University Physical Plant per
sonnel will visit the Belk Building
downtown today for their first look
at the future home of parts of Ader
hold Hall, the University Physical
Plant director said
Ken Jordan said University and
Physical Plant officials will try to
determine what they can do to ac
commodate Aderhold classrooms
and offices that must be vacated for
asbestos removal.
Walt Britton, College of Education
business manager, said workers
will begin removing asbestos-con
talning fireproofing from Aderhold
Hall two floors at a time just after
Christmas. The entire area of re
moval must be evacuated before
work begins, he said.
Joe Burnett, Athens Downtown
Development Authority director,
said Monday that parking for fac
ulty and students won't be difficult
A city-owned lot on Foundry Street
can hold 500 to BOO cars, he said
Chet Malaooeki, a University aux
illary services official, said the Uni
versity also is examining the
possibility of extending campus
transit to the building The Univer
slty started a similar temporary
shuttle Iasi year when the Univer
slty Bookstore moved downtown
while the campus location was
being renovated
Britton said the removal will start
with the fifth and sixth floors Ev
erything in those floors will be
moved to the downtown location be
fore Christmas, he said
Jordan said the Georgia Building
Authority, "a stale agency whose
sole existence Is removing asbestos
from stale buildings," is handling
the removal
Britton said he scheduled two
meetings between Aderhold faculty
and asbestos removal authorities to
discuss the process of removal and
safety of the operation
Jordan said the accommodations
at the new location will be ad
equate, but not perfect The Univer
slty can't make major structural
changes In the building, he said
Physical Plant officials are taking
Into consideration a list of wants
and needs submitted by the College
of Education, which primarily occu
pies Aderhold Hall, he said
"We have to try to make it meet
the needs, always accepting the pus
albtllly that it won t be lot) percent
of what you might like," he said
The Belk Building Is located at 413
Clayton St,, across the street from
the former off campus University
Bookstore
Brittun said the asbestos-con
taining fireproofing was sprayed In
the ceilings above each floor
The ceilings where the fire
proofing was sprayed, however,
aren't the ones directly above the
classrooms, he said
A false ceiling is in place
throughout the building. Britton
said. Above the false ceilings are
air ducts, wiring and other median
leal devices
"Right now it Is sealed," he said
"Nothing Is coming out."
Jordan said the only way asbestos
fibers could be dislocated In the
building's present condtlion would
lie (or inalntanence personnel In dis
locate them
"The cleaning <removal) is essen
tial lo the long time usability of the
building ," Jordan said

Bell donates herself to Army
By Lra Mi l
Red and Hlark l nmtrifcoilnft WrHer
A profile
Ruhmell Bell, an 88 year old do
nations collector (or the Salvation
Army, is thinking of making a new
investment
"I told my friends I'm going to
get one of them electric rolling
chairs for work," the petite gray
haired woman said "They told me
I should lake up money for that
Then I told them I d get a skate
board Instead "
That Isn't an unusual comment
from this sprltely, spunky woman
clad In a bulky burgundy sweater,
light blue dress and navy blue
slacks
She asks for donations lo help
others She doesn't ask for things
for herself
Bell said she began work for the
Salvation Army during a vacation
40 years ago
"I was working at New Way
Cleaners and t had a week's vaca
tlon with pay," she recalled while
sitting In her Meigs Street home
"I asked Captain Stelnhower. 'You
got something for me to do 1 I go'
a week's vacation.'"
Salvation Army Capt Sleln-
hower put Bell to work answering
phones, supervising the urganlta
lion's three-legged collection pot
and overseeing the dime table
The dime table contains slots Into
which passers-by slip change
Bell later began soliciting dona
tions on the street
"The first time I went out to col
lect I went to Norms Itown and l
got shout SO cents, she said, ecru-
tinting the ceiling through black
horn rimmed glasses
Stelnhower eventually left
Athens, and Bell never returned to
her job at the cleaners
"I promised Captain Stelnhower
I'd help him till he got someone
else to help him, and I'm still
here," she said "U went that way
year after year — looks like I'm
Just going to stay on."
Now Bell collects as much as 150
a day — more than that at
Christmas - by standing In one o(
Iwo places Twice a week for four
hours a day she collects outside
the Mayflower Restaurant on
Broad Street or else al the corner
of Broad and College Avenue
Fur wurk she duns a navy blue
uniform and collects her tambou
rtne and copies of "The War Cry,”
the Salvation Army publication
She then ties the scarf of her worn,
navy straw bonnet in a bow to the
left of her chin
"I need a new bonnet," she said
wistfully “It's so old no one will
re-cover It, and I don't know what
I’m going todo."
Bell never demands that
passers by give She ask*
"You can't make people give,"
she said "But the University stu
dents give They are kind and
good "
Many University students return
to see her years after they have
graduated, spouses and children In
tow, Bell said
Bell recalls only one negative re
sponse from tn Athena business
owner
"The owner came out of the
kitchen with his shirt wide open,"
Bell said with a laugh. "He was
