Renovation oi the old Com
merce-Journalism Building,
underway for nine months, is
ahead of schedule in the Col
lege of Business Administra
tion s plans to enter the facility
next fall quarter
Dave Clements, assistant
director of campus planning
and development, said con
struction and renovation were
21 per cent complete as of Sept
1, putting construction workers
10 per cent ahead ol the original
plans
Clements was cautiously op
timistic that the planned com
pletion date could be met.
Juvenile crime
workshop held
at University
Juvenile delinquents can be
helped most if the state puts a
fair amount of time into train
ing the agents who work with
them, says sociologist Paul G.
Zarbock
This was the theory behind
the Juvenile Services Area
Workshop, headed by Zarbock
The clinic, which wrapped up
yesterday at the Georgia Cen
ter for Continuing Education,
attracted about 23 Georgia pro
bation officers invited by the
University's Institute of Gov
ernment and the Georgia Juve
nile Services Association
Zarbock. associate professor
of social work at the University
of Tennessee in Knoxville, led
participants in a training pro
gram designed to help them
develop a more creative ap
proach to juvenile problems
The workshop was the first
of a twoprogram series direct
ed towarxl the development of
ranking supervisory personnel
in institutional and community-
based programs for juvenile
offenders
We originally set Sept 21.
1970 as the official completion
date." he said, "but there are
so many variables that the date
is always subject to change
Barring the unforseen. we
should finish ahead of schedule,
but that'squite unusual
Final word on completion of
the project rests with the con
tractor, S.J. Curry Construc
tion Co . Clements pointed out
Bids were opened Nov. 25,
1969 for work on the north cam
pus building, and work began in
December Fences have barri
caded the entire area ever
since as work has continued to
satisfy the needs of the busi
ness school
' THE EXISTING AREA of
the building is 52.840 square
feet. Clements said, "and new
space added from the rear and
two wings will amount to an
additional 34,560 square feet ."
Despite the additions, the
building will not be able to
house the entire college of busi
ness, according to Col. Arden
Dow. administrative assistant
to the business manager of the
college.
"We expect about 90 per cent
of the school to be located in
that building," he said, “but
one or two small departments
will have to stay out
The College of Business is
now using Meiggs Hall, which
is temporarily the home of
three departments, and Dow
anticipated that some business
departments will remain in
that building
"THE NEW building will
have very modern class
rooms,” Dow said, “and they
will be equipped with the most
modern and complete of in
structional aids.”
Clements hastened to add
that the old murals adorning
the walls of the old building will
be preserved.
“Some people decided that
they were a work of art," he
said, "so they will stay up "

Renovation to be complete by next fall
The University computer
center can claim world superi
ority in retreiving scientific
information from computer
storage, according to Dr
Charles Douglas, assistant to
the vice president for research
No other system for informa
tion retrieval in the world of
fers such easy access to such a
broad range of scientific infor
mation. he explained
DOUGLAS SAID the Univer
sity excels primrilv in its store
of scientific literature, pub
lished worldwide monthly in
vast quantities
The University scientists can
readily find taped abstracts of
technical articles, in some cas
es before they are published.
Douglas said
Magazines in the last few
years have progressed to a tape
controlled printing operation,
he explained The same tapes
used bv magazines can be filed
in the computer center and
searched by the computers for
particular articles even before
the journal itself is printed, he
said.
The university computer
center receives these tapes
from publishers whose journals
are devoted to abstracts ol oth
er journals, Douglas said They
then plug the tapes into the cen
ter files This wav the center
can search a total of 250.(10(1 ar
ticles a year in the area of
chemistry alone The files are
constantly being updated and
the users are notified of ail ad
ditions
THE COMPUTERS can also
search all past files and re
cords No other system in the
world has this capability. Doug
las said
Currently there are 10 opera
tional data bases within thp
general areas of chemistry,
nuclear science, biology, edu
cation, engineering and agri
culture Soon there will be four
new data bases added in phys
ics. geology and U S govern
ment reports
• “What we are building to
ward." Douglas, “is a world
bank of information so that
eventually everything that is
published anywhere will be
available to our users
Eat-in expanded by McBee
with Bulldog lunch sessions
“Faculty members have
been saying they want to meet
students and students have said
they want to meet faculty and
administrators I think this in
formal lunch plan will give all
three their opportunities, said
Louise McBee. associate dean
of students for programs.
Dean McBeo has announced
the continuation of a weekly
lunch of the three constituen
cies of the University at the
Bulldog room in Memorial
Hall
“WE BEGAN this about two
years ago with women stu
dents. she said. ‘ Last year we
expanded the idea to include
more students — both men and
women. Students were selected
at random and sent letters in
viting them to the lunch We
had some really good discus
sions and decided it was worth
while to continue this year."
All students, faculty and
administrators are invited to
attend. Dean McBee said Ev
eryone goes through the food
line and then meets in the room
on the right of the cafeteria. We
hope that these weekly Wednes
day lunches will provide an
atmosphere for openness and
discussion "
Lunch will begin at noon and
last until 2 p m although any
one may stay as long as he
wishes, she said
