Students on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus narrowly voted down an advisory referendum designed to gauge support for an addition to the Memorial Union Theater lobby. The non-binding referendum was part of the Associated Students of Madison?s fall ballot. The question stated: “Do you support the current design of the student/theater lounge addition for the Memorial Union?” This roughly 3,000 square feet of glassed-in space — which also will serve year-round as a student lounge — extends north onto part of the Union?s upper Terrace. The final tally: 2,363 (50.2 percent) voted no; 2,340 (49.8 percent) voted yes.
