About 28 percent of students who voted on the referendum -- or 2,873 students -- voted against the measure. The fee increase of about $125 a semester per student is expected to go into effect beginning in the fall of 2013, affecting current freshmen and sophomores as well as incoming students. Some students are still unsure if the remodeled facility will be worth the money. "I think he would think it was worth it," Nordeck said.
