MSC improvements
include new carpet
by Terry Duran
Battalion Staff
There are new things under
foot at the Memorial Student
Center.
About 3,200 square yards of
new carpet were installed dur
ing the last two weeks at various
places in the MSC. University
Center Manager Bill Hensel said
the renovation, which cost more
than $48,000, is the first com
prehensive renovation since the
MSC was opened in 1974.
New carpet was laid on the
hallway ramps outside the
cafeteria, second floor hallways
and lounge, in the Metzger-
Sanders gun collection room
and in hallways of the guest
wing.
MSC maintenance opera
tions are funded in large part by
fees charged students — $ 10 per
regular semester and $5 per
summer session.
Hensel said he hopes recent
work by physical plant person
nel on the MSC roof has solved a
recurrent problem with leaks.
Hensel said the new carpeting
was only the first phase of an
ongoing effort to refurbish the
University Center, which in
cludes the Memorial Student
Center and the Rudder Tower
complex. Previously, he said,
only spot work and routine re
pair and replacement had been
done.
Hensel said he hopes to begin
work on replacing carpet in
Rudder Tower before the end
of the summer, but said work
has to proceed slowly for two
reasons: administrative proce
dures and piecemeal work.
“We can’t just pull a whole
area out of use to replace stuff
when students are here,” he
said. “It has to be scheduled in a
light usage time — and summer
Community Ed
registration today
session is no longer a light use
time. So we have to do it little by
little, or between semesters, dur
ing Christmas break, and so on.”
In other work planned for the
University Center, MSC dire
ctor James R. Reynolds said
funds have been set aside for ex
panding the box office facilities
in Rudder Tower, which come
under the supervision of the
MSC staff.
Reynolds said three new win
dows would be added on the east
side of the existing box office.
“About 300,000 tickets a year
go through the box office,” he
said. “There’s just not enough
storage space in the current faci
lities, and tickets have to sit out,
which can be a security
problem.”
Reynolds said a computer sys
tem is also due to be installed for
use by the Student Finance
Office, which previously has
done its accounting by hand.
Registration for College Sta
tion Community Education
programs will be conducted
tonight at 7 p.m. for College Sta
tion residents and 8 p.m. for
other area residents in the A&M
Consolidated High School
cafeteria.
Late registration will be held
Wednesday and Thursday from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Commun
ity Education office on Timber
Street.
Courses for adults and chil
dren will be offered in technical,
vocational and office skills;
music and dance; arts and crafts
and fitness and recreation.
Some of the classes offered
will be in typing, accounting,
photography, computer prog
raming, belly dancing, ballet,
country and western dancing,
watercolor painting, tumbling
and tennis.
Classes in English as a second
language are also offered for
children and adults.
Most of the courses run for
eight weeks and cost less than
$15.
Courses begin the week of
June 7.
