The remaining 115- million for construction would become available during the 1962-83 budget year. Dr. Robinson said WCU will proceed as quickly as ‘‘possible and prudent” with the project.

Other features include an ice rink for skating, bad weather practice areas for tennis, baseball and other sports, seating areas which are convertible to 300 to 600 -seat “mini auditioriums” for con ferences, lectures and films and a full complement of support areas for in tramural and in tercollegiate sports ac tivities, performing arts and conferences. “It has been our goal from the outset of this project to gain a regional facility that will benefit our students and the people of Western North Carolina in a wide variety of ways. We have every in tention of building and operating this activities center as a facility for the people,” Robinsion said. Types of events Robinson said are expected for the center include plays, con- Set certs, sporting events, adult education programs, business and commercial meetings, conventions, events and programs related to the adjacent national parks, events related to mountain heritage programs, public interest events and large meeting and hearings related to state and local government.

Decorating Class Takes Field Trip The Interior Decorating class, an extension of Martin Community College of Williamston, visited the home of Joe M. and Linda Williford of Route 2, Wind sor, Monday night. Gail Leggett Roberson, the course instructor, brought the members to the Williford home located near Sans Souci, both as an outing and learning ex perience. The Williford home is approximately 200 years old, and has recently undergone extensive remodeling by the Willifords. They have done a great deal of work them selves, and Linda has shown a special knack and talent in decorating the home, using means of her own ingenuity and imagination, as well as showing a great deal of style and personality. The home is done in a country-traditional flavor, lending itself to special FISH FRY The Church of God will sponsor a Fish Fry August Bth, 11 A.M - 5 P.M Location: Front of N. Broad Street Proceeds to go toward remodeling the church auditorium points of interests throughout each room. A great deal of wallpaper is used both downstairs and upstairs, and a warm, ‘ country color scheme flows evenly throughout the home, creating both an inviting and relaxing atmosphere which made the class feel right at home. By the use of baskets, plants, and personal ac cessories, the Willifords portray the perfect example of a home that can be pleasing to the eye and comfortable, even on a limited budget, with the aid result being that of beauty far beyond the average. The home is an excellent example of what can be obtained from a com bination of acquired skills and basic knowledge of interior decorating, mixed with a vivid imagination and personal choices. The class was able to see a Thursday, August 6, 1981 great many techniques at work which the instructor had pressed upon their minds during class periods, and the information gained from the excursion of the Williford home was the very highlight of the course.
