Upon entering the halls of Joyner, most students did a double take. The walls had been repainted, of fices had been enlarged, and the chalk boards had been updated. Students and faculty alike enjoyed the changes. Nikki Gamer, junior, said, “I really likethenewrenovationsbecausejoyner no longer feels like A dungeon. Before it was boring and drab, but now the halls and classrooms are much brighter. ” The faculty enjoyed the renovations as well. Dr. Eloise Grathwohl, a member of the English department, has often been heard saying, “I love the new boards because 1 can parse Old English verbs in all different colors so my stu dents will not be so confused." Not only is Joyner newly renovated, but the Ledford building was recently built, and Harris is also relatively new. So what happened to Hunter? Why hasn’t our science building, a building that should represent today’s leading technology, been renovated? Vice President of Business and Vinance Chuck Taylor was able to an swer these questions. He said plans for Hunter are being discussed, but there are several prob photo by Jan Seate and Laura Ross Hunter's need for renovation is evidenced by the poor condition of its lab equipment. lems standing in the way. At the moment, Taylor said Hunter is home to the science and the home economics department. The problem is that the science department needs the labs upgraded, and the home eco nomics department needs a lot more room, he said. He said Meredith's administration cannot decide whether to build a new building, or move one of the depart ments to another location that is not being used. He said the the only option right now is the basement of Ledford. A decision must be made whether to renovate the building for the sci ence department and move the home economics department to a new location, or to build a new building for the science depart ment and reno vated Hunter for home econom ics, he said. Taylor said money is another problem. When Joyner was renovated, he said,the money came from a renewal and re placement reserve that is dry right now. Taylor said a capital campaign, like the one with Governor James B. Hunt, needs to be conducted, or a specific project to raise money will need to be started to restore the reserve. And Taylor stressed that the col lege is hard at woik trying to solve the problem. “We just have to figure out which choice will make it better for the stu dents and faculty,” he said.
