The Endowment Association has raised $1,000 from private donors that is going toward the renovations of the Chapel.
Scarffie said Endowment Association officials were in the beginning stages of receiving donations. They would make a bigger push for donations in the next months.
Renovations will include several projects on the chapel's exterior including replacing the cracking stones around the chapel's north window and a complete re-roofing, said Don Whipple, consultant services manager for Design and Construction Management.
Plans also call for an expansion on the backside of the chapel, which will replace the chapel's small bathroom with a handicap-accessible bathroom, he said.
The 2005 senior class pledged $6,000 for landscaping around the Chapel as its senior gift. It has currently donated $5,000.
The current bathroom was the smallest one on campus, he said.
Any additional money donated beyond the $6,000 pledge will extend the landscaping project.
The nondemoninational chapel, named after William Danforn, was dedicated in 1946.
The chapel is perfect for small weddings and graduations. Dunavin said.
Religious organizations and fraternities and sororities often use the chapel for events, she said.

beer bongs, in housing facilities.
Stoner said beer bongs were not a problem in residence halls but there was not a policy that clearly outlawed paraphernula before the change.
Kayla Bennett, Lawrence sophomore and Hashinger resident, said she understood the policy changes but said it would not change alcohol consumption in the residence halls.
Bennett said many residents drank before they went out because they were not old enough to drink at bars and clubs.
"It happens every weekend," she said. "I see it more than one time a weekend in many different rooms."
It has been two to three years since student housing made a change to its alcohol policy. Stoner said. The last change permitted empty alcohol containers for decorative purposes in the residence halls with the consent of the complex director.
"We realize everyone doesn't read the handbook when it comes out," Stoner said. "If we see it though, we'll ask about it."

"You hear that students think that a lot." Moore said.
an important part of their future, Moore said. He said many students did not have confidence in the future of Social Security benefits.
But Social Security ensures a stable future for young people, said John Garlinger, Social Security Administration Regional Communications Director.
Garlinger said one of every three Social Security beneficiaries were not retirees. Social Security also benefits disabled people and children without parents, he said.
Changing demographics will soon stress social security, Garlinger said. People are living longer, having fewer children, and the baby boomer generation will start retiring soon, he said.

This means that the cost of Social Security will increasingly fall on a younger, smaller population of Americans.
Moore
Since Congress passed legislation that allowed the government to spend parts of the Social Security Trust Fund,
Moore said he was concerned there might not be enough money in the future to pay out Social Security benefits.
To remedy this situation, Moore introduced a bill to Congress in February called the Social Security Truth in Budgeting Act of 2005. This bill would remove Social Security funds from the federal budget and ensure that Social Security funds were spent only for their intended purpose and not for new spending or new tax cuts.
Moore said his bill would not completely correct problems with Social Security, but it was a step in the right direction.
While Moore voiced his concerns and ideas, he said the focus of his seminar was to encourage discussion and debate, not to push his own views.
That is why Moore was discouraged that there weren't more young people at the seminar.
"It's typical of young people to focus on the now and never think of being old and needing Social Security." Moore said. "But it should be there for them. We need to make sure that Social Security is not a failure for future generations."
