RAM S HORN VOL. Ill NO. 3 SOUTHEASTERN COMMUNITY COLLEGE FEBRUARY, 1977 Construction On Campus Growing Mr. Bob Stanley, business manager of Southeastern Community College, has been busy helping to establish the process of a million dollar plus construction project. New projects are on the way. The building by the technical building is a multi-purpose building. The building will be used as a shop area for welding and body work. Welding will be moved to this new building. The body shop and sewing classes will be moved on campus when completion of the building is made. This building will give us additional classroom space for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On these days classes go on continuously from 8:30 - 11:30; no vacant classes are to be found. Additional vocational and technical courses will be taught in this building. The building also will be used for daytime meetings brought to us from the public. It will also provide a place for workshops that are offered. The art area in the auditorium has been too small for its demands. The building extension will consist .of an art studio and ceramics laboratory. The deadline for the completion of both buildings is August of 1977. The new projects that are to be planned are to extend the campus roadways, put up more street lights, develop a water loop on campus, and also a parking lot extension. —Jo-Ann Munn Special Services Gives Dinner The Special Service staff extended their congratulations to fourteen very deserving students by giving them a dinner at the Chadbourn Motel Restaurant, Chadbourn, North Carolina, on Wednesday night January 26, 1977.
