This action was taken at the board’s monthly meeting Oct. 22. According to President Fred Young, “They (the board) authorized construc tion of a new dorm and elected to accept the money allocated.” He added, “There was no hesitation or controversy about it. It was a unanimous voice vote.” The 36 members of the board decided it was the “best thing” to do. The chief factor favoring construction was relief from Dr. Sally Aim O’Neill, J.D., will speak tonight at the annual Pi Gamma Mu program on “Access to Criminal Trials, Press and Public vs. Defendant.” The lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m. in second floor Mc Ewen Dining Hall. A re ception will follow the lec- overcrowded dormitories ac cording to President Young. Preliminary land-planners were on campus Monday to decide the site for the new dorm. At present, the pri mary site under construction is one near Harper Center. This dorm will help to relieve the inadequate hou sing for fraternities and sor orities and also for those students who need campus housing. Although the num ber of students at the Best Western is decreasing daily, inconvenience is a major problem for these students. About 300 students will be housed in the new dorm, and the payback time for the $2.8 million is 40 years at three percent interest. ture. Students and the public are encouraged to attend. All journalism students have been asked to hear the lecture.

The incumbent Jinuny Carter, the Democratic nominee; Ronald Reagan, the Repu blican nominee; and this year a third party candidate, John Anderson. How these candidates stand on the issues should help determine who sits in the White House for the next four years. The primary issue for all thfee candidates is the eco nomy. Carter says the eco nomy is his highest domestic issue. He supports voluntary wage and price controls, and backs a 1981 tax cut totaling $727.6 biUion. Reagan says there should be an across-the-board fede ral tax cut of 10 percent in 1981. He also favors the Kemp-Roth tax cut plan, which calls for two more 10 percent cuts in succeeding years. Anderson seeks to curb inflation but opposes a gene ral tax cut for right now. The second major issue deals with defense. Reagan seeks sharp increased mili tary spending, development of the B-1 bomber, neutron bomb, MX missile, increased pay and benefits for the military and opposition of the draft. Anderson also opposed the draft but supports a three percent increase in defense spending.

He also supports the registration of both men and women aged 19 to 20 for possible military service. In the area of foreign policy, Anderson supports the SALT II treaty and grain embargo against Russia. Carter negotiated and signed the SALT II treaty and strongly urged Senate ratification. He has called the Soviet invasion of Af ghanistan ‘the greatest threat to world peace since the Second World War,’ and responded with various ac tions including the partial grain embargo and the boy cott of the Moscow Olym pics. Reagan plans to withdraw the SALT II treaty, if he is elected President. He plans to build up the United States military strength. In the Afghanistan matter, Reagan opposes the grain embargo and suggests a full trade ban against Russia. In other key issues, Rea gan backs a constitutional cont. on p. 4
