"Might I also note that the $17,160 is far more in cost than H/L had stated
CCers were paying several months ago (I think it was like $4000)."

As the L part of H/L, I'm afraid I have to clutter the discussion with fact
<gasp>:  Donovan's recollection is just plain wrong because the earlier
discussions pertained *only* to facility (Kibbie Dome) rental.  I
specifically *didn't* go into all the other associated costs because those,
of course, will vary from event to event depending on what's involved &
contracted for.

In any case, for those interested in the facts:

Sorry for the delay, but on 3/16/2005, Donavan Arnold wrote:
"When I was in the student government (ASUI) at UI, we charged $10,000 for
non-student organizations to use the ASUI Kibbie Dome. That money raised is
used to support the Kibbie Dome and make it cheaper for student activities
and events to take place in the Kibbie Dome."

Wow, prices must have plummeted since then!  Donavan, do you mind sharing
with us when you were in student government and for what period of time that
$10,000 rental would have covered?

According to the contract, the Christ Church Trinity Festival is paying a
mere $3000 to rent the Kibbie Dome for four days (8 AM  8/7 to 8 PM
8/10/05), which amounts to only $750 per day.  Even including the associated
costs ($1500 set-up/load-in; $1000 breakdown; $800 maintenance/custodian),
the total facility rental is only $6300, significantly less than what the
ASUI charged when you were there.

Does anyone have any idea of why the cost has come down so much?

Sheesh -- I sure wish (as I'm sure do the students) the costs of other
things on campus would have similarly decreased!

For those who want to see the actual contract, please see:

The facility rental amount that Donovan Arnold earlier didn't believe is
right there on page one for God and everyone else to see.
