Hockey fight case
will be reviewed

The Intramural Council Board of
Commissioners' decision in a street hock­
ey fight that occurred last month will be
reviewed by an "impartial group", ac­
cording to Dean of Students William Baggett.
Following an appeal by Sigma Nu
fraternity president Tony Banguilan, Baggett asked Intramural Coordinator Frank
Jernigan to form an "impartial group to
review the hearing that levied the punish­
ments, to see if there were any discrepan­
cies, lack of evidence or lack of change."
"If problems are found in the
decision, I would ask that the Board of
Commissioners reconsider the whole
thing," said Baggett.
Sigma Nu's appeal is based on the
premise that "they let th" wrong group
hear the case," according to Banguilan.
The Board of Commissioners, as
stated in the Intramural constitution, is set
up to hear cases of protests and should in­
clude a five-member body - the president,
vice-president, secretary, a Student
Government representative and a studentat-large. The case is not in the form of a
protest and no SG A or student-at-large rep­
resentative was present at the hearing.
The fight, which involved Sigma Nu
and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternities earlier last
month, will also be heard in a DeKalb
County Courthouse. Dekalb has filed a
criminal charge suit against Pike's Dennis
Baus, according to Sigma Nu's Danny

GSU recruits Underground
By Chuck Hamby

The hugely successful opening of
Underground Atlanta has proven to be
a windfall for merchants, but Georgia
State University officials believe that
the university will also reap the benefits
provided by our newest neighbor.
Although it is too early to tell,
recruiting is expected to get a boost
from a revitalized downtown area. Ac­
cording to Jane Harlin, Admissions
Counselor at GSU, underground will
not be forgotten.
"We have always stressed the cul­
ture and diveristy of downtown, " said
Harlin. "I'm sure that we will mention
Underground to our recruits.'
Underground will also give stu­
dents an area to visit between classes,
grab a bite of lunch or run a few errands.
Several students were ecstatic over the
new choices of lunch spots.
"This has to be good for the school
and the city," said Richard Greene, a

Dean of Students William Baggett
decided to "continue with experience" as
he appointed Roy Lee the new Director of
the University Center late last week.
Lee, who has been the interim director
since Alice Young left the position last
year, has "really got things going in the
University Center," said Baggett.
"In reviewing what he has done and
in talking with people who have worked
directly with him in the University Center,
I feel really good about his appointment,"
said Baggett. "I didn't see the need for a
search."
Lee has chaired the Committee on
Space Allocation for the past year and he
will also continue to serve as the assistant
Dean of Students at Georgia State.
"I'm really looking forward to it,"
said Lee. "There's a lot of things that need
to be done - clarifying paperwork, redirect­
ing channels, etc. The University Center
should be the hub of the campus - a gather­
ing place. Especiall; at Georgia State."
Lee's experience in directing a student
center comes from Tulane University,
where he was assistant Director of Student
Activities and in charge of the student cen­
ter.
"Hopefully, within five years, our
present student center will be phased out,"
said Lee. "We've already got a plan in
mind for the construction of a new Cen­
ter."
The construction of a new University
Center is the next priority on the
university's Planning and Development
Committee list. First on the committee's
agenda was the asbestos removal in the
Business Administration Building and
then the Science Building. Both have al­
ready been funded, according to Lee.
The University Center, formely called
the Student Center, was built in 1964.
"It's been around a number of years,"
said Lee. "I'm sure it served its purpose
many years ago, but we're are atleast
50,000 square feet short of space."
