I will judge the amount of money they've charged us by the end result. If it turns out this wasn't a wise choice, this is a two-year contract and we can always re-evaluate.

It's really our only major fund-raiser, so it's very important to us. The money raised on that night helps pay for spay and neuter supplies, helps defray costs of the MAC (mobile animal center) van, helps us support programs like Pets Lifeline and Forgotten Felines.

This year will be different; the Student Programming Association is investing more money, so that means there will be more food and games.

It will probably take about $15 million to build a facility. It'll require public-private partnerships, also, because so much of the wood comes from public land.

That will probably be decided by someone other than us,

We got lucky that all this money came to us. I don't think the president can possibly understand that.
