AT REGENTS’ OFFICE
Student center bids to be opened today
By CAROL CLINE
Staff writer
The proposed bids for Phase I of the new
S7.5 million student center will be opened
today at 3 p.m. ai the Regents' Office in
Atlanta. Assuming the bids meet the
specified requirements, officials are ex
pected to announce by early Friday
morning which contractor will be awarded
the bid. David Lundc. assistant director of
campus planning, said.
It is possible the construction costs in the
bids will be larger than the budget,
officials say. "There is no way to predict
what the bids will be." according to
William Powell, director of student activi
ties. If the bids do exceed budget
specifications, according to Lundc. addi
tional items will have to be cut out to bring
the price down. These items easily could be
* put in at a later date, he said, and would
include tiling, paint and other finishing
touches.
"We don't like to cut out space." he
l added. As long as the structure is
completed, interior finishes can be added
later.
Lunde anticipates six bids from various
j general contractors, allhough this figure
may change. The stale is obliged to lake
the lowest bid of a qualified contractor. The
contractor must have backing from a
i bonding company and be able to lake out
insurance. These policies are required in
case the contractor is unable to complete
the job, according to Lunde.
j After the contract is awarded, paperwork
will take approximately two to three weeks.
Lunde said, after which "an order to
proceed is issued, and the contractor has
8 10 days to get on the site."
Phasic I of the Student Center became a
reality Iasi February when ihc stale
legislature earmarked $10.1 million to the
University and Clarke County.
1 $4.5 million is to fund the construction of
an annex to the law library and a
scvcn-siorv classroom building for the
business school. Groundbreaking cere-
• I monies will be Nov. 13. Lunde said. The
new buildings will be constructed exactly
as designed. Nothing had to be cut rut.
according to Frank Durham, vice-chancel
lor of facilities.
The remaining $5.5 million was appro
priated for the new student center. Miller.
Walt/, and Dedrich of Atlanta designed the
structure and analyzed three potential sites
Lunde said. Their research showed that
Stegcman Hall parking lot provides more
"desirable aspects" than the bookstore
parking lot or the Legion Pool area.
Since the estimated court cost for
completion of Phase I is $7.5 million, food
service equipment, cinema seats, parking
decks and the interior of the fifth floor had
to be cut from the initial plan to stay within
the budget. Powell said.
"The structure for all the immediate
needs will be complied, and top priority
spaces will be finished." he said.
This concept w ill allow for the addition of
the missing parts "without any additional
building structure." Lunde explained.
There were legal problems with the
Department of Transportation because the
design includes attaching an open plaza to
Sanford bridge. However, permission has
since been obtained, according to Lunde.
The design for tlu* first phase includes
interior malls which will be two stories tall
with natural lighting. The malls will
provide circulation, lounges and sidewalk
areas. "The open concept will allow
flexibility for the continually changing
needs of a campus center." Lunde said.
The main level also will house the
cinema, games area, administrative of
fices. information center, lobby and rest
rooms. Lunde said.
The multi-use room on the lower level
will be used for concerts, dances, catered
dinners and meetings. The IH00 sq. ft. area
will seal 1000 people, he said.
The building's exterior "will be primar
ily brick walls, concrete plazas, metal roof
faseias which will compliment the book
store root and carefully directed window
areas." according to Lunde. The trees on
the north and south sides of the building
will remain intact as a feature of the center.
Hopefully this portion of Phase I will be
completed two sears after construction
begins. Lunde said. "We are hoping for
fall quarter 1981."

Black Union ‘annoyed’
at not being on committee
Bv J( SUN (-IIIIS
and HIM Ilf
Officers of the lilaik Student Union said
Wednesday their organization was exclud
ed from participation in a special student-
administrator committee appointed to
sindv student involvement at the Univer
sity. calling the exclusion a "direct affront
n* this organization."
In a letter to Associate Dean of Students
Hill Mrndenhall. the two top officers of the
HSU said although a black student was
appointed to the committee they feel
elected HSU leaders should have been
notified and given a chance to participate.
"We are very annoyed that our organi
zation is seemingly being taken for granted
by the administration." the letter said.
HSU President Alfred King and Vice
President Rickey Goff mailed the letter to
Mcndctinull Wednesday, asking him to
notify them «>f the next student adminis
trator committee m cling so the BSU could
"have a chance to express our opinion of
student involvement at the University...."
The committee's first meeting was last
Thursday, when the students and adminis
trators broke into groups to study various
aspects of student involvement at the
University.
Mendenhall’s committee meeting, an -
nounccd ahead of time, was open to the
public King said he did not attend,
however, and the BSU sent no official
represent alive to the meeting. "I didn't
make it to that one." King said.
King said the BSU had no complaint with
Sara Collins, the black student on
Mendenhall's committee, but said he felt
the student affairs office should have
notified the HSU and invited its officers to
participate.
Dean of Student Services Dwight
Douglas. Mendenhall's superior, said his
office did not intend an "affront" to the
BSU.
It's unfortunate they see it that way."
Douglas said "We never considered the
BSU in that way at all.. ."
King said a HSU representative would
attend the next meeting of Mendenhall’s
committee.
Several students attended last Thurs-
day s meeting and offered comments on
the committee's work.
University Union President Jimmy Lhir
<>t ih« Mcmlcnhatl
committee, said he fell the BSU had a valid
complaint.
Ihc Black Student Union was left out
.oul that's a mistake, obviously." Durham
said, adding he planned to seek input fr<»m
th< HSU and other groups in evaluating
student input at the University.
T he text uf King and Goff's letter appears
on p. 3.
King said the HSU has about 250
registered members ami represents vimc
'MX) black students on campus HSU is an
umbrella organization overseeing various
groups catering to the concerns of black
students.
I he Mendenhall committee icprcscnl*
the first comprehensive effort to study
student involve incut m decision making at
the University since the abolition of the
Student Government Association fast
spring.
Former SC»A President Harold Mulherin.
responsible for the constitutional referen
duin by which students abolished SGA.
said Wednesday he wonders if the BSU has
a valid point in complaining about ihc
Mendenhall committee
"I don't know if their complaint is
justified." Mulherin said. "The HSU is an
obvious interest group."
Mulherin earlier expressed doubts the
Mendenhall committee would achieve any
thing of substance.
Douglas said the committee was de
signed merely to study current avenues of
student input and determine if changes are
needed. "We need a method to communi
cate things to students through officials
that they have elected." Douglas said
"By communication. I don't necessarily
mean another student government."
Douglas said.
