by Scott Kearns
"Construction continues to be
one of the most ulcer creating
problems facing this University,"
said Harold Brunton, vice
president for business affairs.
Brunton's remark was in
reference to a steel pipe shortage
which caused a five month delay to
the underground utilities project
for Gibbes Green. The utilities
project is to supply electricity and
air conditioning to buildings on the
Horseshoe.
Shortages of building materials
have been a problem for many of
the University construction
projects and according to Brunton,
the problem is a matter of chance.
"All we can do is cross our fingers
and hope' for the best. Right now,
we're trying to fill the holes
created by our existing con
struction," he added.
According to Brunton, many of

the "holes" will be filled within the
next year. "A lot of what we are
doing is just finishing what has
been in the construction stages for
the past four or five years." We
sincerely hope that our major
construction projects will be
completed by the fall. After that
we will go into a slow-down stage
as far as construction is con
cerned," he said.
One construction project to be
completed by mid-August is the
multimillion dollar Nursing school.
When completed, it will provide
facilities for the Nursing School
Audiology, Speech Pathology and
Health Sciences.
Also scheduled for completion in
the fall are Bates West, an apart
ment style co-educational dor
mitory for upper class students
and Cliff Apartments, an apart

"The new library is a massiv
addition to the campus which wi
centralize the existing libraries i
one building," Brunton said.
One project which is not unde
construction is the controversiz
Gibbes Green. Construction on th
Green is pending the recom
mendation of the Facilities an

(FGAC). The committee chaire
by Dr. Richard A. Rempel wi
make its recommendation for thi
"green" sometime next week.
"We are waiting for the recom
mendation before - we di
anything," Brunton said.

are being made for an addition t<
the Russell House. The plans in
clude a large multi-purpose bal:
room, additional office space anc
an enlarged Campus Book Store.
The addition -is to regroup the
existing services in the Russell
House.
Commenting on the present
condition of Russell House
Brunton said, "It's like any other
place with additions. It's gotten to
be mish--mash. The new addition
will make it more functional."
Another project under design is a
parking garage to be located on the
north side of Pendleton Street
between Bull and Pickens Streets.

Mungo: No, I am saying that the t
president creates political enemies ;
because the University is a <
political entity. It is run by the f
General Assembly through ap- r
propriations. Well, it really isn't a
run by the General Assembly, but c
since we are a creature of political
life, in that we are owned by the tl
state and the people, it obviously is v
subject to political influence and v
political pressure. I am saying v
