West Volusia County's Cultural
Arts Center, the first full-fledged
center for the area, has signed a
lease to develop a new center on
Stetson's campus, according to.
Public Relations sources.
Stetson has agreed to make
available a portion of the campus,
approximately two acres, west of-
Woodland Boulevard as a site for the
new center, said Pat West, chairman of the CAC Board of Trustees. .
CAC board members approached
the university with the idea after
Stetson officials shared with the
public the preliminary conceptual
drawings for a long range campus
plan. The initial study suggested
relocating undergraduate academic
program buildings, currently west
of Woodland Boulevard, to an area
in the central core of the campus. It
was also suggested that a study be
made of alternate uses for the
property west of the boulevard.
"The opportunity for the Cultural
Arte Center was obvious," said
Frank Ford, vice chairman for the_
Rezoning approved

University was approved last

the DeLand campus.

CAC development council. "Stetson
University has always been a
primary center of cultural activity
in Volusia county, and its faculty
and staff have provided an important volunteer resource for cultural
organisations such as the museums,
theater, the Cultural Arts Center

Boulevard between West University
and West Pennsylvania Avenues,
currently houses the university's
ROTC building, the West University
Apartments and the Richard Martin
house. Also included is the site of the
former panhellenie building, demolished last spring.

SGA proposes coin machines
By BETH CAMPBELL
Staff Writer
This week- the Student Government Association reported on
change machines and propsed a
system of teacher evaluation. In the
absence of Vice President Chan
Martin, President Pro Tempore
David Bricker conducted the Nov.17
meeting.
The Housing Committee stated
that there were no difficulties in
obtaining change machines for the
residence halls. Currently the only
change machine on campus is the
notoriously fickle one in the Alley.
The Housing Committee also
investigated the ventilation problem
in Carson-Hollis Hall. The problems
were found to be caused by
disconnected ventilation duets. The
company responsible for their installation is supposedly going to
repair them before the end of the
to create a teacher
system for Stetson. Its
goal would be to increase
faculty's awareness off
Senator Coco .Lopez proposed a
involved a bill ap-
by the Selections/Elections
s to create a Person of the
Month award. The SGA passed the
bill. Students- and professors would
be eligible for the award, with
nominations being given by the SGA.
