Funds For New Ad Building Approved
BY RICH INNES
Funds for the completion of the
ground floor of the Mossman
Administration building (commonly
referred to as the new ad building)
were approved last Friday by the
UNC Board of Govenors. The
ground floor, which presently is
nothing but exposed insulation and
concrete, is expected to be ready for
use by next December.
Plans for the first floor, which
will cost an estimated $400,000 to
complete, include the relocation
there of the Registrars Office, the
Office of Academic Advising, the
Cashiers Office and the Admissions
Office. Also the Office for the Vice-
Chanccllor of Student Affairs now
located in Elliott University Center
will move into the new offices.
The reshuffling will move the
Placement Office, presently located
in the basement of the Alumni
House, to a vacated office in the
Fousi (Old) Administration
Building. The UNC-G News Bureau
will then be moved into the Alumni
House, under the co-ordination of
the Vice-Chancellor for
development.
Conversion Of Female Dorm
Discussed Bv Senate
BY BETH HAYES
Staff Writer
Office of Residence Life hearings
were presented to Senate on
Tuesday and Wednesday nights,
February 9 and 10, in EUC. To be
discussed was the increasing male
population on campus and the need
to convert one dormitory on campus
into a male dormitory in order to
accomodate this increase. Three
proposals were presented:
l:Conversion of a high-rise
dormitory into a co-ed dorm with
males and females on alternating
floors.
2: Conversion of one of the
freshman girls' dorms on the quad
into a male dorm.
3: Conversion of one half of a
double dorm (Weil/Winfield,
Strong/Moore, or
Mendenhall/Ragsdale) into a male
dorm.
"It really doesn't matter to me,"
said Dean Shirley Flynn, who
presided over the hearings. Dean

Weil-Down On Proposal
by MALINDA WALKER
Staff Writer
A proposal that might turn Weil
dormitory into a male dorm and
force them into seeking
accommodations elsewhere has
prompted the residents of Weil
dormitory to draw up a petition
protesting the proposal. The
petition is directed at the Office of
Residence Life, which is
investigating the matter of finding
accomodations for the overflow of
men on campus, and Dean Shirley
Flynn.
The petition contains a list of
objections to the transformation of
Weil/Winfield into *a co-ed dorm,
with Weil being the side which
would have to make the transition
from female to male. It
recommends that "Weil Hall is not
the logical solution to the problem
of increasing residence space for
male students."
Led by Margaret Oakely, Cindy
Nesbit. and the Weil staff,
approximately 125 residents of the
dorm, as well as some residents,
have signed the petition, which was
first drawn up last Tuesday. Says
Ms. Nesbit, "It was a joint effort.
We obtained information included
in the petition from residents and
from reading the student handbook.
It's not just a matter of "we want
our rooms," but that we just did not
feel that transforming this dorm
into a co-ed residence was feasible."
According to Ms. Nesbit, Dean
Flynn has called a number of
meetings with residents of Weil and
other dorms involved in the matter
to discuss possibilities of alternative
dorms to use in the accomadations
of the males. A decision should be
reached by the various committees
which must review the situation
before spring break, and Ms. Nesbit
has stated that if any more mass
meetings are to be held, they will be
attended by the Weil faction.
Purported objections contained
in the petition include:
I: That recreation facilities in
lobbies between Weil and Winfield
would be made inacessible to
residents of both dorms if
connecting doors had to be closed.
2: That visitation policies between
the two dorms would have to be
readjusted.
3: That the projected male
enrollment would rapidly grow
beyond the dorm's capacity.
4: That male and female lifestyles
are too dissimilar to make their
living in adjoining dormitories
feasible.
The proposal to convert Weil into
a male dorm is one of several
proposals that the Office of
Residence Life is investigating in
order to accomodate the growing
population of males on campus.
Flynn stated that the student's
decision would play a major role in
what was decided by the Office of
Residence Life.
The prospect of converting a
highrisc was quickly done away
with, as only one male in the
attending crowd professed a
willingness to live in one if possible.
"I don't want to live in a
crackerbox," stated one male.
"Women have to put up with it,
(small rooms) too." was the reply.
David Rettic, dorm resident,
thought that "The Board of
Trustees would hit the roof." at the
idea of a co-ed dorm such as the one
proposed.
Men at the gathering were also
against converting a female dorm on
the quad into a male dorm. They
stated that they wanted to be spread
out over more of the campus.
Weil/Winfield residents did not
agree, saying that they thought that
"those who would have to leave one
of the dorms in order to make room
for males would probably
strenuously object. One group of
Weil residents even went so far in
their objections as to draw up a
petition against the proposal.
Objections were also raised to this
proposal on the grounds that all the
males would be grouped into one
administrative area.
The idea of using a cross-sectional
building was the most
favored on both sides. When a
general consensus was taken, only 2
people voted for a high-rise,
approximately 20 voted for
conversion of a freshman dorm,
while fifty people voted for a cross-sectional
building being used.
Males, as well as females, are
generally opposed to moving into
Weil/Winfield. It was agreed that it
would be much easier to put locks
on the "crash doors" between the
dorms in Moore/Strong than in
Weil/Winfield. It was also felt that
the females would take better care
of the latter dormitory than would
the males. There were a few people
at the meeting who felt that
Weil/Winfield would be the
preferable dormitory, however, and
among those were Area
Administrator Alan Unger, who felt
Moore/Strong was too large
to be filled by the existing male
population.
Of the three choices of cross-sectional
dorms, only four people in
the consensus voted for
Weil/Winfield, none voted for
Ragsdale/Mendenhall, and almost
everyone else seemed to prefer
Moore/Strong.
Dean Flynn said that girls who
were "kicked out" of their rooms in
order to make room for male
inhabitants would be able to have
first choice among any available
rooms on campus.
"The decision will not be made
tonight," said Flynn "the Area
Administrators and the Chancellor
will have to make the final
decision."

Chief of Campus Police James
W. Ingold was admitted to Moses
Cone Memorial Hospital for
treatment of kidney failure on
Monday. January 30. This marks

weeks. He was originally admitted
due to heart failure.

Chancellor James Ferguson said
that the up-coming changes will
serve to "unify a lot of activities
that have been somewhat
fragmented by virtue of being
scattered." The Chancellor blamed
inflation and a delay in acquiring
the land as the main reasons for
coming up short on funds for the
completion of the building. "Only
by implication could we expect that
money would be forthcoming," he
said.
Referring to the funds for the first
floor, which were approved almost
2'/2 years after the completion of the
second and third floors, Chancelllor
Ferguson said, "We are elated
about getting the $400,000."

Nappy Wins Approval
BY J.E. KRAEMER
Staff Writer
Until Tuesday Napolean Aroo
Culler, a UNC-G campus resident
and owner of a validated ID had
been in danger of being evicted from
his place of residence at Hinshaw
Hall.
Napolean (Nappy to his friends)
doesn't live in the dorm; he lives
behind it in a shag-carpeted dog
house, for Nappy is, in fact, a dog,
half German Sheperd and half sheep
dog.
Nappy has been living in back of
Hinshaw since the beginning of last
semester when his owner, Chip
Culler, a resident of Hinshaw,
began his third semester at UNC-G.
He will continue to reside in the area
at least until the end of this
semester.
Shirley Flynn, Dean of Students
for Residence Life, decision to per-mit
the dog to remain on campus
was a result of Chip Culler's efforts
along with a twelve page petition
containing approximately 370
signatures and Nappy's own mark
of approval, all urging the con-tinuance
of Nappy's stay at UNC-G.
Chip Culler seems to feel that
there is no reason why Nappy
should not remain an inhabitant and
stay on the UNC-G campus.
"I looked up the school
regulations on keeping pets in the
Sharing, Caring, Living Guide, a
book of regulations applying to
dorm students," Chip remarked.
"It said pets could not be kept in the
dormitories, but it said nothing
about pets remaining outside of the
dorms or in the classroom buildings
for that matter."
"I haven't received any direct
complaints about him," he con-tinued,
"and Dean Flynn indicated
that there would be no pressure con-cerning
the situation this semester."
Chip did not start collecting
signatures for the petition until
Sunday after he had been informed
the previous Thursday that he
would be put out of his dorm if the
dog was not gone by the following
Sunday. All day Saturday was spent
looking for a good home for Nappy,
and when Chip was unsuccessful
in his attempt, the idea of the
petition arose. He and Jeff Erwin,
his roommate, began distributing
the petitions at 12:00pm Sunday,
and both declared that they did not
receive any refusals from students
when asked to sign the petition.
Chip spoke to Dean Flynn the
following Tuesday, concerning
Nappy's remaining outside of Hin-shaw
Hall for the rest of the spring
semester. To support his stand.
Chip showed the Dean (he petitions,
messages hereceivedconcerning their
progress. Nappy's validated ID for
the spring semester, and over
$200.00 which Chip and Gwyn
Gatlin, another UNC-G student and
original owner of the dog, paid for
the benefit of Nappy's health. Dean
Flynn was amazed at the number of
signatures and Chip explained lhai
Nappy was "aimiable" and "had a
lot of friends."
Dean Flynn's main argument
against Nappy's continuance as a
UNC-G campus resident concerned
the possibility of all of the students
deciding to keep dogs on campus.
"Then next year something
should be in the student handbook
about it," was Chip's reply.
Chip Culler plans to attend UNC-G
next year and he declares that if
Nappy's residence at UNC-G is
threatened, he will bring the issue lo
Resident's Court.
As for Nappy's feelings towards
residence life. Chip feels thai
"living on a college campus has
made (he dog's personality very hap-py-
go-lucky."
