Hopes for a new science facility put on hold AMY BROACH business manager If you are a freshman science major and were told that Guilford stands a chance at getting a new science facility, you received cor rect information but will be sorely disappointed. For the past three years, Guil ford has been talking with the F.W. Olin Foundation of New York. This foundation gives grants to independent colleges for new aca demic buildings. And for Guilford, the greatest need for a building is in the sciences. The new science building would consist of four stories, each level dedicated to one of the four natural sciences at Guilford: biol ogy, geology, chemistry and phys ics. If Guilford were to receive the grant, the foundation would fully and solely fund the project, includ The Community Record vital issues and events in community senate Community Senate was held on January 31 and February 6. The issue of renovations to campus buildings was a main topic of the January meeting. It was re ported that Hege-Cox will be com pleted over this summer. Possible renovations to King Hall would cost in excess of 4 million dollars. Also, Monty Milner made a ver bal promise to Senate to support the renovating of the Under ground. The Communications Commit tee is in the process of working on the Tour Guidebook, which should be completed in the following weeks.

However, there is one catch. The Olin Foundation stipulates that they will not accept an appli cation from a college whose presi dent is in their last year, or a new president who has not completed two years at the school. So where does that put Guilford's science students? On a three-year waiting list. Since this is Bill Rogers' last year, the foun dation will discuss, but not accept, an application from our school. And when Don McNemar arrives, the talks will continue another two years. Olin feels that a new president should be "familiar with the needs of their institution and [be able] to complete strategic and other kinds of planning that are important for gaining the most from a building now in effect for all residence halls. Information has been distrib uted to hall directors and RA's. In new business, the Senate ap proved constitutions for both a new track and field club and for Bio hazard, the Ultimate Frisbee team. Concern was expressed about the lack of clarity regarding the degree of competitiveness, and how that affects the money allocated to the newly formed clubs. That issue will be discussed separately in the future. Also, Senate passed the SRC's Non-Smoking Proposal, which will set aside a wing in Binford Hall, on as many floors as is nec essary, for non-smoking students to reside. news grant." So what is happening in the meantime? Gordon Soenksen, vice president of institutional advance ment says that his office is "con tinuing to study all the needs for the science facility." Soenksen and Dan Poteet, pro vost, agree that King Hall is in need of major renovations. Poteet says that King's temperature and ventilation problems are on the top of the list and major decisions will be made in the next six to eight months. How long will Guilford have to wait for a chance at the grant? Soenksen stated that the average application period is seven to ten years. Putting the greatest prob ability well after the year 2000, long after those that had hoped and dreamed for the facility have gone on to bigger and better things. Deliberation continued on the matter of the identity statement proposed by the Board of Trustees. Many senators disagreed with the wording of the statement and pledged to propose a newly worded statement of their own. Future plans include a table and a full meeting devoted to the subject. The budget for this year's edi tion of The Quaker was also agreed upon, at $25,442.33, a significant drop from the money budgeted them last year. And finally, Senate passed the Budget Committee proposal to buy seven swings for the following ar eas: the Danas, Milner, Bryan, Bin ford, English, the Library, and the Founders patio.
