How the EMU referendum got mired in controversy

The Daily Emerald: It’s been a long Friday. ASUO Vice President Nick McCain hasn’t had time to eat since breakfast, so he orders a sandwich and strawberry smoothie from the counter in The Buzz. Jo Niehaus and Ian Needham eye Nick’s smoothie. Meeting here is symbolic in a sense because it is the EMU that brought them all together ... “As a student, I didn’t understand why we have all these brand new facilities, but the student union building, which is supposed to be the heart of campus, was in the shape that it is,” McCain said. “In my opinion, there are universities in the western region that aren’t on our level but have better student union buildings than we do. When the first referendum came out last year, I was in support of it.”
