W. Colvard. The suggestion for the new site is the mall that will eventually be built behind the present University Union. The forthcoming gymnasium will be located at the far end of this mall. The bell, after due considerations, will be placed within this mall since it will be the future focal point of stu dent activity. The idea of placing this age less landmark of tradition and heritage was presented to Chan cellor Colvard last Wednesday in a letter anda consequent meet ing on Thursday with its origi nators, Mr. John Gaither, past President of the student body, Mr. Bill Billups, present SGA president, Mr. Rod Smith, Caro lina Journal Editor, Mr. Wayne Eason, Attorney General, and Mr. Mike Combs, student judge. Mr. Bud Stewart, Barnstormer Editor, could not attend the meet ing but did aid in the formula tion of the suggestion. These members and associa tes of environmentally majestic festivities committee do feel that the placing of this timeless sym bol will greater join together the unity and spirit that will make this campus grow and become one of the best in the state.
