KSU breaks ground on the Convocation Center
KSU's new ice hockey 6-5 in their first season
The large mound of dirt that can be seen from the East Parking Deck at KSU will soon be a 45, 000 square foot arena. On Jan. 17, KSU broke ground on what will be a new Classroom Convocation Center, a $19-$20 million facility donated by the Georgia State Legislature. The center will be used by the basketball teams, and will give the health and fitness departments more classroom space. It will also be used for conventions, premier speakers for students and faculty, athletic events and graduation ceremonies. The Convocation Center is scheduled for completion by early spring of 2005.
Imagine playing a game you love so much and actually having the opportunity to form a team from scratch at your school. Well, this is what happened for the group of guys that make up KSU's first ice hockey team.
FEBRUARY Sturgis Library facing journal loss Faxon/RoweCom, a subsidiary of divine, Inc., supplied the library with journals and annual standing order titles for more than ten years. The library paid Faxon $193,243 in Nov. for
690 titles, but Faxon has only paid publishers $8,173 for 114 titles this year according to its latest status report. Faxon/RoweCom officials filed a fraudulent activity complaint against divine, Inc., for $63.6 million and also filed for bankruptcy protection on Jan. 27, hoping to sell the company to its biggest competitor, EBSCO, a subscription agent based in Birmingham. Library Director Bob Williams is concerned about and aware of the possible harm to the journal collection but says nothing has happened so far. "I'm keeping my fingers crossed," he said.
Randy Krise campaigns to bring football to KSU Alumnus and Real Estate Broker Randy Krise dreams of forming a KSU football team. In an effort to create a high sense of school pride among alumni, current students and Cobb residents, Krise is proposing an Owls football team. He refers to his push as a "one-man campaign" and said every great plan begins with one person's idea. "I just love Kennesaw," he said, "and I just decided, for a couple of reasons, that we need football."
