Hockey fight case will be reviewed
Hockey fight case will be reviewed By D.W. Pine Staff Writer 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 See HOCKEY, Page 4-A Lee named director of University Center By D.W.

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 See UNDER, Page 4-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."
