Crises Over The Union Students say No, when Winter room changes leave them in me cold mm mm Unm StspIS 13s 9 IB ' fils mw The Student Union was the center of controversy when students protested an administrative decision to move Music department facilities into the building, due to renovations underway at 150 Beacon Street. The Abbot Library is scheduled to move to 150 Beacon Street in the fall of 1982. The most gripping drama to unfold at Emerson this year was not pro- duced by the theatre department, did not sell out, and did not close to rous- ing applause, although it appeared briefly that it might bring down the house. The production was a nearly month long improvisational variation of A Comedy of Errors, except that there was nothing funny about it. At center stage was the Student Union, the only building on the east end of campus which is known by name instead of by street number. When students returned from their January break they discovered that several rooms in the Union had been converted into Dance and Music class- rooms and offices. The conversion of 150 Beacon Street into a new library forced these classes to relocate tem- porarily in the Union. Those entering the Union found that Emerson Inde- pendent Video had moved, the Cultu- ral Center was being renovated and that there was a piano in the weight room. Students were angry — some, in- censed — that these moves had been made arbitrarily, with no student in- put. Meetings were called and plans were made; for the first time in recent memory, students were rallying around a common cause. “We decided that we definitely weren’t going to take it lying down,” said Danny Amorello, the 1981-1 982 Presi- dent of The Student Government Association. Amorello met with the SGA Executive Council on Tuesday, February 2, to plan a strategy for re- versing some of the space allocations. The next day the Executive Council attended a mass EBONI meeting that had been called for the same purpose. EBONI leaders were especially in- censed because Co-chairmen Ron Mitchell and Terri Waller had, they said, been promised by Emerson Pres- ident Allen Koenig earlier that the Cultural Center would not be affected by any changes in Union space alloca- tions. continued on next page 19
