’cs at its annual spring meeting
held on the Elon campus on Wed-
le.sday, March 3rd.

Plans for the construction of a
new men’s dormitory and a new
student center and for the renova
tion of an existing cla.ssroom build
ing on the Elon College campus
wore announced this week by Dr.
I E. Danieley, president of the
college, acting on authorization giv
en by the F^lon College trustees at
their recent .innual meeting.
The new men’s dormitory, which
vill be constructed in the south-
oasl corner of Elon’s walled campus.
■11 be a three-story brick structure
.ind of a traditional architectural
lesign to blend with other buildings
on the Hon campus. It is planned t/
house 150 men students.
The East Dormitory, only one of
Klon’s original buildings still stand
ing on the campus, is to be ust>d
for other purposes while l)eing pre
served for its historic value, and
the temporary wooden building
I known as South Dormitory will be
torn down to provide space for the
proposed new student center.
The schedule of construction for
the new dormitory has not lieen
set, but the plans call for early
negotiation of a loan from the Fed
eral Housing and Home Finance
Agency, with the cost of the struc-
;ure to be amortized by rental in
come. This plan was also used in
he construction some years ag:i of
the Carolina and Smith Hall dormi-
• ories for men and the Virginia Hall
dormitory for women.
The second new building to house
a student center on the Elon campus
will be a two-story brick structure,
•iso of traditional design, to be lo
cated on the site of the wooden
building that now houses South
Dormitory and a number of offices
.or faculty and student activities.
The new student center will fur
nish space for the student mail box
es, the college book store, a camp
us snack shop with adjoining patio,
quarters for the student health serv-
ces. a student lounge and game
room and office space for the Stu
dent Government Association and
(he campus publications, along with
quarters for the college photogra
pher and number of rooms for
meetings, conferences and music
listening.
Slated for a complete renovation
this summer at an estimated cost
of $100,000 is the Duke Memorial
Science Building, originally built in
the 1920’s and which houses the
classrooms for mathematics and the
various natural sciences. This re
novation program is made possible
as a result of the funds derived
from the college’s "Diamond Anni
versary Fund Campaign” that was
held last year.
SGA Constilulion May
Be Ready For Vote Soon
SGA President Fred Stephenson,
says that it is hoped that a newlv
Ti'fted SGA Constitution will be
presented to the Senate before the
end of his term of office which ends
on May 3rd.
“Although the new constitution
won't go into effect until after the
Board of Trustees meets next Fall,
we hope to get both Senate and
Student Body approval before the
nd of the current .semester,” Ste
phenson reported.
The present structure of the Stu
dent Government Association in all
likelihood will not be changed by
the con.stitution, but it is hoped that
the constitution will be firm but
more flexible to make practical
working conditions in SGA easier
The committee responsible for the
redrafting is planning to conduct a
hearing on the set-up of the Honor
Court as the present structure may
need revisions. Nothing definite has
