University students propose (Continued from Page 1) if one person is working in an office, he , or she must light: 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 titioned, and students complain that intense levels of noise and light make work difficult. They also object to a lack of dividing walls between work areas. ] * In a structure intended to! hold 1200 students, virtually no accommodation has been made for people outside calssrooms. The only lounge area is a tiny 1 o u n g e with concession ma- chines. The only library holds! a maximum of 30 people. ' ARCHITECTURE School Dean Robert Metcalf in-' sists the new building is a boon and not a boondoggle.

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. for taking SGC's duties upon themselves. Minorit ies i Pi drop, here (Continued from Page 1) 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. In other action, Council re- versed a decision of the SOB to evict the Black Prelawyers from the group's office space in the Union.; 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."
