  KSU associate provost Laura Davis said interest remains strong in the May 4 shootings more than 38 years after the event.
  
  She points to 22 books about the shootings, 40,000 hits peryear since 2000 on the May 4 collection in the university library and 17 national and 27 statewide articles in 2006 and 2007 about the shootings.
  
  "We feel very strongly about making the history more available in a permanent way.We , the witnesses and people who were around then , won't be here forever," said Davis, who as a KSU student was a demonstrator and a witness to the shootings.
  ...
  That seeming delay of decades is OK, Davis said, because, "We're at the point of the cycle where people start to think about writing history."
  
  She envisions turning the former Daily Kent Stater office into a permanent historic site with multimedia presentations about the student unrest at KSU and how it fit into the larger story of the Vietnam War.
  
  She also foresees a virtual visitor center in a Web-site format, a brochure and audio program that guide visitors who tour the site, special live programs and training students and other volunteers to serve as docents in the center.
  
  The first step would be to secure the planning grant, using the money to develop fundraising tools, she said.
  
  Eventually, the university could apply for a National Endowment for the Humanities grant that could cover some or all of the construction cost.
  
  She hopes to have the visitor center open by October 2010.

  Laura Davis, associate provost for Planning and Academic Resource Management, is responsible for investigating the impact of the closing of the pool.
  
  She said the pool already costs $50,000 per year for upkeep and operations.The necessary renovation of the pool would cost more than $1 million - much more than the administration can handle.
  
  "Probably the only way it could be kept is through a substantial private donation, but that is unlikely," she said.
  
  The closing of the pool will result in a variety of changes for more than the sports camp.Several majors within the School of Exercise, Leisure and Sport use the pool, including a course that serves community clients with disabilities.Davis said the course would remain, but the university would remove the swimming aspect of the class.Some of these courses may use the rec center pool while others may just need to eliminate the feature from their course, Davis added.
