lulfillment is
now serving the college and
surrounding areas with means to
meet the demanding needs of
education and expansion, both
present and future. Along with
the new Nursing Building, being
a major component in this
program, will come a new
Learning Resource Center.
Students and faculty are going to
get a new library.
Increased student enrollment
and book acquisition are two
major factors necessitating the
new facility. The new Learning
Resource Center will relieve the
restricted and congested con
ditions now being experienced.
Of greatest significance, it will
provide new approaches in
educational methodology.
The Learning Resource Center
has become the pivotal core of
the educational process on
today’s campus. Student time
devoted to individual study has
been steadily on the rise. Hence,
new study carrels (work desks),
a major feature, will assume
some 80 per cent of the seating
spaces in the new building.
The first floor will house a
vestibule, lobby, and checkout
desk. Surrounding these will be a
service area arranged for
cataloguing, acquisitioning,
shelving preparation, reference
books, microfilm materials, and
periodicals. Study carrels will be
located on the perimeter
(around the edge) and mingled
among the book stacks.
Plans for the second floor
indicate a wide usage of space
for general reading areas, a

The S.N.E.A., Student
National Education Association,
is more formally known in North
Carolina as SNCAE-SNEA
(Student North Carolina
Association of Educators-
Student National Education
Association).
The SNEA is the largest
organization on AC campus,
with the exception of the SGA to
which every student enrolled to
AC belongs. AC ranked third
highest in membership in the
state of North Carolina last year
with 118 members. We hope to
have as many and even more
members this year, but only
with YOUR membership.
SNEA is open to all students
who are involved in education.
This includes elementary,
secondary and hearing impaired
education.
The Clyde Erwin Chapter of
SNEA at AC has been active at
the state level as well as the
local level. Several of its
members have held state offices
and responsible positions in the
organization. Sue Ann Suggs, a
senior at AC this year was
elected state vice-president of
the SNCAE at the state con
vention in Charlotte this past
spring.
Officers for the 1974-75 school
year are: Wayne Moore,
president; Velma Robertson,
vice-president; Janie Register,
secretary; and Debbie Holmes,
treasurer. Any of the officers as
well as Sue Ann Suggs will be
glad to talk to any interested
person.
The first meeting of the SNEA
will be on Tuesday, September
24 at 11 o’clock in room 207-208.
All interested persons are in
vited to attend.
curriculum material center and
additional carrels including
those for special faculty use. The
second floor will house most of
the general collection.
Preliminaries call for a two-
level building to contain an area
of some 28,000 square feet to be
located across Lee Street from
C. L. Hardy Library. Con
struction is to begin sometime in
late spring '75. A completion
date could not be obtained, nor
finalized, but a minimum of 18
months for construction can be
expected. The building, once
completed will seat some 250
readers and provide shelf space
for 182,000 volumes. The college
possesses at present some 90,000
volumes.
At present, some $288,000 has
been committed for construction
of the new building. A name for
the new center has been ob
tained as a result of a $250,000
contribution by that individual.
This name could not be obtained
by this reporter because of
anonymous intentions by the
donor at this time.
There are other com
memorative opportunities
available for the new center.
Perhaps of interest to many are
the costs of such com
memorative units. Examples of
the units and their individual
costs are: (1) To name the
Learning Resource Center;
$250,000; (2) To name the first
floor, $150,000; (3) entrance
vestibule, $25,000; (4) main
lobby $60,000; (5) office of the
librarian, $15,000; (6) student
work rooms, each $1,500; (7)
carrels, each $1,000. The linking
of a gift with a commerative unit
is intended only to give
recognition to the person named
by the donor or to the donor’s
own generosity. The values
shown above do not necessarily
relate to actual costs but are
based on location and
desirability.
So the library of the past has
become the library of the
present and the future: The
Learning Resource Center.

Campus
Parking
Recently students have ex
pressed concern over the lack of
on campus parking. There were
1,050 parking stickers issued to
students this year and ap
proximately 550 on campus
parking spaces for all these
people. This figure of 550 spaces
is on campus only. It does not
include the parking available off
campus.
According to Dean Nadelman,
there would not really be a
problem if students were not
afraid to walk a short distance to
class, say from the gym to Hines
Hall. The administration seems
to have done as much as they
can to increase on campus
parking. According to Dean
Nadelman, attempts have been
made to make the lot on the
corner of Woodard and Deans a
parking lot, but attempts have
been unsuccessful.
Parking spaces across the
street from the Music Building
have been added and according
to Dean Nadelman, Corbett Ave.
would provide a few extra
spaces if the students would not
mind walking.
So far students have been
risking the $2.00 parking fine to
park where they want to. Ap
proximately 300 tickets have
been issued since the beginning
of school and that is far too
many. The students will just
have to make do with the
parking facilities the way they
are.
If any student has any
questions or suggestions about
parking, then contact Dean
Nadelman or one of the following
members of the parking com
mittee: David Possage, Brad
Maloen, Kay Meador, and Janet
Poole.
