Reconstruction of Alumni Building You notice that your teacher's lips are moving, but all you can hear is the grating snore of a buzzsaw. You panic because you think you have a case of terminal dandruff when you see white flakes all over your shoulders and notebooks, only to discover it's just plaster raining down on you from the ceiling. As you zip down the stairs, you leave your hand print on the freshly painted bannister. You hurdle large rolls of carpet as you run through the halls, trying to make it on time to your next class which has been relocated in the second floor bathroom of the library. All progress has its price. Students and teachers were bothered a bit by the construction going on during the renovation of the Humanities Building, but now that most of it is done Lee College has an all-purpose classroom facility with a whole new look on the inside. Long counter-top tables with chairs have replaced the old graffiti-wracked desks. Carpet has been laid and white paint applied all over. New chalkboards have been put up and a fluorescent lighting system has been installed. Also, included in the revamping were heating and air conditioning units. Room was made for new offices, and all the teachers were grouped together according to disci- pline. Large classes, small seminar rooms, conference rooms, media instruction rooms, lounges, and much needed bathrooms were a major part of the refurbish- ing. The Humanities Building has emerged to fill the growing academic needs of the campus, so any inconvenience that may have been caused can be patiently overlooked. -Bob Fisher ,..ul ,- 'i 1 7

Faculty Office Shuffle Through the war zone in the old Alumni Building the battle raged. The sounds of hammers hammering, saws sawing, and debris crashing could be heard almost constantly as the renovation of the building proceeded. Amazing though it may seem. there were no human casualties, but the hardest hit areas of the embattled building seemed to be the faculty offices. One cannot help but feel some pity for the poor, mistreated professors wandering aimlessly about the battered halls looking for their office materials and books that have been picked up and moved without their knowledge. These otherwise strong men and women are absolutely helpless without their offices. Even though the inconvenience has extended to the individual student who has lost a class or professor during the shuffle, nothing can compare to the grief experienced by a forlorn teacher who has lost his cubicle. One of the most humorous and at the same time the most pitiful incidents that occurred as a result of the renovation took place toward the middle of the fall semester. Murl Dirksen, en route to his General Sociology class, discovered that his entire office had been transported into an unknown limbo, and could not be found. Much to his apparent chagrin and to the joy of his students, class had to be cancelled because his lecture notes were safely tucked away in the unknown location. The price of progress is high! -Gary Manning .Ma..,,f.... .. , W M ,,, Sl
