- Item: Gaertner outlines SHSU’s 10-year plan
- James Gaertner, on replacing the Lowman Student Center: "the LSC was built in the early 1960s and it has gotten to the point where it’s getting outdated and needs to come down. It was renovated about eight or nine years ago. We won’t tear it down until three or four years from now. It will come down. It needs to. We will build a new student center right there in the same place in the middle of the campus."
