Construction is scheduled to begin in
August on a new academic building on
the site of the parking lot between the
law school, the business school and the
School of Environmental Design, accord
ing to the University’s Office of Campus
Planning
The building will contain five large
classrooms for use by the business
school, as well as fourteen general
classrooms. In addition, three design
studios for environmental design classes
are planned
Funding for the $3 million project was
provided by the Georgia General
Assembly as part of a $10 1 million
package including the new student center
and an addition to the law library.
Completion of the new academic
building is slated for August. 1981. "if
everything goes right,” said David
Lunde, assistant director of campus
planning
Classes should be held in the building
starting fall quarter. 1981. Lunde said
The additional classroom space should
be especially helpful to the business
school, according to Lunde "They’re in
bad shape* for classroom space. They’re
spread out all over campus." he said
Brooks Hall, where the College of
Business Administration is located, is
almost entirely office space, due to
expansion of the school over the years
Four of the new business classrooms
will seat i:»8 persons iThe fifth will hold
94 » They will feature wrap-around
seating, with students seated both in
front of and beside the instructm *
lectern
According to Lunde. $3 million should
be sufficient for the project. In the event
that costs are higher than expected, some
features of the plan can be deleted
The building, as yet unnamed, will be
seven stories high, constructed in a
modern brick and glass design Few
windows are planned for the classroom
areas so that projectors can be used
easily
The environmental design studios, on
the other hand, will have large windows
A connecting passage featuring large
windows and green plants, will run from
environmental design to the new
building The connector will serve as a
student lounge with an adjacent vending
room
The elevators w ill provide access to all
floors during the day. but will serve only
the design studios at night
Lunde pointed out that the term
academic building" is a misnomer for
the new structure, as it will in no way
replace the present academic building
adjacent to the arch
“The new building will probably be
named for someone." he said.

Progress nixes parking
By CATHERINE RODRIGUE
Staff writer
Over 600 parking spaces will be lost when construction begins on the new student
center and new classroom building according to Associate Director of Campus Planning
David Lunde
The parking problems associated with the student center’s construction could persist
for four years or more if parking is not funded in phase one of the center
"The center is currently funded for $5 5 million, and among the things not included is
parking." according to Dean of Studen* Affairs Dwight Douglas.
There will bo an inconvenience during construction of phase one of the center, and
there will also be an inconvenience when the first phase is complete since it may not
include parking, Douglas said
The new classroom building will eliminate an additional 50 parking spaces.
"We are making provisions for adding parking under phase one (of the student
center' so we can build there whenever it is funded," Lunde said However, the parking
funds will not be requested for at least two years.
Presently, a gravel lot is under construction on the site of the old poultry houses on
south campus. Lunde said Officials hope the addition of these spaces will ease the
problem
There are approximately 2000 spaces in the gravel lot with room for expansion,
according to James S. Tardy, manager of the Traffic Safety Department Tardy added
that he foresees "quite a problem in replacing the spaces they are losing to the student
center."
The Stegeman lot accommodates about 3000 cars daily. Tardy said

Pinball games
in legal limbo
By SETH COHEN
and LAURA LUEDTKE
Twelve pinball machines in the
Memorial gameroom may be illegal
under a I960 Athens ordinance which
prohibits the operation of pinball
machines in the city limits. The Red and
Black has learned
Although pinball machines are legal
under state law. local communities have
the option of enacting their own
ordinances concerning pinball machines,
according to Michael Thurmond, assist
ant city attorney
Thurmond said he was not aware there
were pinball machines in the game room
and does not know whether any action
will be taken by the city attorney s office
Dr William Powell, director of student
activities, at the University said he was
under the impression that the machines
in the game room were permissible sinie
the state law was amended to allow
pinball machines to operate as long as
no more than 15 free games could be won
from the machine with one quarter
Powell said since the University is
state property, he thought the state law
would apply. The machines were
installed after the state law was
amended
According to the city ordinance, a
pinball machine is defined as * any
coin-operated machine whereby balls are
rolled or propelled in such a manner as
to achieve a score or activate any other
measure of attainment capable of being
seen or heard as a bell or a light ."
The City Council tonight will consider
a proposal to allow the operation of
pinball machines in the Russell game
room The Council's Public Safety
Committee has recommended the council
delay action on the proposal while
research into the state law can be
conducted, according to committee
Chairman Jerry F Nicholson
The council has the power to amend the
existing ordinance to coincide with state
law . according to Thurmond
However, before the full council could
consider such an amendment, the Public
Safety Committee would have to
recommend the ordinance be changed
Club lobbys for campus beer
By PAM LELAND
Staff writer
If there is a major push this spring to
publicize the issue and to generate
student interest the legal aspects of
selling beer on campus could be taken
care of in a year or two. according to
Harold Mulherin, president of the
Brewmaster’s Club and newly-elected
student body president
"The most important thing is to keep
the issue tof selling beer on campus)
alive," Mulherin said
Mulherin would like to see the efforts to
sell beer on campus work in coordination
with the construction of the new student
center.
‘If a student is seriously
interested in having
beer sold on campus,
start writing legislators’
-Harold Mulherin
“Dean Douglas (Dean of Student
Affairs) told me to push for the new
student center and then to push to have
beer sold in it," Mulherin said when
asked what the club’s immediate goals
were.
Mulherin also mentioned the possibility
of having a "beer day” during spring
quarter
"We would ask every person who is in
favor of selling beer on campus to carry
a can of beer to class—whether it was
open, closed, full or empty would be up to
the individual Then possibly around
noon, we would have a rally at Memorial
Plaza,” Mulherin explained
If a student is seriously interested in
having beer sold on campus, then he or
she should start writing state legislators
and (Athens) councilmen, Mulherin
suggested
"We also need to talk to officials, get
their feedback and begin to check out
exactly what laws need to be changed."
Mulherin said
Mulherin also feels that an official
presentation to the Board of Regents will
be necessary "so they will know we are
serious."
The Brewmasters Club is officially
about a year old and was formed because
of the visit cf England’s Prince Charles
to the University in 1977. according to
Mulherin
"We wrote Prince Charles and asked
him to join some of us up on the tracks at
the football game We felt that we needed
a formal name so we came up with 'The
Brewmasters Club’.”
Since that time they’ve had petition
drives concerning beer on campus and
also have been responsible for the issue
of Bulldog Beer'.
"Anyone who drinks beer is a
brewmaster. but in order to be an official
member you have to come to our
meetings and buy a pitcher," Mulherin
said
The meeting time is Friday night at
one of the local saloons
"Spring quarter we will be meeting at
either O'Malley's or T K 's. We ask
anyone to come join us.” Mulherin said

His life—people, health and running
By W ARREN SMITH
Light-hearted and humorous. Stan Cottrell just doesn t fit the mold
Long-distance runners are supposed to be quiet, moody and intense. Cottrell is fun
and rambunctious
But he’s definitely a long-distance runner, even if he doesn t fit the stereotype, and
the 35 year old runner has logged over 7000 miles during the past year to prove it For
non-mathematicians, that’s almost 20 miles a day. every day. which in non technical
terms means "a lot.”
But besides being a running person, he’s also a people person with a real concern for
people and their health This attitude brought him to Athens Saturday to participate in
the Running For Growth 5000. a benefit road race for the Human Growth Foundation
Proceeds from the race will be used to help children afflicted with growth defects
Cottrell is concerned about the poor physical shape most people are in
"So many people just become more sedentary after they’re 25. said Cottrell it
really bothers me because I'm so aware of the fitness levels they’re in
‘This God-given machine, the body - I’m just
beginning to touch it.’ Stan Cottrell
And indeed he is. A (ew minutes with Cottrell should be worth college credit for all
the healthful information he pours into his listener For example, did you know lhal
industry spends $19 billion a year on health care and that General motors spent more
on health care for employees than it did on steel for cars' 1 The long distance runner has
more than just a part time interest in facts of this type
Cottrell’s concern for fitness led him to organize Life Dynamics and he and his
associates ' custom design on-site, corporate fitness programs ' for business executives
in the Southeast, he said Cottrell practices what he preaches by running to and from
work every day He showers and dresses each morning in his office
Cottrell, who has run 100.000 miles since entering his first foot race 23 years ago
attended college at Western Kentucky University on a track scholarship After finishing
school, he kept running and has been in the Olympic Time Trials twice But Oly mpic
distances, even the marathon, turned out to be loo short for his liking so he committed
himself to ultra-marathon distances
Recently. Cottrell ran the length of Georgia—over 350 miles—in five days to raise
money and interest for research by American Cancer Society He s currentlv training
to go for the record in the 24-hour distance run. The current record is around 180 miies
and he thinks he has a pretty good shot at it.
But until then he is concerned with fitness, running, and people Cottrell wants tc
make fitness a lifestyle because "we all have abilities we haven't even begun to touch,”
he said "I’m 35 and I've had some of my best times in the past three years
"This God-given machine, the body-I'm just beginning to touch it.” ne said
