Addition ahead of schedule
The $1.4 million addition to Summerfield Hall continues to climb skyward, two weeks ahead of the construction crew's schedule, the dean of the School of Business said yesterday.
"We've been really fortunate that the weather hasn't shut them down yet," said John Tollison, the dean. The project is scheduled for completion between September 1983 and February 1984. Tollison said
Construction crews from the R.D. Anderson Co. yesterday tied reinforced steel bars and built concrete forms to prepare for the pouring of the second floor of the five-story addition.
Lawrence Murry, foreman for the job, said crews would "brush the snow off" and attempt to work on the winter. He said 10 to 12 men were building the expansion. THE NEW ADDITION will include a common area on the first floor with vending machines and a lounge for student relaxation and conversation.
As a cost reduction measure, the interior of the fourth floor of the 25,000-square-foot addition will not be finished. Tollison said it eventually would be used as a microbrewery because of projected teaching methods indicated a need for increased computer services.
The fifth floor will have three classrooms. The fifth floor will be finished and the fourth floor unfinished because there is a much greater need for classroom space than for offices, Tolfsen said. Also, having offices on the fourth floor and classrooms on the fifth floor will integrate better with the existing building, he said.

Faculty OK tenure panel selection plan
By DEBORAH BAER Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
The council earlier narrowly defeated a similar proposal.
Accusations and denials of bowing to administrative pressure preceded the Faculty Council's overwhelming acceptance yesterday of a compromise proposal for selecting members for the Committee on Promotion and Tenure.
James Seaver, chairman of the University Faculty Executive Committee, said, "It was a very good idea for us to improve our program in action. I don't know how they
Recently, administrators and past UCPT members have been calling for a change.
Council members called the amendment of faculty senate code a compromise between faculty and the administration in what some faculty members saw as a power struggle for control of the tenure process.
In the past, FaEx Ex selected faculty to serve on the committee, and the chancellor approved that list. Final approval is given by the Board of Regents.
For weeks, FaeEx had been trying to come up with a method of selecting committee members that would be more acceptable to the administration than the current method, but still acceptable to the faculty.
Ernest Angino, council chairman and FacEx member.
THE COUNCH had earlier rejected an amendment that said FacEx would provide the chancellor with twice the number of names needed to fill the position, and also defeated a proposal to give the chancellor one more name than needed.
THE AMENDMENT says that each year, FaxEx, "by virtue of delegation from the chancellor, shall prepare a list of nominees whose number shall not exceed twice the number of vacancies" on the committee.
"The chancellor would like to have a choice, is it what it boils down to," said
At that point, Charles Kahn, FacEx secretary, challenged the council to vote against amending the code. He had been criticized by members who supported the compromise proposals.
"This is a chancellor's committee." Kahn had said, explaining that Chancellor Gene A. Budig could at any time reject the suggestions made by FacEx and select committee members himself.
NO ONE FROM the council moved that the council take a final vote not to change the code. Kahn later said he expected the outcome that occurred.

administration will view what we did,
but probably favorably."
"I think people finally viewed that this really was the way," he said.
Several FacEx members denied bowing to administrative pressure.
ALTHOUGH MOST council members voted for the amendment, one who voted against it is unhappy with the decision.
Administrators have said they wanted Budig to appear as more than a "rubber stamp" in the committee appointment process so that he could defend tenure from possible legislative attacks.
Donald Marquis, council member,
said, "I think that the appointment
process of UCPT should be purely a
faculty project."
He said that if the chancellor were allowed to choose UCPT members, he could purposely form a committee that was biased against a faculty member up for promotion who had unpopular political views.
