Bookstore gets breathing room
More space
planned for
coming fall

Design plans for an expansion of the
University Bookstore to provide addi
tional floor and storage space will be
completed this summer, and construe
lion should begin in late summer or ear
ly fall, a University official said Tues
day
The bookstore expansion will add
much-needed space for sales and
storage areas to both the first floor and
balcony area, said David Lunde. direc
tor of Campus Planning
Henry Bryan, assistant manager of
the bookstore, said the construction
plans were all tentative at this point
The expansion will also connect the
bookstore with the Tate Student Center.
Bryan said
Lunde said the University hired an
interior-design consultant to assure the
interior layout of the store best suited
the needs of customers and employees
The expansion may mean the reloca
tion of sales displays and cash
registers. Lunde said, as well as the
possibility of relocating the entrance of
the store
Lunde said construction on the
bookstore was tentatively set to be com
pleted by fall quarter 1984. "Hopeful
ly." he said
Lunde said the cost of construction
would not be estimated until bidding
was completed this summer
"We usually don't like to talk about
the budget until bids are completed."
Lunde said
Lunde and Bryan said the construc
tion would be financed by money raised
through different sales facilities on
campus, including the bookstore
Tentative plans for the expansion will
include a two-story sales area on the
north side of the present facility and a
one-story office area on the south side
The roof of the bookstore will be
painted to match the new student
center's roof, and Lunde said the bnck
color and general building design would
match the bookstore
The expansion became necessary in
late 1981 when officials decided in
creases in student enrollment, and the
resultant larger volume of merchan
dise needed, warranted more space

Mental help may be on wayfor Athens
By PATRICIA MEYERS

The Georgia Health Planning
and Developing Commission is
reviewing applications from two
private companies to build a
psychiatric hospital for Athens
and a surrounding 17-county
area
Hospital Corporation of
America, of Nashville, and
Charter Medical, of Nashville.
and Charter Medical, of Macon,
want to build a facility here
geared toward long-term
psychiatric rehabilitation
Paul lsman. spokesman for
Charter Medical, said the
company planned to build a
privately-owned psychiatric
hospital that would be open to the
public There is no such hospital
within the surrounding 17
counties
The type of hospital planned is
one in which persons who feel
they're unable to function nor
mally in society can admit
themselves for private
psychological help
The hospital will accept
patients from adolescence to old
age, lsman said, and help them
rehabilitate to function normally
in society
In the Athens area there is an
adequate number of mental-
health beds in general-hospital
psychiatric wards, according to
GHPDC regulations
But those wards deal only with
serious, sudden psychiatric
problems, the planned hospital
would focus on long-term
rehabilitation
Officials at Athens General
Hospital met last Tuesday to
discuss the proposed hospital
Doctors agreed this type facility
was needed in Athens, said Dr
Zeb Burrell
Michael Clark, spokesman for
GHPDC. said the decision bet
ween the two companies would be
difficult because they were two of
the most reputable hospital
corporations in America
The Athens City Council voted
April 5 in favor of building a
private psychiatric hospital

Nicaragua and El
Salvador are distant names
read in a newspaper that
most of us associate with
anarchy and violence But to
University students Julio
Melendez. Richard Duarte
and Juan, pseudonyms,
these volatile countries are
home, family and friends
"People in the United
States think we only like to
fight. " says Juan, who lived
in Nicaragua for several
years "We do not People
here must understand that

Melendez says "My father
told me to believe only 50
percent of what I read in the
newspapers He said the
fighting is mostly in the
mountains and along the
border "
Salvadoran Ricardo
Duarte, whose father is a
lawyer, agrees with
Melendez
T live in San Salvador, the
eapitol city, and I rarely
hear anything of the fighting
except maybe a boom off in
the distance, says Duarte
He also believes his
country's civil liberties
record, though not good, is
getting better

said "And really there is a

Melendez blames abuses
by the Salvadoran army on a

also feels the government's

put the United States in

"No. I don't think so,”
