NUMBER FIFTEEN
Old SGA Quarters
Will Bow To Dorm
Ah, True Love . . . Happy Valentines
By JIM BUSSELL
The Student Government
Association Building, located on
West Lee Street adjacent to
Tweety’s, will be razed sometime
around the first of April to make
way for a new girl’s dormitory. In
order to make way for the new
dorm the student offices housed
in the building will be relocated in
the bottom floor of Hardy Alumni
Hall.
Involved in the transition will
be the SGA Cabinet offices (those
of the president, vice-president,
secretary and treasurer), the
“Pine Knot” office, and the
Collegiate offices.
Tentative plans for the new
quarters call for the addition of
an office to house campus group
and club files, and a conference
room in which the Executive
Board can hold bi-monthly
meetings. At the present time the
board meetings are held in Hines
Hall. Placement offices for the
college will also be housed in the
section.
According to Milton Adams,
business manager for the college,
the exact date for demolition of
the present student office
building cannot be determined
until a bid is made and accepted
for construction of the new dorm.
Dr. Robert E. Bennett, dean of
students, and Adams met with
representatives of the student
organizations Tuesday morning
and outlined present plans for the
move. Both explained that the
funds for remodeling the old
Bohunk were to come from the
college alumni. However, they
said,adequate funds are ap
parently not available at the
present time to undergo complete
remodeling.
The two told the student
representatives that it may be
necessary for the organizations
to move into temporary housing
in the Bohunk. It is hoped that
renovation of the area will be
completed soon after the
organizations move.
