Visiting historian to discuss today’s liuman condition
By Jennifer Heglar
Noted historian and author
Christopher Lasch, will explore
"Science, Technology and the
Contemporary Human Condition" in
a public lecture at UNGA Sept.
11 at 7;30 p.m.
Lasch, professor of history at
the University of Rochester,
will also speak to several UNCA
classes Sept. 11 and Sept. 12.
Bill Sabo, political science
lecturer and moderator of the
discussions, said that Lasch*s
ideas are innovative and often
spark debate.
"It*s unusual for an acade
mic’s ideas to provoke contro
versy like his ideas have," Sabo
said.
"I guess I would probably be
considered one of his fans," he
added.
According to Phyllis Betts,
coordinator for the professor’s
visit, funds allocated to the
department from a $4,000 GTE
company grant will pay for the
professor's trip.
Sabo named Ooltuze of liarcls-
IflniBal Self, Agony
of the AMerlcan Left, and Haven
in a Heartless Horld: The Faaily
Beselged as Lasch's literary
accomplishments.

Deadlines extended one week
The Student Government Associ
ation (SGA) has extended the
^dline for submitting nomina
tions for three freshman senator
^sitions, said Neal Rhoades,
^ president.
Students now have until Sept.
2 to submit candidates' names.
Elections will be held Sept.
^ and Sept. 16 from 10 a.m. to
p.m. in the Highsmith Student
filter.
I just don't think we gave
People enough time, ’’ said
Rhoades. "I remember how busy I
was when I was a freshman just
getting started."
Students may submit nomina
tions in the SGA office in the
Student Center.
Five other positions are open
for students who wish to become
involved in the student court
system.
"We need a freshman justice, a
freshman alternate justice, and
three alternate justices who
must be sophomores, juniors, or
seniors,” said Rhoades.
UNCA is growing rapidly, and
students had a chance to voice
their ideas on hov: it should
grow last Thursday.
But only four students, three
of whom are associated with stu
dent government, met with repre
sentatives frcm Enwright Associ
ates, Inc., the Greenville,
S.C., architectural firm study
ing expansion of UNCA facili
ties.
"What we're really looking for
is input—your thoughts," Pro-
ject Manager Richard Pace said
to the students.
"We come with no preconceived
ideas."
UNCA's growth rate topped the
issues discussed as Doug Grif-
. chief justice of the stu
dent court, said he believes
UNCA s population is increasing
more rapidly than its physical
facilities are expanding.
He cited overcrowded computer
terminals and doubled village
dorm rooms as examples of inade
quate expansion.
However, noting that the uni
versity has plans to construct a
new 300-bed residence hall,
Griffin said UNCA should grow
"with expectations, not after
crowding occurs."
Packed campus parking lots
were another concern students
discussed.
