Retirement center could help improve Elon by Doug Norwood The will of a late Burling ton multi-millionaire has made the Twin Lakes Retire ment Center possible, and Elon College will be an indirect benefactor. Wade G. Coble, a pro minent Burlington business man and member of the ^ LAKES CENTCR MAMIUNJIINO Artist’s rendering of Twia Lakes’ mala boiMing. Macedonia Lutheran Church who died last year willed approximately S4 million to the church. “The memorial fund shall be used for the purpose of constructing a rest home in Alamance County,” the will instructed. Coble’s was the largest be quest ever made to a Luthe ran church in the United States. The retirement community will be built on about 70 acres of land at the corner of U.S. Highway 70 and Gibsonville Road, only min utes from the Elon College campus and could have pro found, positive effects on the school. Rev. Richard B. Graf, senior pastor at Macedonia, said the center “would like to keep a good close rela tionship” with Elon. The close proximity and hoped-for relations between the two institutions should prove mutually beneficial. The center will provide abundant and nearby job opportunities for students. Graf said, “We will need to fill positions from the food service up.” He said there will be more staff members than residents. That will include main tenance, staffs for the li brary, beauty shop and work shops, help with the recre ational facilities -- the center Pendulum will have a fishing lake, a three-hole Par-3 golf course, a gardening area and various other recreational areas and help in caring for residents. The latter could prove to be quite a boon for Elon. Working in cooperation with the school, “We could build one of the finest, if not the only geriatrics departments among small colleges,” Graf said. Graf anticipates residents will be vigorous and func tional. He said that many of the residents might take ad vantage of the Continuing Education Program at Elon. Regularly-scheduled trans- cont. on p. 8 Only 22 days antil Spring Break Volume Vin Number 17 Elon College, Elon College, N.C. 27244 Thursday, February 25, 1982 Visitation revision awaits trustees’ approval By Dong Norwood The Student Senate unani mously passed two resolu tions last Thursday, includ ing one concerning what one senator called “the most important issue on campus.” The resolution was an endorsement of an SGA proposal that would revise visitation policies on the Elon campus. Currently, visitation is permitted from 6 p.m. to midnight on Fridays, 2 p.m. to midnight on Saturdays, and 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays. There is no visita tion allowed on Mondays through Thursdays. The revised policy, if ap proved by the Campus Life Conmiittee of the Elon Col lege Board of Trustees, would allow for extended visitation. On Fridays and Saturdays, the new hours would be from 2 p.m. until 1 a.m. On Sundays, the new hours would be 2 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The proposal also calls for visitation from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Mondays through Thiirsdays. The 25 and one half hour increase would more than double current visitation time. The resolution states that it will stay in effect only as long as “students recognize that visitation on a regular basis during the week (Mon day through Thursday) is intended to provide an op portunity for working and learning together in a more comfortable atmosphere and realize that the abuse of this privilege by interfering with the academic pursuits of fellow students may at the discretion of the Dean of Student Affairs, resuh in the forfeiture of such privileges by the entire area.” Presi dent Dan Daly, who will present the resolution to the Campus Life Commitee, says he favors the regularity in visitation because it would deter students from “going Daly, Hackney react to proposal by Lonkia Louka The Student Government Association has proposed a revision of the campus visit ation policy that would in crease weekend visitation seven and one-half hours and increase weekday visita tion by 18 hours. The requested change was officially introduced by Dan Daly, SGA president, on Wednesday, Feb. 17, to the Student Life Committee. Commenting on the new proposal, Daly said, “It is the SGA’s wish that students be aware that this issue is to be considered by the Board of Trustees and that the board knows of the students’ awareness of the proposal. cont. on p. 8 wild” more than once-a- week during visitation. The bill must now go to the Campus Life Committee for approval. Upon such approval, that committee will determine when the re vised pohcy will become effective. The senate also resolved to request faculty members to allow student access to the results of the currently used student evaluations of teachers and courses. The resolution that says access to these evaluations would help students in selec ting classes and teachers. It states that “students are trusted to make worth while input into the student evaluation system can also be trusted to responsibly receive output from it.” Each faculty member will be allowed to decide whether or not he or she wants to give permission for students to see a mean (average) of the students’ ratings of the course and tracher from last semester. The ratings are from 1 to S in ascending order of quality. It will allow “limited ac cess,” which means the eval uations will “be kept on file at the SGA office and the college library.” The resolution has the majority support of the Fac ulty and Course Guide Com mittee.
