Variety of classes to be
in Fine Arts Center
By Carrie Town
Arts Editor
The Fine Arts building will be filled
with students and faculty next fall, but
it is beginning to look as though not all
of the classes to be held there will be
fine arts in nature according to Vice
President for Adminstrative Services
Robert Poindexter
“The Fine Arts Center is a building
that will be around into the 21st Century.
The program at Elon will grow with the
building. We’re not building a building
for the program of today, but for the fine
arts program of the future,” said
Poindexter
Not everybody agrees with this ad
ministrative plan.“I think that it is a
good idea that the school planned for the
future, but it seems wrong to build a
center for the fine arts and then not hire
a full time drama teacher,” said Lisa
Elliott.“There should be an emphasis on
building up the program now. That’s
what makes a fine arts center — fine
arts.”
The center has many rooms including
a recital hall, a rehearsal hall and a 600
person auditorium. A possible change
in the fine arts ceijt5r may include mov
ing the television production facilities to
the building. Sophomore communica
tions major Sylvia Williams said that
she was excited about the new location
for the TV department.
“I believe that television does have a
place in the fine arts building. To me it
is a type of art,” Williams said. “I think
that in two years, Elon will have one of
the finest production rooms in the state
of North Carolina.”
There art a lot of departments fighting
for the space, but Poindexter did not
know at this time which departments
would win the battle.The Arts Center,
however, should boost ELon’s image
and bring in the needed dollars accor
ding to Poindexter.
“I think that the Fines Arts Center
will draw more'students and focus to the
school,” said Williams. “The communi
ty will be more involved and bring in
doantions to the college.”
Junior music education major Sharon
Guilliams has noticed a rise in the
number of music majors already since
the Fine Arts Center first became a
reality. “My music education class had
four students in it when I camw to
school. Now there are hordes of music
students,” Guilliams. “The center will
bring in more majors.”
The Fine Arts Center is due for com
pletion sometime during the summer
allowing for classes to be held there in
the fell of 1987. “The building has evolv
ed into a much bigger operation than the
college first thought.” Poindexter said.
“The biggest part not completed is the
outdoors landscaping.”
The facility when completed is ex
pected to cost the college $8 million
dollars. “The building has never gone
over budget. We just raise the budget as
we go along,” Poindexter said. “As we
receive money, different additions are
approved and the budget raised.”
There has been some concern over the
budget and the construction schedules.
“I don’t understand how the Fine Arts
Center could be under its budget if
Channel 12 News’ even did a story on
the slowing down of construction on the
building," said Senior Craig Smith.“The
news shoe said that the workerss were
spending too much time watching the
college girls sunbathe by the lake. I
think that the school should spend
money on housing instead of on a
building that seems like it will never get
done.”
