The building plan includes $1.7 million for a new physical education facility and other improvements at West High School. It also calls for 12 new classrooms and several remodeled areas at Preble High School at a cost of $2.3 million, new vocational education rooms and classroom renovation at East High at a cost of $1.1 million and a new library, cafeteria and other improve-' ments at Washington Junior High for Zima also led an effort to force an $11.4 million downtown redevelopment plan to a referendum in 1980.

An 18-minute film introduced the President, and the evening concluded with Ray Charles' rendition of "America, The Beautiful." Here are excerpts from the night's main addresses: President Reagan: "The choices this year are not just between two different personalities, or between two political parties.

"By nearly every measure, the position of poor Americans worsened under the leadership of our opponents.

Teen-age drug use, out-of-wedlock births and crime increased dramatically. Urban neighborhoods and schools deteriorated. Those whom government intended to help discovered a cycle of dependency that could not be broken. Government became a drug providing temporary relief, but in the way of a $6.5 million Green Bay school renovation project, which faces voter scrutiny in a Sept. 11 referendum.

Zima led the campaign to defeat a school building and renovation plan in the district's only previous referendum in 1977. But he said Thursday there is little "fat" in the new project. "The project has been reduced more to the necessities, rather than a pie in the sky attitude," the West Side alderman said. Voters will be asked in the referendum whether they support spending $8.5 million to renovate and upgrade facilities at four high schools and two junior high schools. The Green Bay Education Association, the union representing the school district's 1,000 teachers, submitted petitions calling for the referendum in June.

It was intended to be the first part of a $13 million building and renovation plan. Zima led the drive to put the 1977 project on the ballot and campaigned for voter rejection of the plan.

GBEA members will discuss the union's position on the referendum at a general membership meeting next Thursday. Zima said he does not plan to take an active role in support of the school project.

He said it will be up to individual taxpayers to decide whether they can afford the facilities plan. "I don't know if the timing is right for a fairly large expenditure," he said.
