By a slim majority of 23 votes, UW-Madison students said they did not support the theater lobby addition for the Memorial Union in an advisory referendum. About 11 percent of the student body voted in the election. The theater lobby has been a controversial part of a $52 million plan to renovate Memorial Union. Critics say the new glass expansion will block views from the Union Terrace. Wisconsin Union officials say it will improve the atmosphere.
