Relocation causes concern among Marvin students
BY GRANT OVERSTAKE Staff Reporter
Saying that nothing could be gained by negative actions or threats, Charles Kahn, of the School of Architecture and University architecture students should unify themselves and take their complaints about the upfront cost of building their students directly to the University administration.
About 150 architecture students gathered at Hoch Audienster where Kaplan said he was helping to recruit new officials in the administration working on the relication project so students could
"Until this approach has proved to be non-productive, that is the way we ought to do it," Kahn said.
STUDENTS WITH complaints or questions regarding the relocation should talk with their student representative, he said.
Kahn said that two sites were being considered for relocation which would be large enough to house all of the school's students.
"There are two problems standing in our hands. There is the other, the other is a non-money problem that deals with another group who is willing to sacrifice the space for a year or more."
Kahn would not say where the two locations were, but when asked whether the new Malett addition was a possible site, he told me that something you'll have to speculate on.
Kahn said it was important that the school be out of Marvin by May 15.
"It's critical that we vacate immediately at the end of the spring term," he said. "If we can do this, we can be back in Marvin in August—or in one academic year."
But Kahn also said Facilities and Plan-
ing will be completed beginning
up until Oct. 1. If the construction is
delayed, Kahn said he favored staying
in Marvin until Jan. 1, 1981 or until May 18
"But with inflation on construction run-
ning at about one and a half percent per
year, we would be better off than the
cost of delay would be enormous I
enormally avoid the inavailability of the Oct.
1 date," he said.
A SLIE PRESENTATION of the preliminary plans for the Marvin renovation was shown. Although the project don't call for any additional space, it will make the current space more livable, Kahn said. It would be impossible to increase the size of the building because of two-foot thick bearing walls in the building, he said.
"And that kooky clock that has been in the room, and that's where the building forever will finally come down. Kahn said to a choir of laughter. "We're sending it g gifted to the vice chan."
Kahn said that because the project would not solve the space problem at the school, the second-year design classes would be annexed after the renovation.
"We had to make a decision," he said.
We decided that it was either the second-year design classes or the graduate students. We decided that it would be the graduate students to stay in the building. We figure that the second-year students could be given another rest of their time in the renovated building.
THE ACADEMIC standards of the school during the relocation will be determined by the quality of the relocation site, Kahn said.
"If the University doesn't come up with a reasonable space, we'll have difficulty keeping the quality up. We can get more of it by increasing commitment to the University," he said.
After the assembly, John Shell, St. Louis fifth-year architecture student, said the
major problem of the releocation was a lack of understanding of all possible sites.
Shell, who has been a student representative for two years on the school's in-house committee said he had received several letters from students regarding the relocation.
"A lot of people have complained, but I never said they had to hide anything," he said. "I just that in the back of the administrators' minds, there are ideas and they just haven't made up their own."
