VoL64 ApRil 6, 1979 G .RapaRcba'C . . . No.4 . Ro~.J=oR~, ViRginia Dr. Robert C. Gibson has resigned his position as Dean of Education. Otanges. PQ9Sible 'For Lucas· And Russell By Jan Samoriski . A co.llege task force for new facilities has voted to recommend to . the Board of Visitors and Dr. Donald Dedmon the fearing down of ·Russell Hall and the relocation of Lucas Hall; this recommendation is subject to change. The Student Government Association (S.G,.A.) and student senate, are not in support .of the recommendations. Recomme(ldatioris call for LUcas Hall to be moved from its present location between Muse and McConnell to a spot between Muse. and Taylor. Officials have not said how they plan to move the two-story structure. Russell Hall will be torn down under the tentative plans. The !>uilding was constructed as the second residence hall on . campus in 1928 before being removed from the college's land inventory and slated for demolition-in the early 1970s. Demand for ciassroom and office space resulted in the ' building being renovated in 1974 · and put back into use . ' c<:;Iiege officials are currentlY. looking into the · possibility of having a new academic building : built ·where Lucas now stands. The task force studied other possible locations for the new academic building, which included ~n area where the tenil.is ·courts now stand. The tennis- co,!fJ t location was .eliminated because of · the cost involved in replacing the courts and due to a noise factor involved in being near residence halls. The - Lucas site is more centrally located. · In recommending the changes Dr. David Moore, Vice President for Academic Mfairs -and Chairman of the t~sk force, said he re·alized they were requesting more academic space than they have a reasonable hQpe of getting. -By asking for a large· amount of space, the college hopes to receive from the state permission to build what is considered to be adequate . . Renovations Needed Renovations will soon begin in Dr. Dedmon's new house, located on Hickory Hill Road . Approximately 15 years old, the house will require numerous alterations before Dr. Dedmon moves there this summer. These renovations will be funded from an Operating Fund and not from the December sale of the Radford College farm. Purchased on January 25 with funds from the sale of the · farm, the new house has approximately 3,000 square feet of living space as compared to Buchanan House , with 6,000 square feet. In addition, both houses have a two-car garage and an unfinished basement. A brick Colonial located near Belle Heth Elementary School, the house has a living room, dining roorri ; four bedrooms, a kitchen , three and a half baths, a utility room and a library/study.· The house also has an unfinished room over the garage which contains a small kitchenette , excluding utilities. Bad Cable Blamed A11 underground cable between Ingles and Russell hall shorted out Monday, leaving buildings south of Fairfax street without power for about an hour and a half. Power in Ingles and Russell was not restored till 6 p.m. . according to Dave Armstro(lg. Maintenance crews replaced the cable with a new one after isolating the problem. 6 Radford Students Injured In TWo ·Local Auto Accidents By Jan Samoriski Six Radford College students were injured in two separate car accidents over a one week period between March 28 and April 4t City Police reported.
