I phasized the attainment of na
j tional accreditation by four o
the school's departments.
I The Commissioners, chairei
by State Sen. Thomas White

j Building is needed to housi
mathematics, physics and physi

courses are crammed into othe
buildings.
A similar situation exists, hi

for a building to house thosi
programs. In addition, he saic
the building would provide bad
