Miller Hall renovation project approved;
Western capital budget totals $79 million
Hailey Tucker
THE WESTERN FRONT
Despite drastic cuts in Western's operating
budget over the next two years,
the Washington legislature approved more
than 79 percent of the university's capital
budget, which will provide $79.4 million
to be used for renovations and maintenance
on campus.
Western's capital budget for the
2009-11 biennium was released April 24
and answered the long-standing question
of whether the university would be able to
undertake its largest renovation project for
the two-year period: Miller Hall.
Of the total capital budget, $54.6 million
is designated for a major renovation
of Miller Hall, which will modernize, expand
and make the building meet the standards
of accessibility that are laid out in
the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The capital budget is funded primarily
by state-issued bonds with an additional
portion provided by local appropriations.
The local funds are a combination of a
building fee component in Western's tuition
and money from the Normal School
Fund, which pays an interest income from
timber revenues, said Renee Roberts, director
of the capital budget.
The capital budget is reserved for
maintaining the physical.entity of Western,
such as buildings and technologies
on campus. This is separate from the operating
budget that funds the functions of
the university, such as paying salaries and
purchasing supplies.
"[The operating budget] is day-today.
The [capital budget] is longer term.
You're creating a fixed asset when you're
done," Roberts said.
The money approved by the legis

THE WESTERN FRONT
When Troy Abel, assistant professor
for environmental studies, arrived to his
office after his 8 a.m. class two weeks ago,
something was not right. He realized his
laptop, which he had left on his desk when
he went home at 4 p.m. the. day before,
was gone.
The environmental studies department
bought the laptop for Abel when he
started teaching at Western three years
ago, and he had been saving his work files
on the computer ever since.
"i have backups, but now I have to
reconstitute things, which has slowed me
down, knocked me off my groove and
made me more cantankerous than usual,"
Abel said. "Being an absent minded professor,
I wasn't very systematic about my
backup system."
"People on campus are not destitute;
by and large, they are not
impoverished. It is probably not
a need-based thing; it is probably
a greed-based thing.
- Ron Helms, associate
professor of sociology
Abel's laptop theft is symptomatic of
a recent spike in burglaries on campus this
quarter. Since Feb. 22, there have been 20
burglaries, attempted burglaries and thefts
involving electronic equipment reported
in residence halls and academic buildings,
Randy Stegmeier, chief of University Police
said. Of those, nine have been reports
of stolen laptops, including Abel's.
In comparison, only 11 burglaries
were reported during the 2007 calendar
year; the 2008 statistics are not yet available
to the public, said David Doughty, assistant
director of public safety.
"This rise in property burglaries is a
little bit of an indication of the climate we
are in as far as the economic downturn and
everybody struggling financially," Stegmeier
said. "I think that there are those
that, in times like this, turn to stealing
from others to try and make up the losses
and pressures that they are feeling."
