The Board of Regents finalized a $650,000 construction project with the building commission last week to enhance the current softball complex.

The possibility of UW-Madison breaking off from the UW System could have ripple, if not wave, effects on UW-Whitewater.

As buildings and different aspects of campus are upgraded, some may wonder where the money comes from to construct such things during tough economical times. While state and national governments face massive debts, UW-Whitewater is still able to improve the looks and functions of its campus. Without the help of David L. Kachel, the UW-Whitewater campus would not look like it does today. Kachel died last Thursday at the age of 83.
