New building a boondoggle? University students propose

most of a floor to work.
" The massive 90x360 - foot
"design room," praised by ad-I
ministrators as "one of the larg-
est single teaching spaces on
campus," 'has drawn the most:
criticism. The room is unpar-E

that intense levels of noise and
light make work difficult. They
also object to a lack of dividing

walls between work areas. ]

SGC condemns 'U'

By TIM SCHICK
Student Government Council
last night voted to refuse to
seat students on a committee
which council members claim
was formed illegally.
By a 16Y-2 1/4 vote, SGC re-
fused to appoint any students to
the Facilities Appeals Board
and condemned the administra-
tion and the Board of Regents.

Erickson said there has'been
"no dramatic increase" in
minority recruiting efforts since
1971.
GOODMAN admitted his pro-
gram's recruitment efforts
"peaked in 1971" after the BAM
strike. But he said the pro-
gram is now shifting its priori-
ties to concentrate on retaining
currently-enrolled students, in-
stead of recruiting.

THE NEW board, instituted1
after the Regents objected to+
showings of X-rated movies on ]
campus, will take over some of
the authority formerly held by
the Student Organizations Board1
(SOB), a committee of SGC.
Council critics of the power
shift slammed the University
for forming the board without
consulting students. "It is sad'
that the administration wasa
blind to student input for so
long," stated Council member
Calvin Luker.
Meanwhile, the proposed:
$53,000 SGC budget for the com-
ing fiscal year was discussed
at length, with sharp criticism,
voiced by members of the Cam-'
pus Coalition (CC) party over
several appropriations. CC re-,
commended that $3,000 ear-,
marked for advertising and
public relations be reduced to
$2,000 with the remainder going
to community and academic
programs.
THE TREASURER will report
back with a revised budget next
week.

versed a decision of the SOB

ly well in terms of what it
was designed to do," says Met-
calf. Its advantages, he con-
tends, include flexibility of pur-
pose and low expense.
Metcalf maintains the com-
plaints are unwarranted. The
windows, he says, are immove-
able to save on security costs.
He describes the design room
as advantageous "for flexibility
of space, which is an attribute."
HE CLAIMS students have
sufficient personal space in the
big room and therefore don't
need a lounge. The noise level,
resulting from the hum of the
ventilation system, is an inten-
tional "acoustical perfume," ac-
cording to Metcalf. Its function,
he says, is to mask unwanted:
noise.
The dean blames the lack of
library space on the state,
which he says failed to pro-'
vide the, needed funds.
But teachers and students are
unconvinced of the building's
advantages. Prof. Feldt com-
plains of "dinky= offices"; an-
other professor who asked not
to be named compared the ex-
tremely narrow corridors to
"walking in Jackson Prison."
"THIS building is like a rup-
tured duck on ice skates," de-
clares teaching assistant Sam.
Vasich.
"The spaces in this building
don't interact, so the students
don't either," said an archi-
tecture student who asked- not
to be named. "The only place
to be together is the lounge,,
and that's difficult."
The architect-Robert Swan-
son of Swanson Associates, the
firm that built. several North
Campus structures-could not
be reached for comment on the
Arts and Architecture Building's
problems.

Regent Dean Baker (R-Ann
