Todd said his immediate ob jective is to put the old second floor lobby and theatre back into use by fall. But, he said, there is little hope for a TV lounge by then. The old TV lounge which was converted into the campus post office boxes will stay as it is, so there will not be a TV lounge until-the expansion is finished. "You r guess is as good as mine as to when the entire expansion will be complete. We're hoping for April 15 or the end of April, but certainly by summer school next year," Todd said. When completed, the Russell House will be divided into four floors. "We're hoping to put the noise on the bottom floors. The top floor will hopefully be a quiet area consisting of six meeting rooms and a large browsing study lounge," Todd said. The main floor w1 crisist of the information desk, reservation desk, small administrative offices, main lobby, two conversational lounges, TV lounge, two meeting rooms and a multi-purpose ballroom. The lower level will be the campus shop ani the basement level will be a media center. "The biggest problem with the construction is coming into the building.

Of those being built, the physical education addition will be completed by second summer session. The Cooper Library will also be finished this summer, but it will not open until Spring session aftei all the books can be moved. The Pendleton Garage will partially open in mid fall. Longstreet Theatre will be completed next summer. The Biology building will be finished in the next academic year and Gabriel Hall, the social science center, will be completed by the end of '76. "The only other building in planning is an auditorium which is in final designing stages. It will be located between the Business Administration building and Pickens Street. Construction of it will begin January 1976. It should take two or two and a half years to build. Other than it, there are no future plans for building con struction. We are finished building. dorms," Brunton said. "Renovation is another matter all together, it is slow and tedious and there is a lot of it to be done," he said. It includes such areas as the Horseshoe, Wardlaw education building, the engineering depart ment and Booker T. Washington. But, he said, no definite dates have been established for their com pletion.
