that $308 million.

We would request the Legislature to appropriate funds to update Romney and help our veterans.

Sincerely,

Kim Enkerud

Glasgow, Mont.
