St. Mary's University has
employed the firm of Ford,
Powell and Carson, Landscape
Architects, to design the Uni-
versity Quadrangle area. This
has been a particular concern
of the University for several
years. Our President, Father
Young, has successfully at-
tracted a donor, who has simi-
lar interest in seeing that the
Quadrangle be turned into a
meaningful area for students
and others at the University.
On December 11, at 2
p.m., CEC Auditorium there
will be a general meeting
(open) of students, faculty,
staff and alumni to give their

Myra Stafford Pryor Chair of
Free Enterprise. Approxi-
mately 800 persons heard Mr.

The theme of the retreat will
concern Christian Love and

I-
from 2-6:30 a.m.
Many residents contend they
get a slow response from
security when they lodge
complaints.
The meeting brought forth
several suggestions for im-
proving security at the CEC.
Fencing off the areas in which
most of the incidents occur,
increasing the number of night
clerks, making sure certain
access doors are locked, and
installing a lighting system
behind the dorm were the
most popular ideas.
Bro. Sharpe said the problem
would be looked into and
action would be taken based
on his investigation, but that it
may take some time.
The CEC is not the only dorm
with a security problem but its
location and construction
make it more susceptible than
others.

The paintings hang-
ing in the first floor of
Administration are the
work of Brother Louis A.
Schuster, Piper Professor
of English on the St.
Mary's faculty.
All the watercolors
were painted on location.
Schuster is not a studio
painter. He prefers to sit
on a curbstone in the
middle of things and try to
capture the immediacy of
experience and intensity
of color.
The paintings will
hang until December 16.
All profits accruing are al-
located to a special scho-
larship fund for St. Mary's
University students.
A CEC Dorm Council was
held Monday with Bro. Dan
Sharpe, student services
supervisor. The meeting focus-
ed on a long neglected
problem, adequate security at
the CEC.
Maria Lopez, acting dean of
“ student, and Velda Villarreal,
, dorm coordinator, along with a
■ group of residents confronted
Bro. Sharpe with cases of
prowlers lurking at the back of
P the dorm where there is no
lighting, a few break-in
M attempts and burglaries indi-
’ eating a lack of security.
The residents said there has
been a problem for about
three years. Complaints to
administrators have not
brought about a resolvement
of the inadequacy of security.
Present security consists of
two men at 10:30 p.m. to 2
a.m. and a one man patrol
input as to ideas and functions
they would like for this area to
support. Representatives
from the firm will be coordi-
nating the meeting along with
Wayne E. Lemoine, Vice Presi-
dent for Financial Administra-
tion. This first meeting will be
used as the input for the basic
site plan. The University ex-
pects the site plan to be com-
pleted by February 1, 1979.
After that date implementa-
tion of the plan is anticipated
in a way that will allow the
University's funds to stretch
as far as possible and have the
project completed within a
reasonable time.
