Hawklet's closing causes Summerfield space pinch
By JAY BEMIS Staff Writer
The closing of the Hawkett cafeteria in Summerfield Hall last summer hasn't created any new problems, students say, but it hasn't solved any old ones either.
However, the new reading room is smaller in square footage and seating space than the old one.
The Hawklet was closed because the area it occupied was needed for a new computer.
Christine Leonard, Summerfield librarian, said yesterday the old reading room measured 1,000 square feet, but the new room occupied 600 square feet.
Leonard said she also was told that half of the old reading room would be used for adding more books.
"The way the figures were quoted to me (last summer)," she said, "this one (new room) was to be larger. After I'd been in bed, I found out that the figures had been revered."
"That way we would've gained space," she said, "but it has not happened. The old reading) room uplists isn't even full, but maybe they don't have tables and chairs for it. It looks like there would be room for only 25 or 30 seats anaway."
"But materials can only be checked out for two hours, so they students can't go out."
THE PRESENT reading room has 25 "reader stations," Leonard said, and 200 to 300 items are checked out daily. Some of the books are purchased that always use the reading room, she said.
When the Hawklet and the old reading room were in operation, Leonard said, students would check out materials and go to the library for their homework and ease congestion in the reading room.
As part of a compromise when the Hawklet was closed last summer, administrators and representatives of the computer center and military science to move some of the Hawklet's vending machines into a military science annex building.
The annex building, about 100 yards north of Summerfield, could be used as a student lounge, and a concessions and study area, they said.
Students interviewed in the annex
studied how they wished the Hawklet was
its operation.
"This (amex) doesn't have the same services available as the other place," Jim told us.
THE ANNEX doesn't have as many tables and chairs as the Hawklet did, he said, and since people are always coming in with things they need to use the area until others have left.
"Most people who used the Hawklet were in the School of Business and the Hawklet was a girl. I loved her."
When students came back to school last fall, he said, they didn't even know of the teacher.
"It was kind of a anneaky deal, moving the it-waited in the summer when most students were out."
MIKE RICHARDSON, Salina special
saint, said the annex was "the same as
the first."
"This (anxin) is out of the mainstream," he said. "Not too many students come up here."
"The Hawklet was a good place to meet with students who were having problems. It also was good for job interviews, because people who did have jobs liked to speak to others. But now there's no casual place to grab a cup of coffee."
Leonard said most comments she heard from students weren't formal complaints.
"People will come in, look around, find out there's nowhere to sit and get disgusted," she said. "Most of them will ask, are you going to met more space?"
LEONARD SAID she also had noticed that there was a problem because no coffee was available.
"Sometimes there are more requests for coffee than there are for space."
Leonard allows students to eat and drink in the new reading room, as long as they
"If it starts getting trashy, I'm not going to be a maid," she said.
The dean and the associate dean of the School of Business, Leonard said, are the only ones who would be able to get more space for the reading room.
"It tell them on occasion that I need more space and they know that," she said. "There really isn't any space in Sumter." It be the one to find out about more space."
The new computer center, to be about 100
riders east of Rocky Gymnasium, should
be located at the end of the track.
LEONARD SAID she didn't know whether the reading room would be moved back to its old quarters when the computer center was completed.
"I have asked," she said, "but it's too far away and I couldn't get any answers."
