As the first permanent student union facility on a California State University campus, the Aztec Center has a lot of history. Since it opened more than 40 years ago, however, the Aztec Center has also had a lot of problems.
Almost 10 years and just as many Associated Student councils have come and gone since the idea of a new student union has dominated discussion about development at San Diego State. Tomorrow will mark the third time since 2002 that A.S. has asked students to vote on a fee increase to fund the construction of a new student union building.
While the Modern Space project may seem like just another random fee to add to the list, San Diego State is no stranger to student union debates, and The Daily Aztec’s 1963 coverage of the very first student union vote rings eerily similar to today’s debate.
