The State Coordinating Board
unanimously approved two items for
Lamar in a meeting of the board held
Friday in Austin, university president
Dr. C. Robert Kemble said.
The items, previously approved by
the Lamar Board of Regents, include
the building plan for the John E. Gray
Institute and a package encompass-
ing traffic circulation and parking,
pedestrian traffic, utility relocation,
and campus landscaping, Kemble
said.
“The coordinating board gave
Lamar a good reception, and the con-
cept of the institute was warmly
received,” he said.
Kemble said Harvey Weil, coor-
dinating board member, made a mo-
tion for approval of the plan for the in-
stitute and reported that members of
the coordinating board on the
Facilities Planning Committee, after
discussion on Thursday, had asked
Weil to read into the minutes his com-
ments in regard to the institute and its
building which were:
—That the coordinating board ad-
mired and appreciated the vision of
the people who have been in on the
project;
—That they thought especially.
noteworthy the bringing together of
labor, business and industry in a way
that had not been done in this state;
—That the coordinating board
thought it especially appropriate that
the building be named for John Gray,
the first chairman of the coordinating
board and a man who has made many
contributions to the state of Texas.
The building plan for the institute
includes a sum of $4.79 million for the
building itself, and an approximate
total sum of $7 million, which includes
fees, administrative costs, basic site
development, furniture, special
equipment, landscaping and addi-
tional parking, Kemble said.
The site for the new facility will be
of proper size and shape to accom-
modate initial requirements and
possible future expansion, he said.
Design concepts identified by the
architects as goals for the physical
facilities of the institute include:
—A relatively simple form or series
of forms.
—A simple organization of the
separate components of the institute,
providing adaptability, versatility
and flexibility.
—A visual identify, but not unsym-
pathetic to the architectural
character and materials of the Lamar
campus.
—A developed environment which
will place the facility in a pleasantly
landscaped area with courtyards and
controlled vistas, thus providing the
proper atmosphere for the activities
of tiie institute.
The institute will be given as a gift
to the state, Kemble said, but the
state will be asked to pick up
maintenance and utility costs of the
institute.
“Six million dollars of a $7 million
goal has been reached”, he said. “The
Gray Institute Foundation is confi-
dent that the remaining sum will be
raised.”
The item encompassing traffic cir-
culation and parking, utility reloca-
tion and landscaping was approved
without comment—not even a ques-
tion, he said.
Kemble said that the presentation
of these items as a package was an
unusual procedure, but by doing so,
Lamar could decide how much money
to allocate to each item.
“We can apply local judgement to
allocation of state money,” he said.
The package totals $1.5 million in
expenditures. This figure includes
payment for parking, paving, parking
for Beeson Technical Arts, concrete
walks, covered walkways and land-
scaping.

Chisholm: Americans face changing patterns
By RENITA JOHNSON
UP Editor
“If we are going to move ahead, we
can no longer sweep the problems
under the proverbial rug. It can no
L longer be that way,” U.S. Rep.
K? Shirley Chisholm, D-N.Y., said Mon-
I" day night.
Speaking on “Changing Patterns in
an Era of Risk,” Chisholm appeared
before 350 Lamar University students
IA and members of the community in the
■'V Setzer Student Center Ballroom.
Chisholm, the first black woman
, elected to Congress, said that
I America was facing" a different kind
j of perspective that affects everyone,
| but that we must never be afraid to
|s face the truth, and to speak of things
H that need to be spoken about.
When speaking of changing pat-
terns, Chisholm said that former
president Jimmy Carter, whom she
^ said she knew very well, could not
cope with problems facing him, but
that he was a decent human being.
| She said that although a large
IS number of Americans voted for
ll Reagan, the votes represented feel-
Bings of anti-Carter more than pro-
Jk Reagan.

president had a mandate. The
popular vote did not make the dif-
ference, only the electoral vote. Only
50 percent of the people registered to
vote went to the polls. Twenty-nine
percent voted for Reagan,” she said.
Chisholm said that those who voted
for Reagan did so because they did
not want Carter; they thought
Reagan would get the country on an
even keel, and they believed that
Reagan would take care of the
citizens dependent on the federal
dole—put people back in their places.
“I’m not sure there is any good
news unless you count the fact that a
whole lot of Democrats have not of-
ficially joined the Republican party,”
she said.
“Congress gave Reagan the first
victory. Each congressional commit-
tee with programs was instructed to
cut to meet the reconciliation target
of $37 billion.
“The reality is that there were cer-
tain groups in America who could not
enjoy the fruit of broad programs,
broad guidelines, so that this land of
the free and the brave would show by
deed and action that we would make
up some things denied.”
Chisholm said that America is now
"...In the end we will be
reacting, which is what we
always do."

in an orgy of budget cutting, including
public service employment, child
nutrition and college loans.
“Americans lament and cry, but do
not get excited. In the end, we will be
reacting, which is what we always
do.” she said.
“I’ve been tempted to throw up my
hands and let them wreck the coun-
try. I’ve never believed in a silence to
condone. It means that you’ve given
tacit approval. Somebody has to cry
out when the ax is swung,” she said.
The Black Caucus, Chisholm said,
fought hard for budget alternatives
because it accepted Reagan’s
challenge.
The budget proposed by the Black
Caucus would have funded social pro-
grams, increased defense spending
and provided $8 billion in surplus for
the next fiscal year, she said.
“We were the first group to pick up
the challenge, but no one could
believe that 18 blacks had come up
with a plan to help America,” she
said.
Chisholm said the plan was
defeated 360 to 69 on the House floor,
but it represented a victory because it
showed that the spirit of "the Caucus
was not dead.
The tax cuts, Chisholm Said, will be
taken back from Americans because
when the CETA program was
eliminated, along with other social
programs, there was nowhere for the
people on those programs to go but
back to public assistance.
“There is talk in Congress that we
have got to come back and ask for tax
cuts taken from you. Common sense
would tell you that it would inevitably
happen,” she said.
“Programs did not exist until deep
social ills were addressed by the
federal government. History has
shown it to be an iceberg of indif-
ference,” she said.
“No one is going to end abuse by
cutting programs which have an im-
pact on individual lives. Poor people
are so used to being poor that they
will move along anyway.”
Changes to occur in registration
By LARRY JAKOBEIT
of the UP staff
Changes have been made in early
registration for Spring 1982, Elmer
Rode, dean of admissions and
registrar, said.
It will begin Monday, Nov. 9, and
continue through Friday, Nov. 20.
Class schedules will be available
Friday, Nov. 6.
“This new registration procedure
will be a great advantage for the
students,” Rode said.
He said those who go through early
registration will not have to come
back to campus until the first class
day.
Students who were enrolled in the
fall of 1981 will report to their major
department counseling center for ad-
visement.
In cases involving a change of ma-
jor or lost registration forms, a cross-
reference computer printout, provid-
ed to each dean’s office, will help the
student find his registration form.
Forms for students who advise only
but do not pre-register should be re-
tained by the adviser until regular
registration, Rode said.
Students then report to the head of
the department offering the courses
in which they plan to enroll.
For each class and lab a student
plans to take, a section label must be
obtained.
After collecting all class labels, the
student reports to the registration sta-
tion in the lobby of the Wimberly Stu-
dent Affairs Building where his
schedule is entered on the computer.
Here the student receives a class
schedule fee statement.
“Students have three options for
payment of fees,” Rode said.
Students can pay fees during early
registration or they can defer pay-
ment until Monday, Jan. 4.
The registration office will hold the
student’s class schedule fee state-
ment as the basis for reserving their
classes.
Non-payment of fees by 6 p.m. on
Jan. 4 wifi cause the student to forfeit
the registration.
Those paying by financial aid or
scholarship should report to 216
Wimberly Student Affairs Building
with the fee statement.
The financial aid office will review
the student’s status and advise him
when to pay fees.
Early registration for students tak-
ing evening classes will be Monday,
Nov. 16, and Tuesday, Nov. 17.
Chisholm predicts that by
Christmas Americans will see
something never seen before. She
Shirley Chisholm
said that people who voted in tremen-
dous numbers will feel betrayed
because the quality of life of all
Americans is being affected.
As 52 American hostages were held
hostage in Iran, Chisholm said, many
people in America were hostages of
poverty and disillusionment.
She said that Reagan is a charming
man, but that cutbacks will not
achieve the good desired.
Cutbacks will not reduce crime, in-
crease respect for law, or promote
better family life, she said.
“An administration will be tested or
measured by those who are able to
serve in dawn (babies), and shadows
of their lives (handicapped), and the
twilight of their lives (senior
citizens),” she said.
Chisholm said that people should
stand up and speak out because they
are doing what they do because it’s
the right thing to do, even if others do
not understand.
“We’d better start preparing care
packets for the children of America.”
Saying that nobody handles her
because she does not belong to any
machine, Chisholm said that the time
has come to speak up and mobilize on
the local level.
Chisholm closed her speech in
prayer:
“Dear God, look down on all of us.
Give us the ability to see and know
that all of us are in the same boat.”
Drive nets 374 pints
in week-long effort
The blood drive for fall 1981 has
netted 374 pints, just 26 short of the
Blood Drive Committee’s goal of
400, Jacque Placette, director of
student organizations and commit-
tee adviser, said Monday.
Calling the drive “outstanding,”
Placette said the committee was
satisfied with the results of the
week-long effort.
“This amount exceeds last
year’s amount by a large percen-
tage,” she said. “I attribute the
success of the blood drive to a
diverse, hard-working student
committee.”
The pints of blood will be
donated to the Blood Center of
Southeast Texas, which supplies 18
area hospitals that require approx-
imately 1,800 pints of blood each
month.
Three organizations whose
members contributed the most
blood were recipients of a trophy
that will rotate among them this
semester, Placette said.
Alpha Phi Omega service frater-
nity was the winner in the student
organization division, she said.
Winners in the fraternity and
sorority divisions were Sigma Chi
and Gamma Phi Beta, respective-
ly.
