The Varsity Task Force is seeking to gather student feedback before its presentation to the Board of Regents.

An e-mail sent out to all students late Wednesday night featuring a survey and the announcement of the second open forum which was held on Thursday at 6 p.m. in the Memorial Union.

Turk, two members of the task force, and two students showed up to the open forum.

Brian Ryherd, one of the task force members at the meeting, said that the students didn’t have a strong opinion for or against the theater.

“One student wanted to figure out where the money was coming from, and the other was trying to figure out what other options on campus the money could be used for,” Ryherd said.

Ryherd didn’t believe another open forum would be held, and said the next step toward proposing the bill to the Regents would be closing the online survey and evaluating the results.

The survey asked questions about whether or not students think Ames needs another movie theater, and if students think it is a proper expenditure of GSB’s money.

Tom Danielson, GSB finance director and a member of the task force, said he is focusing on finalizing the lease agreement, in preparation for a presentation to the Regents.

Danielson said the lease could be done by the end of February, but that the timeline may be an ambitious goal.

Chandra Peterson, GSB vice president and task force member, said the task force is still working with administration and working to answer questions and concerns about the proposal.
