that they were conscipus of the
need for better classroom fa¬
cilities. Because of this they
hid hired a New York firm of
consultants-(against the pres¬
ident's wishes) to survey
toe needs of the college.
They also denied any inter¬
ference with administrative i
matters until “they felt they
bad to interfere.”
Answering the trustees’ state¬
ments, Dr. Moron pointed out
that it was not necessary, in
bis opinion, to spend $17,000 to
have a firm of consultants
mnfirm the need for a new
’ommunications center.
iHe then detailed needs for
better classroom facilities and
leplored the inadequate science
building, the music building,
Use liberal arts building and
the building used for nursing
and home economics.
