November 5,1998 News from SGA, page 1 However his goals reach be yond the needs of his majors. “Among other things, I would like to see computer labs open later and more often,” Burlew said. "Dennis is a very dedicated person,” Richter said. “He’s volun teered in several capacities around campus. He’ll make a great addi tion.” Suber plans to work with so cial sciences professors to help make the department a stronger voice on campus. He wants to promote social science clubs, such as Model United Nations and North Carolina Student Legislature, and possibly get more funding for the department. “I want to make a difference on campus and SGA is one of the best places to start,” Suber said. “Travis is quite a go-getter and one you’ll want to look for in the 2001 elections,” Richter said. Burlew and Suber’s appoint ments also passed unanimously. “We’re real excited to have new blood in the Senate,” Richter said. Library construction on schedule Bree Myers The Pendulum Each day, students walk by the big metal monster that will soon become their new library. With the steel beam fa9ade, it looks as if the building’s completion is slow in becoming reality .The reality is, the new library is right on schedule. The celebration of the library’s groundbreaking accompa nied by College Coffee occurred on March 11,1998. Actual construc tion of the building began on March 16 at 8:00 a.m. Construction has continued through this past summer to the present with completion of the frame, the structure of the three floors and the building’s base. By the end of November, the roof and walls will be up to show the struc ture looking like an enclosed box in early December, says Neil Bromilow, Director of Construc tion Management, The building’s construction may look like fits and starts. This is because exterior work is sometimes lulled to complete interior work. Trade contractors are hired for tasks such as electrical wiring and plumb ing that must be done on off-hours. Construction progress has a sched ule for these purposes. “Every day is worth a week later in the project now,” says Bromilow. Construction of a new library resulted as a part of the Elon Vision. This needs assessment project be gan in 1994. The Science Building is a result of the project as well. The size and capacity of the library will allow for one location where students and faculty may find many services. The Writing Center, Honors Program, LaRose Resources Center and Academic Computing will be moving to the new library. The library’s completion is on schedule for June. July will be used for moving in books and equip ment for use in August with the 1999-2000 school year. from HEALTH, page 1 cal injuries would have a tough time getting to the building. The SGA passed a resolu tion that Health Services should stay on campus. The resolution only serves to tell the administra tion how the students feel. It’s significance will be weighed by the administration in it’s final de cision on the new location of Health Services. SGA President Mark Richter doesn’t want to keep the old Health Services building but thinks the department “should be centrally located.” Student opinions vary. One student felt that this is just another move by Elon to enlarge the cam pus. Another student said “most of the students I know go to urgent care on Church Street, anyway, so I don’t think it will have to much effect.” When Ellington arrived at Elon 13 years ago Health services was located in the Long Building with only one nurse and a physician that was contracted for an hour a day. Health services now employs a re ceptionist, a secretary, three student workers, two full time nurses, up to five part-time nurses, and up to four full time doctors. They have tried to cut waiting time by staying open through lunch. On average Health Services sees 15,000 visits a year. They are not one of the most profitable Elon departments, but they have been do ing better since they have started charging students for medication. Elon’s Health Services has a good relationship with physicians in the area, so if a student needs extra or specific care it can be obtained. from HOMECOMING, page 1 day many activities will take place, starting with the parade will beat 10 a.m., tailgating from 12:30 until 2 p.m., the football game at 2 p.m., a comedian will perform at 8 p.m. and the RSA Homecoming Dance is at 10:30 p.m. Syracuse student wins NY lotto Ryan Donohue The Daily Orange He waited, nervously smok ing cigarettes, in a stock room he was familiar with in the back of a convenience store. A few minutes later, Chris Wildrick stepped out of the shad ows of that room, walked proudly past an aisle of snacks and sodas, and accepted his first $1,000 check from the New York Lottery. The Syracuse University sophomore and former employee of the Convenient Food Mart will collect a check for the same amount every week for the rest of his life. The checks will not be as large as the 4-foot-long cardboard one he accepted Friday, nor will the excitement probably be as great as that day either. But for the modestly dressed music appreciation major, the ques tion will be the same week after week; what will he do with the money? Let me get my bachelor’s degree first,” Wildrick said when asked about possible plans for a big vacation. This is Wildrick’s first semes ter at the university. GOING HOME FOR THANKSGIVING?
