I- f I , I ; T if- »'' « ! ft > Clewell to Receive Facelift by Robin Wilson The Salemite Clewell dorm soon will receive a facelift from the inside-out. The underclass dorm will close after Governor's School this summer and will remayi^losed for renovations throughout the academic year. "1 see this as a positive move," said Jim Wall. "Most other schools close and renovate their buildings every few years, so Salem is not alone." Wall, the director of maintence and grounds, said he was optimistic about the project. "Since the building will be closed, maintenance will be able to do their work more quickly and effi ciently," he said. According to Wall, the low enroll ment for next year's freshman class and a small sophomore class will en able Salem to close the dorm and still have enough room to house, students. Next year is the best hme for the project in that the space is not needed, and by closing down the dorm Salem will save money on water and electricity. There is one exception to the com plete closing of Clewell. Until the completion of the Student Commons, the basement of Clewell has been con verted into the student center. The interim student center will include student post office boxes and the widen Salem Friends of the Library Cele-i brate Southern Women Writers at Annual Conference screen television.
