As part of a program of sweeping
changes Residential Life Services has
become the University Housing
Services.
The revamped UHS has reorganized
clUIIUIMMI till vc I CapUIIMUllUIC!! <*UU
assigned new employee titles for the
first time in a decade.
Linda Saad, promoted to director of
UHS from director of women's housing,
is responsible for changing staff
positions.
"The housing department really
hasn't been reorganized since we had a
dean of men and women, as far as 1
know," said Jim Smart, director for
administration of UHS.
"We've finally gotten to the point of
reorganization. The same positions
have new responsibilities and new
titles. Mine's one of them."
Smart was formerly the assistant
director for Resident Student
Development.
Before the. changes were made, the
campus was divided into five areas
split between men's and women's
housing.
Smart said all room assignments and
area operations will now be handled
under one department head.
"Linda Saad is trying to create a
system which is more effective in pro
viding the students' needs," Smart
said.
Smart's position as director for administration
includes consolidating the
responsibilities that were split between
men's and women's housing departments
in the past.
"1 will be the contact person for all
students and student groups. I'll handle
leases, room changes, etc.," Smart
said.
David Macaulay, formerly the director
of men's housing, has become the
director for area operations.
In that position, he will be responsible
for area management, custodians
and in-house maintenance personnel.
The responsibilities of the directors
of business operations, and family and
summer housing have stayed the same.

University Housing Services,formally Residential Lite Set
vices, initiated the new $9 million dormitory renovation fund
Monday night by presenting an extensive list of work scheduled
for USC dormitories to the Residem Hall Association.
Bates House, the Towers and Patterson will get new hallway
carpet; Columbia Hall interior may get a new paint job; the
buildings on the womens' quad may get an exterior paint job,
and Bates West may get new elevator buttons.
The list of renovations is still pending approval before any

Saad, director of housing.

Saad presented the extensive renovation list to the RHA
members, and directed them to return to the next meeting with
input from their respective dorm residents.
"The list is only tenative, and the cost is only a
'guesstimate,'" Saad said.
According to the renovation list, about S 106,000 has
already been allocated to pay for repairs made during the fall
and both the summer semesters, such as renovations to connect
Baker, Burney and Snowden to central utlities; new
stoves and refrigerators for Carolina Gardens; Bates House
stairwell paint jobs, and $10,500 of "preventive
maintenance."
RENOVATIONS LISTED as "in the planning stage" include
repainting the interior of Columbia Hall; replacing the
Carolina gardens refrigerators; upgrading the bathrooms and
kitchens in Nada Apartments; replacing the South Towers
light fixture; and the repainting, recarpeting and repairing of
the roofs of almost all dorms.
The renovations are projected through the 1993-94
academic year.
Also at the meeting, the kha members were encouraged to
>upport the student Summit Fund drive by getting dormitories
involved in fund-raising activities.
The student Summit Fund is well on its way to a $100,(XX)
January goal, according to student Summit Fund chairman
Bill Kotti. He said he would like to sec that goal passed,
possibly to $175,000.
"UNOFFICIALLY. I would like to see us raise at least
550,000. After we solicit buisnesses, we should raise about
530,000," he said, adding that 520.000 more could be raised
M IIULIII V.IIVM n
Saga food corporation announced Friday it would donate
S100,000 to the fund to match the student fund drive goal.
Also, a fall benefit concert is expected to bring in $20,000 to
$25,000. Although a contract has not been signed, Kotti said
Jimmy BulTett will perform at an October concert.
