The project is part of an overall 5-year plan instituted by USC President James B. Holderman to UDffrade those arean of th? Stiwforft Services Program most in need, Robert E. Alexander, dean of students, said. Alexander said that after the request was initiated by Jon Clemmensen, student media general manager, and himself via Vice President of Student Affairs James B. Campbell, it was presented to a special committee appointed by Holderman as Dart of an overall needs assessment for the division of student affairs. HAVING PLACED it at the top of a priority list himself, Alexander said the committee was in agreement, and Holderman made a commitment for funding in late on?4nfi aI ikia vfaaw* pi uig Wi UU0 JWU . iwugll Ul CUlO were drawn by Clemmensen and Thomas C.

"There are still a number of relatively small items to be done," Bran ton said. "We will put phone booths on the lower level, and an airlock at the entrance to the Campus Book Store to save energy. We will increase air conditioning in the projection room also." THIRD FLOOR COSTS of an extensive renovation involving the entire west wing are expected to reach $80,000, according to Ed Bass, director of campus planning. "Walls are to be removed and knocked down into new configurations to relocate existing occupants and make better utilization of available space," Bass said.
