<"It is sort of frustrating as you're trying to offer students different things, different programs and different events, and your budget continues to decline and I don't think anyone wants to see a decline in programming but I think with the number of external forces that there are, especially with the economy the way it is, it's difficult">
BARNHARDT SAYS THE CENTER'S PROGRAMS ARE THE ONLY SMALLER EVENTS FOR STUDENTS ON CAMPUS AND THAT HIS BUDGET HAS BEEN CUT BY ALMOST HALF OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS.
HE BELIEVES THE CENTER SHOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP CURRENT PROGRAMS BUT WON'T OFFER ANY NEW ONES.
SOME STUDENTS DISAGREE WITH THE UNIVERSITY'S BUDGET CUTS AND ARE ASKING FOR EXPLANATIONS.
