The estimated cost of the library will be in the area of $7.5 and - $8 million for construction and equipment. The proposed dale for construction to begin is between January and June 1983 during the time the state legislature meeting, or as late as the spring of 1984. The new library will have approxi mately 100,000 sq. ft. of floor space and will seat 1000 persons. Eighty percent of the seating arrangement will be designed for individual study, with variation for group study sessions and seminars in enclosed areas. As for books, periodicals and reference matwials, they will increase to over 350,000 volumes, all of which will be accessed in open circulation. Although many additions are forthcoming, there will be no change in policies regarding time allowed for books out of the library and fees charged for overdose books; hovevci, security of the materials will be enhanced. The library’s design will pay special attention to the acoustics of the building, with low ceilings averaging ten feet in height, wall to wall carpet, and treated walls. The interior will incorporate an elaborate, soft and inviting color scheme. The new facility will be located between the Continuing Education Center and the Butler Building. There will be two firms working on the building. One firm will be responsible for the mechanical drawing and coordinating the construction and the other firm will be responsible for planning and designs.

The delay was initially caused when the Department of Education was four months tardy in submitting to Congress its proposed eligibility standards for Pell Grants. he process then bogged down further when the eligibility standards finally made their way to Capitol Hill for approval. Education committees in both the House and Senate re-drafted the legislation, making provisions for inflationary compenstion and advocating the carry-over of this year's eligibility rules to 1983-84. The compromise bill was passed by both houses and is now awaiting White House approval. Other provisions of the bill include lightening up eligibility criteria for the Guaranteed Student Loans next year and overturning a law passed last year lhat made it difficult for veterans to receive both Pell Grants and GI Bill benefits. Under the new bill, $30 million of the 1983-84 Pell Grant budget would be used to restore grant monies to veterans who lost such aid in 1982-83. The new bill would also require the National Center for Education Statistics to continue the general survey of college tuition which the Department ' of Education iiad earmarked for elimination, and would extend a law protecting private investors in the Student Loan Marketing Association from suffering undue bankruptcy losses. Because of the delay in establishing these eligibility guidelines, the private companies which process the applications for federal aid have been unable to begin printing their forms. The forms, which normally reach students sometime in November, are not now expected to make an appearance until sometime after January. Left to ri(ht are Mr. W. Hall, Norman Johmon, and Johnny Buma(winner of Turkey Giveaway) Photo by Emanuel Vau(hn. Wilson and Tanya Watson. The FSC, and former SGA president. The FSC takes criticism from fellow students in order to better the dining hall. Thanks to Mr. William Hall, Director of the H.L. Cook Dining Hall, and the FSC, the turkey raffle was a large success. Assistant Chairman William Elliott says, “1 think the committee plays a very important part on campus. As far student and administration relation ship. The committee serves as a middle man.” Mr. Elliott also stated that students should voice their ideas. By doing this, it will help better the dining hall. If enough ideas are heard maybe a change can be made in the dining hall. “Maybe a wider selection of food in the future.”
