Engineering, the work will be finished by

Watts said that the city is "killing two
birds with one stone" by widening the
intersection and replacing utilities at the
same time. "They wan ted to do it this
way so that the area wouldn't have to be
torn up twice ," Watts said.
"We're widening the intersection so
that turning lanes can be put in for
Warnock Ave.," Watts said, "We're also
going to install traffic lights there."
"At the same time we're putting in
new sanitary storm sewers , gas, and water
tines. We normally do this so that every­thing
won't have to be replaced for

When asked about specific problems
relating to the construction, Watts said,

west from Floyd St. to Brook St. Floyd
St. has been made one-way north from
Warnock Ave. to Avery St.

the signs we've put over there," Watts
said.

contract by the city to do the work. Dave
Arnold, an estimator for Ruby Construc­tion
Co., said that it is an Urban Renewal

much money has actually been spent,
Arnold said, "Too much."
"We're running a little bit late because
of a strike we had ," Arnold said, "but we
applied for a 34 day extension, which has
been approved. We'll be done by Decem­ber
16."

Senate chooses Adcock
as Free U director
by Janet Ulrich
The Student Senate selected a new
director of the Free University at their
meeting Thursday, November 4. Robert
Adcock, a graduate student in the School
of Education, was elected by the senate.
Other applicants were freshman, Sherry
Baker, and junior, Emilie Pinto.
The Free U has been without an acting
director ever since Rana Pennington's
resignation early in October. Tim Barry,
services vice president of the SGA, acted
as interim advisor until the senate could
decide on a new director.
Following the election of Adcock by
secret ballot, Barry said, "I think he's
more than qualified for the job. Even
though the position for the director has
been decided, I hope that Ms. Baker and
Ms. Pinto will help in the program is
they're still interested."
Pennington said, "From having talked
with all of the candidates, I think Robert
Adcock was the best choice. I didn't
think so at first, but he has a real feeling
for education. I think he'll be an asset to
4u-Lt e program. n
After the election of the Free U
director, Joe Pardue, president of the
University College Student Council, aired
his complaints concerning the problems
of the UC students with student services.
"We're totally ignored around here," Par­due
said. ''When the majority of the UC
students get on campus, the admissions
office is closed, the bu!sar's office is
closed, just about everything around here
is closed. We just barely get a chance to
use the bookstore."
He ·also said, ''We need to establish
some facilities primarily for UC students
over in Davidson Hall."

Dr. Edward Hammond, vice president
for student affaits, suggested that instead
of building new facilities, new hours
could be established for university of­fices.
"I certainly can see your problem
but asking for new facilities in Davidson,
or anywhere else, means new building
structures, additiollal staff, and so on,"
Hammond said. uHopefully, we can solve
the problem by getting a commitment
from the offices, asking them to keep
later hours. Another thing, within the
