Bids out soon on student-center additions
By EVE MAJOR
Had >net Blark HUH WrMrr
Bids for constructing the
remainder of Phase I of the
new student center will pro
bably go out in three or four
months, according to Dwight
Douglas, vice president for
Student Affairs
"The architect is prepar
ing his final working draw
ings and his best projection
as to the final cost of the
project," Douglas said
"What we re waiting for are
the cost estimates and a
review of the final draw
ings
When the student center
was originally designed, the
bids came in around $7
million, Douglas said The
project was only budgeted
for $5 5 million, however,
forcing the architects to
redesign the center They
eliminated parts of the
original plan, including a
parking area under the
building As a result, bids
came in at about $4 million,
he said
With the left-over funds,
Student Affairs decided to
add facilities that were left
out of the second set of plans
These facilities include the
remainder of the food ser
vice areas, student-
organization meeting rooms,
and club and organization of
fices on the first-floor
Roughly $875,000 will be
needed to complete the food
service areas and the post of
fice, and $425,000 will be
needed to finish the meeting
rooms, a movie theater, and
student-organization sec
tions, Douglas said. Tables,
chairs, and other equipment
will cost at least an addi
tional $400,000 The total
completion cost is about $1.7
million, Douglas said, but
Student Affairs has less than
$1 million left.
"Depending on what is
left, we have to come up with
the difference,” he said
“We just have to look at all
the various budget .op
portunities we have.' ’
Students will probably be
able to use the facilities on
the first floor of the student
center sometime during fall
quarter, Douglas said,
though construction of the
first floor will not yet be
completed
According to state re
quirements, a second con
tractor cannot work on a site
until the first contractor has
completed his work As a
result, Douglas said, the re
mainder of the student
center cannot go out for bids
until Student Affairs can bet
ter anticipate the end of the
current construction. If the
present contractor is the
lowest bidder, then construc
tion of the new facilities will
be tied into his contract.
Phase II of the student
center has not been designed
and planning money is not
yet available Douglas said
he had hoped to obtain plann
ing funds from the Board of
Regents this year, but was
unsuccessful. Douglas said
he hoped the 1983 General
Assembly would allot
enough construction money
that the regents could fund
the project. "The way the
economy is, planning money
is very difficult and project
money is almost
ble," he said.
impossi- recreation equipment
Phase II will cost between
$5 million and $6.5 million
“Of course, that depends on
what you put in it," Douglas
said Phase II may include a
small inner-denomination
chapel, a bowling alley, a
crafts area, a faculty dining
area, a darkroom, a typing
room, music-listening
rooms, more meeting rooms,
a check-out area for outdoor
Construction of the center
began in January 1981, and
the projected completion
date has been moved back
many times. Inclement
weather during the winter
months slowed the center’s
progress
The center is named after
Dean William Tate, former
Dean of men who died in fall

Red and Hlack ( ontritxiUnR Writer
Walking into Stegeman
Hall gym on Tuesday and
Thursday evenings is like
walking on to the set of an
old Rung Fu movie
Men and women wearing
red, white, or black robes
are practicing what seem
like impossible kicks and
body movements Two guys
in a corner are paired off for
a fight to the death. They
punch, kick, jump and yell.
Then a tall man in a red
robe steps forward, yells a
command in Korean, and the
entire group orders itself in
to rows The man barks out
another command and the
group comes to attention He
bows with his fists held for
ward waist-high The group
does likewise
It’s not an old movie set,
though; it’s a regular
meeting of the University
Karate Club.
Jim Couch, the man in the
red robe, is the club’s spon
sor and instructor. He holds
a third-degree black belt in
Hap Kido and a fourth
degree black belt in Tae
Kwon Do, the style of karate
he teaches club members.
"Karate is just good,
healthy fun,” says Couch,
"and anyone can do it.”
“When I teach the class,’’
he says, “my objectives are
to teach self-defense,
discipline, coordination,
balance, timing and agility."
To meet these objectives,
Couch follows a rigid class
structure. He first leads club
members through a series of
stretching and warm-up ex
ercises guaranteed to make
you wonder why you ever
came. Then, newcomers are
taken aside by a student in
structor to learn basic
moves and form. The rest of
the group runs through
kicks, blocks, punches, and
finally divides up according
to belts to work on form and
fighting techniques.
Mike McIntosh, a senior in
education, is a member of
the club and has earned a se
cond degree yellow belt.
McIntosh joined the club
last winter because several
of his friends were
members.
“They taught me right
from scratch," he says.
"I enjoy karate as a sport
and for self-defense," says
McIntosh, adding that
karate has taught him self-
discipline, and helped keep
him in shape
McIntosh emphasizes that
the club is geared to begin
ners Members are divided
and instructed according to
ability.
He also says that women
should feel free to join.
"Girls are more flexible
than men,” McIntosh says,
"so it’s not any more dif
ficult for women than it is for
men.”

Thii information hae been prepared and cubmitted
by the office of Student Affaire
McIntosh says that one of
the club's assets is that there
are no membership dues and
no equipment to buy.
“liie only expense would
come if you wanted to buy a
gi,” he says.
A gi is the robe, or pajama-
like outfit worn by martial
artists to ensure freedom of
movement. They usually
cost around $40
But McIntosh says gis are
not a necessity. Loose-fitting
shorts or sweat pants work
just as well.
Rodolfo Dorado, a junior
in arts and sciences, is also a
Karate Club member and
helps instruct the classes.
Dorado holds a first-
degree black belt and has
placed in several tour
naments. He placed second
in the 1975 World Karate
Games in Anaheim, Califor
nia. In 1976, he again placed
second in the North
American Karate Games in
Los Angeles.
Dorado began studying
Kung Fu when he was 8
years old and later switched
to karate.
Karate was originally used
by the peasants of India as a
means of self-defense
against the rich nobles,
Dorado says. Monks carried
the martial art to China,
where it was picked up by
the Japanese after they in
vaded the Chinese mainland.
Eventually, karate spread to
"orea and throughout the
.orld and was modified by
each culture.
“For example," Dorado
says, "Chinese karate is bas
ed on the use of animal
forms and is mostly a way of
self-defense."
The Chinese developed
this style by noting the self-
defense mechanisms of dif
ferent animals and adapting
them for human use. The
hands, for instance, can be
used to scratch out an adver
sary's eyes, much as a bird
Staff pholo/Sam Walton
Jim Couch, right, teaches by example
uses its claws for defense
In contrast, Tae Kwon Do,
which is taught to club
members, is almost 100 per
cent attack.
“It's 75 percent legs and 25
percent hand techniques,”
Dorado says.
“Tae Kwon Do is very
powerful and very effective,
but it’s not as graceful as the
Chinese style."
Dorado says he prefers
Tae Kwon Do because it is
geared to competition.
In addition to being good
physically, he says, karate is
also socially beneficial.
“It's a group sport. You
practice with lots of people
and help one another with
techniques."
"There's a lot of friendship
among the members," he
adds, “and students can give
a lot of input to the instruc
tors."
People interested in join
ing the UGA Karate Club
should simply attend a
meeting. The club holds
classes free of charge every
Tuesday and Thursday even
ing from 6 until 7:30 in
Stegeman gym.
