Reynolds Business Building has been completed and will be open to WSSU students for the 1984-85 fall semester. The Business Department plans to move into the building by the end of this semester. Originally plans were made to move in over spring and Easter break. However, things are on hold because they are awaiting the arrival of furniture which is a week behind schedule. Behind the building will be a 55 capacity car-lot and the closed road in the rear will be reopened for use. Yet, the completion of this project depends on the weather. The academic computer center will be moving into the basement of the building. The basement will provide the students that use the center with much needed space. The Business building consists of one lecture room that seats 209, 14 classrooms that come in all different sizes, four seminar rooms, three labs, about 30 facul ty offices and 4 student lounges. “Including the old nursing building,” said Robert Fenning, director of institu tional research, “It will provide WSSU with a 27% increase in classrooms.” In the last few years there has been a lot of controversy over the demolition of Old Atkins Hall. Old Atkins Hall built in 1915, the demoli tion of Old Atkins was first proposed in 1972. The basis for this decision was deterioration of the building. Presently it is scheduled to be torn down the Monday after Spring Graduation. Bids for demoli tion will begin the first week of April. Fenning stated that the cost of renovating the building is estimated at a million dollars, this would cause a $100 in crease in tuition, so the university has no choice but to demolish it. WSSU is planning many new things for the future, such as the renovation of Old Anderson High School and Camp Robert Vahn. . Anderson High School is going to be renovated and in use for Division of Education and Graduate Center in 1985. The gym and the auditorium will be used for many social functions. Camp Robert Vaughn is a camp in Walnut Cove, it is ready to be used. It can be used by many courses such as special education. Natural science and physical education. It also will be for special events and as a sports camp. Fenning said that there are plans to renovate Carolina Hall, the Co-op building and the Student Union. He also said that WSSU will change to a complete computing system in the near future.

Writing Center Encourages Student Development By Lelia Dolby For some time now students have not taken full advantage of the Writing Center because they are unaware of the services it offers, Mrs, Ollie McCowell, director of the Writing Center, wants to change the center from its stereotypical remedial image to one that assists students with all types of writing. The Writing Center offers English tutorial services Monday through Friday in Room 223 of the Communication Arts Building, Students in English 1300 are re quired to attend the Writing Center fifteen hours per semester or one hour per week. The focus for English 1300 students is to improve grammar and punctuation usage. The next semester, in English 1301, students learn to write term papers, Connell Sims, a second semester freshman said he has learned the correct way to construct sentences and paragraphs. “More students should attend the Writing Center,” he said, “and refresh the basics.” Three tutors work with students and aid them in the library. Ms. Audrey Forrest, an English teacher and tutor, said more students should take advantage of the Writing Center, Carolyn Baker, an English major and tutor in the Writing Center, said many students do not understand the importance of writing. “Basically, students cannot compose words well. They should come to the Writing Center at the beginning of the semester. Instead, students wait until it is time for midterms. Then, the Writing Center has to attempt to accommodate numerous students. And, although most of the students are accommodated, those who cannot be helped, become indignant,” she said. “Students should come in as ear ly as possible,” so that a one to one rela tionship between the student and tutor can be formed, Ms. Baker said. From January 23rd to February 14th, only twenty students had attended the Writing Center. Associated with the Writing Center is the Special Services/Living and Learning Center in Brown Hall. Tutoring services are available Monday through Friday and begin at 6:00 p.m. Ollie McDowell, Direc tor of the Writing Center, said “professional tutors who are public school teachers come in to tutor students in English, reading and math, and they share materials with the Writing Center.
