Pictured, athletes Robbie Whipple, Jay Menzel, Dan Fedders, along with Coach Steve Lukens. Campus Briefs There is an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting every Tuesday evening at 5:15 in the Religion Seminar Room (Room 227). Anyone with a desire to stop drinking is welcome. Residence Halls will close for Spring Break at noon on Satur-day, March 30 and re-open at noon on Monday, April 8. Volunteers are needed in the following areas: tour guide, information specialist, case aide, telephone workers, office sitter, reader, shelter care home provider, feeders, recreation assistant, driver, public rela-tions assistant, and typist. For more information and opportunities, please call the Volunteer and Information Center at 334-6645. Request from Food Service: Please return the plastic glasses to the cafeteria or Huddle. We purchased these items this year in an effort to control paper costs and reduce the litter on campus. Since the school year began we have purchased well over 1000 of each glass and have less than 300 left. Quite ob-viously this is not something we can continue to do. These glasses are not to be removed from the dining rooms. Please, help us out. Two CPR classes are now be-ing held for all faculty, ad-ministration and support staff. The classes will be held on Mar. 18 and April 15 at 7 p.m. in the Gilbert Science Center, Room 121. Registration must be made before classes begin by calling 4424. Sioux Falls, South Dakota Volume 68, Number 20 March 14, 1985 Deadline: March 29 Mark Collins • editor Across from Bergsaker, bet-ween Gilbert Science Center and Bergsaker, or near the Morrison Commons are the three possible sites for Augustana's proposed Health, Physical Education, and Recreation building, according to Dr. Ken Kessinger. Kessinger is chairman of the college's physical education department and a member of the committee that will ultimately decide the location of the facility. Kessinger said that the com-mittee will make its final deci-sion on March 29 and forward it by mail to members of the Augustana Board of Regents the next day. The committee charged with the decision is made up of Vice- President Donald Scott, Athletic Director Virgil Sand-vig, Professor Carl Grupp, John Thomas of the Office of Development, Gene Marko, Director of Physical Plant, and Kessinger. The three sites all have their advantages, according to Don Scott, the committee chairman. "Having it across from Bergsaker will make for public accessability, convey a better image to the community, and allow for the association of out-door athletic fields," he said. The space between Bergsaker and Gilbert would "close the `ring' around the campus," he said. It would also place the faculty closer to Gilbert, which houses the PE department's division headquarters. The Commons location "would perhaps increase stu-dent use," said Scott, and "it would also serve to develop the heart of the campus." The cur-rent gymnasium would - be remodeled and built onto if this option were accepted. Another reason for building it on the main campus is money, Scott added. "Going across the street adds considerable cost," he said. Building across from Bergsaker would either require a separate system for heating or extending the tunnel system to the new building. The tunnels currently con-nect all buildings on campus to the central heating system of the college. See HPER, p. 5. Committee to decide HPER building location Legislature approves TEG funding — barely Mark Collins editor A bill doubling the amount of money available for tuition equalization grants passed the South Dakota Legislature by the closest possible margin. Lawmakers passed a new ver-sion of the Tuition Equalization Grant program, raising the maximim allocation from $100,000 to $200,000. The bill, SB 295, needed two-thirds approval in both houses of the legislature because it is an appropriations bill. F,orty-seven votes were needed in the House and 23 in the Senate. The TEG measure was pass-ed by the legislature as an amendment to another student aid bill allocating money for the State Student Incentive Grant Program, but only after a con-ference committee had scrutinized the bill. Originally, SB 295 called for $100,000 for SSIG grants, $200,000 for TEG grants, and $25,000 for grants to Indian students attending colleges, but the House and Senate could not agree on the bill, thus sending it to a conference committee. The committee was compos-ed of Senators Tim Johnson, D-Vermillion, Walt Bones, R-Parker, and George Shanard, R-Mitchell, and Represen-tatives Debra Anderson, R-Sioux Falls, Andrew Wiese, D-Flandreau, and Joseph Barnett, R-Aberdeen. The committee, as a com-promise, cut the allocation for Indian student grants, and changed the eligibility re-quirements for SSIG recipients. Forty-seven members of the House of Representatives,the minimum number necessary for passage, approved the bill while the Senate passed the bill with only two votes to spare, on a 25-8 vote. Governor Bill Janklow has not yet passed the bill, but has indicated that he intends to give his approval.
