University chapel opens back up in 2 weeks
By LARA GARDNER
Contributing Writer
In about two weeks construction
on the University chapel will be
completed, allowing it to become a
usable facility once again.
The renovation project cost
$360,000 with an additional $40,-
000 covering fire damage caused by
faulty wiring last fall, said David
Matheny, the Campus Planning
architect in charge of the project.
The construction was funded by
the University System Board of Re
gents.
Plans were to bring the chapel
up to University standards by
structural repairs and the addition
of air conditioning and restrooms
to update the building, said
Matheny.
“In phase one of our work, we re
inforced the structure underneath
the balconies, repaired and re
placed the plaster ceiling and the
balcony railing. We also did the
structural changes needed to acco
modate the restrooms and air con
ditioning," Matheny said.
Extra work resulting from the
fire included some repainting to
cover smoke damage and the re
placement of a window which re
ceived bum marks, Matheny said.
Not surprisingly, a sprinkler
system and fire alarms were
among the additions to the chapel.
Rewiring the chapel was necessary
to prevent further fires from hap
pening.
Additional work will be com
pleted next year, with the renewal
of funds from the regents. Comple
tion of the central air and heating
system and further renovations
would make up the second phase of
the project, said Tom Bowen, assis
tant to the vice president of Aca
demic Affairs.
“We were hoping to get what
was needed to get done this year,
but we just ran out of money,"
Bowen said.
All that remains of the nine-
month job is inspection to ensure
all work meets standards. An ar
chitect has already visited the
chapel and suggested further re
pair to the sheetrock and handrail.
After an engineer, plumber and
mechanic have done their rounds,
the chapel will be turned back over
to the University.
The funding for the project came
from allocations of the regents’
miyor repair and replacement
fund, Bowen said. His office works
with the music school in sched
uling programs and events in the
chapel.
Before the fire, the bid for reno
vation was already secured with
Campus Planning. The chapel re
ceived top priority status from Uni
versity President Charles Knapp
and various committees.
Bowen said no other projects
had been delayed or pushed aside
due to the construction.
The music school is the prime
user of the chapel. Individual or
small ensembles use it for recitals
and music majors take their final
exams there.
“We use the chapel mainly as a
rehearsal hall or classroom as well

what was needed to
get done this year, but
we just ran out of
money.'

assistant to the vice
president
of Academic Affairs
as a performance hall," said Olin
Parker, associate director of the
music school.
The school has used the North
and South PJ auditoriums as a
substitute until construction on
the chapel is finished.
Faculty and guests perform
there occasionally. In addition,
about six special series are held on
Saturday nights throughout the
year, Parker said.
New communications system almost finished
By DAVID TWIDDY
Contributing Writer
Attracting stares as they peer
into the heavens, four new satellite
dishes along Hooper Street are the
only visible parts of a new commu
nications system that will be
unique in its scope and potential.
The satellite dishes are the
downlink for the Video Local Area
Network, a campus-wide video dis
tribution system that will be able
to send satellite programming to
every classroom, administrative of
fice and residence hall on campus.
The system, currently in its final
stages of completion and expected
to be in operation by the end of the
quarter, will be used to supplement
classroom instruction, said John
Stephens, director of the Instruc
tional Resources Center.
Using the four 3.6 meter dishes,
the University will be able to inter
cept programming from five satel
lites in geo-station ary orbits.
Satellites in geo-stationary or
bits move at the same speed as the
earth and always appear to be in
the same spot, Stephens said.
Examples of the kind of pro
gramming the system will carry
are C-SPAN 1 and 2, channels
which televise coverage of the U.S.
Senate and House of Representa
tives, foreign language channels
and educational networks like the
Discovery Channel and the
Learning Channel, Stephens said.
With this system, a professor
can direct students who are having
trouble with ideas in class to a cer
tain program.
“It’s a resource to add to class
we’ve never had before,” Stephens
said.
The University will be
able to intercept
programming from five
satellites in geo
stationary orbits.
In addition to instructional and
administrative uses, the system
will bring network television and
reasonably-priced cable, like
ESPN, into residence halls. Ste
phens said premium cable chan
nels, like HBO and Cinemax,
proved too expensive.
Another possibility the IRC is
studying is picking up single
events such as annual meetings of
national organizations that have
chapters on campus. This would
provide students in these organiza
tions with the opportunity to par
ticipate in meetings held too far
away for them to attend otherwise.
Also in the works is a channel to
help new students understand reg
istration procedures and bus
routes. It will also provide informa
tion about Athens for visitors.
The groundwork for the system
was laid out by a joint data task
force committee set up in winter of
1981. The committee wanted to
deal with the uncertainty re
garding the impact of telephone in
dustry deregulation on University
telephone and data systems,

according to Walter McRae, in
terim director of University Com
puting and Networking Services.
McRae, who served as coordi
nator for the data representation
on the committee, said the 12 to 15
members were concerned with
finding new local systems to
handle the University’s voice and
data systems. The committee
feared the loss of assured prices
following the breakup of AT&T, the
University’s systeniat that time.
The committee is made up of
members of the faculty, budget of
fice, Physical Plant and IRC. It de
cided to install a new telephone
system owned and maintained by
the state, construct a new data
system and begin work on the
Video LAN.
The new phone system was in
stalled between the fall of 1985 and
winter of 1987. In anticipation of
the Video LAN, a video systems
conduit was buried along with the
new telephone and data lines.
Using state and University allo
cations as they became available,
the LAN has been pieced together
for the past four years at a rough
estimate of $150,000, Stephens
said. This excludes the installation
of the conduit, which was handled
with the installation of the tele
phone system.
Stephens said this system will
be unique among other universi
ties due to its ability to transmit
anywhere on campus and because
it’s able to combine administrative,
entertainment and instructional
services into one system.
Several Southeastern universi
ties, such as the University of Mis
sissippi at Oxford and Florida
State University in Tallahassee,
have systems similar to Video
LAN, but they cover only part of
their campuses or are limited to
one channel.

JUDICIAL REPORT
Sorority charged:
Assault hearing pending
The Office of Judicial Programs handed down two sen
tences last week and received 15 complaints, one of them
against an organization.
The sentences, the first one from the Main Court and
the second from an administrative hearing officer, are as
follows:
• Misrepresentation of records — in this case, pre
senting a Student Affairs official with a forged excuse to
drop a class. The student was sentenced to 10 hours of com
munity service, probated suspension for one year, and must
write a letter of apology to the official.
• Academic dishonesty — the student must complete 60
hours of community service and is on permanent probated
expulsion.
Of the 15 complaints received last week, the first is
against an organization and the rest are against individ
uals, including:
• A sorority charged with physical assault
• Six for damage to property — six students allegedly
vandalized a building.
• Two for disorderly conduct — two students were alleg
edly on the roof of a campus building without authorization
• One for disorderly conduct — the student is charged
with speeding on East Campus Road.
Federal privacy laws governing information released by
the University allow only three sets of facts to be disclosed
about an individual involved in disciplinary proceedings:
charges filed, the verdict and sentence The University can’t
release any circumstances which would identify the per
sons) involved.
Five pieces of information regarding organization cases
can be released by the University: the organization’s name,
charges filed, the verdict, sentence and a brief synopsis of
the case.
