West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as
amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated section

and additional space as necessary for day care.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That article eleven, chapter eighteen of the code of West
Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, be
amended by adding thereto a new section, designated section twenty-six, to read as follows:
ARTICLE 11. WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY.

care.
West Virginia University shall establish a day-care program
for the use of the children of the students of the university.
The funds and the space and additional space as necessary for the
day-care center shall be the funds and the space in the Mountain
Lair that are currently used by the bisexual, gay and lesbian
student group. If the funds of the bisexual, gay and lesbian
student group, after being fully exhausted, are insufficient,
then West Virginia University shall use other additional funds to
establish the day-care program.

University to stop funding the gay student organization with
space and additional space as necessary in the Mountain Lair and
use the funds and space for a day-care center instead.
