  • News jhAw^stmiC^olinian Page-2 Thursday, October 1,1987 Asbestos Removal Planned For UC In Spring ?86 By MARY ELLEN FLEMING News Editor In the Spring of 1988, the University Center will undertake a major project to remove the asbestos from the facility. The renovation is scheduled to take place from approximately April 1 through late August. Asbestos was sprayed to the superstructure of the building in the mid-to-late 60's as a fire preventative. Asbestos has recently been discovered to be a health hazard when microscopic, alrborn fibers are Inhaled over an extended period of time. Although the expected closure of the U.C. Is six months off, there Is no health hazard posed for the U.C. staff or the people who use their facilities; air samples taken at the U.C. do not exceed OSHA standards for asbestos content. It was recently determined that the heating and cooling system of the U.C. was beyond further repair and total replacement was required. To safely remove and replace the system, the asbestos must first be removed from the building. The cost of the removal of the asbestos is being carried solely by the U.C. through the revenues of student fees and funds generated internally. The state has allocated funds to support asbestos removal in state buildings, but the U.C.'s asbestos problem is not deemed severe enough to warrant state funded removal. Designers are currently working on the plans for the removal. Once drawn up, the plans will be presented for contractual open bidding. The contractor awarded the project will seal off the building, seal the floors and walls and remove all equipment, including the kitchen sinks. A ventilation system will draw clean air into the U.C. and expel contaminated air out, filtering It of the microscopic asbestos fibers. The asbestos will be sprayed with "amended water", a chemical solution used to minimize the fibers released into the air when the asbestos is scraped from the structure. The contaminated water and scraped asbestos will be hauled within 24 hours to a state approved landfill and buried beneath two feet of soil. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral; inert and nonflammable, its burial poses no environmental hazards It is as yet uncetain where the administrative offices , organizations and services located In the U.C. will relocate during the proceedure. Most organizations are expected to operate normally Noted Columnist Alan Brownfield Lecturing Here This Week Nationally syndicated columnist and author Allan C.

He received his law degree from the Marshall-Wythe School of Law of the College of William and Mary and his master's degree in government and politics from the University of Maryland, where he also served as a member of the faculty. RECORD YEAR FOR WCU FUNDRAISING WCU completed another record year in private fund raising in 1986-87. the WCU Development Foundation board of directors was told Fri day. With receipts totaling $1,314,179 — an 8.4 percent increase over 1985-1986—a new high was set, according to James E. Dooley, vice chancellor for development and special services. The gains were possible because "alumni and friends continue to make them possible," WCU Chancellor Myron L. Coulter told the board. SAMS Throughout the 1987-88 school year, and especially in February- "Bust MS Month"- college students, in Students Against MS (SAMS), will be involved in a variety of fund- raising and educational activities geared toward increasing the public's awareness of multiple sclerosis, and establishing long-term fund-raising support for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. SAMS will kick-off this year of fund-raising with "Skip-A-Meal for MS," a national one-day event wherein students skip a meal and the cost of that meal is donated to help fight MS.. While the real incentive is helping the. estimated quarter of a million Americans who have multiple sclerosis, the campus raising the most money at the end of the campaign will be featured in an on-campus program to be broadcast live on MTV. Recog- niton awards will also be given to other top fund raising campuses nationwide, hor The first time this year, SAMS will also present an award to the campus that conducts the best education program. A panel of judges will determine the winner based on the most effective awareness campaign. WCU organizations, fraternities, sororities, clubs or civic groups interested in finding out more about SAMS and how they can get involved can call 1-800-BUST- MS. .Continued From Front Page Stray Cats the past and that the Stray Cats program was "definately a good service offered by students for other students." The Stray Cats are currently recruiting 12- 15 volunteers, and the escort services are sceduled to begin this Sunday night. Regular service hours are Sunday throught Thrusday night from 8 PM until 12 or 1 AM. No services are provided on Friday or Saturday nights. .Continued From Front Page Meal Plan that the resolution be passed and referred to WCU administration for further action. Floor discussion of possible solutions, including manuals and maps for wheel chair-bound students was followed by a voice vote that passed the resolution. Senator Mark Weaver sponsored Resolution 1211, an act allowing students living on campus the option of buying the 10-meal plan at the cafeteria If certain conditions exist warranting the need for the option. A "friendly amendment" was allowed altering the resolution to offer the 10-meal plan regardless of warranting need. At present, students living In the dormitories are required to pur- cahse either a 15 or a 20-meal plan from the cafeteria. Commuter students are given the option of buying a 10-meal plan. Arguing that many students leave the area for the weekend, student teach, or prefer eating at local restaurants, the resolution would enable the on-campus residents the option to buy the 10- meal plan rather than forfeit the cost of the uneaten, pre-paid meals. Floor discussion of the resolution pointed out that the cafeteria services are contractual and prices might rise if the 10-meal plan became available to all students. It was suggested that if the cafeteria food quality were comparable to local restaurants, the need for the resolution would be minimized and that the students, not the university, should decide where and how often students sot The resolution was referred to the University Services Committee, chaired by Senator Day, for further study and recommendations.
