      under

      facilities.
      The
      former
     
     
      Saint

      (S.D.U.)
      Coffee
      Shoppe,
     
     
      which
      seated
      160,
      was
      not
     
     
      capable
      of
      handling
      the
      de-
     
     
      mand
      which
      would
      be
      brought
     
     
      at
      out
      with
      the
      joining
      of
      the
     
     
      two
      campuses
      into
      one.
      Some
     
     
      alternative
      was
      needed
      by
      Sep-
     
     
      tember
      1970.
     
    

    
     
      The
      problem
      was
      of
      a
     
     
      financial
      nature.
      The
      year
      end-
     
     
      ing
      May
      2,
      1970
      left
      the
      Stu-
     
     
      dent
      Union
      Council
      -$15,000;
     
     
      no
      one
      knew
      the
      exact
      amount
     
     
      of
      this
      loss
      until
      all
      the
      bills
     
     
      were
      received,
      because
      the
     
     
      treasurers
      during
      the
      period
     
     
      prior
      to
      March
      1970
      had
      not
     
     
      recorded
      these
      bills
      and
      no
      one
     
     
      including
      the
      auditors
      had
      any
     
     
      idea
      of
      their
      total.
     
    

    
     
      Thus
      there
      were
      two
     
     
      enemies:
      time
      and
      money.
     
    

    
     
      After
      three
      board
      meet-
     
     
      ings,
      the
      University
      agreed
      to
     
     
      give
      the
      Student
      Union
      the
     
     
      Barn
      free
      of
      cost,
      with
      the
     
     
      stipulation
      that
      if
      the
      Univer-
     
     
      sity
      moved
      in
      that
      direction
     
     
      and
      if
      the
      space
      was
      needed,
     
     
      the
      Student
      Union
      would
      be
     
     
      reimbursed
      the
      current
      value
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      Barn
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      reavealing
      facts
      revealed
     
     
      (printed
      in
      the
      Cadre
      on
      September
      30,
      1970)
     
    
   
   
    
     
      of
      the
      building
      at
      that
      time
      toa
     
     
      maximum
      of
      $75,000.
      How-
     
     
      ever,
      the
      grounds
      committee
     
     
      of
      the
      University
      stated
      that
     
     
      the
      campus
      would
      be
      moving
     
     
      in
      another
      direction,
      and
      that
     
     
      there
      was
      little
      chance
      of
      them
     
     
      needing
      that
      area.
     
    

    
     
      At
      the
      same
      time,
      Jim
     
     
      Ross
      spent
      considerable
      time
     
     
      convincing
      the
      former
      S.D.U.
     
     
      Council
      and
      the
      Athletic
      De-
     
     
      partment
      that
      this
      was
      where
     
     
      the
      money
      should
      go.
      It
      wasn’t
     
     
      until
      late
      summer
      that
      the
     
     
      cheque
      was
      finally
      received
     
    

    
     
      Tenders
      posed
      another
     
     
      problem.
      Firsttenders
      for
      reno-
     
     
      vations
      alone
      were
      as
      high
      as
     
     
      $120,000
      for
      plumbing,
      and
     
     
      heating
      andelectricity
      $50,000.
     
     
      These
      were
      cut
      to
      a
      total
      of
     
     
      $130,000
      (including
      furniture).
     
     
      The
      final
      loan
      agreement
      was
     
     
      a
      loan
      of
      $90,000
      through
     
     
      UPEI,
      payable
      in
      installments
     
     
      of
      $12.00
      a
      student
      a
      year.
     
    

    
     
      The
      contracts
      for
      the
     
     
      Barn
      were
      not
      workable
      until
     
     
      late
      July.
      Work
      began
      less
      than
     
     
      six
      weeks
      before
      classes
      were
     
     
      scheduled
      to
      begin.
      It
      was
     
     
      hoped
      that
      the
      building
      would
     
     
      becompleted
      by
      September
      9.
     
     
      One
      important
      stipulation
      in
     
     
      the
      contract
      was
      that
      all
      labour
     
     
      be
      student
      labour,
      which
      did
     
    
   
   
    
     
      result
      in
      a
      number
      of
      students
     
     
      receiving
      some
      summer
      em-
     
     
      ployment.
     
    

    
     
      Work
      began
      with
      the
      re-
     
     
      moval
      of
      cement
      concrete
     
     
      stalls.
      This
      took
      one
      week.
     
     
      Work
      then
      began
      on
      reinforc-
     
     
      ing
      the
      beams
      for
      the
      second
     
     
      and
      third
      floors.
      At
      the
      same
     
     
      time,
      all
      unnecessary
      strap-
     
     
      ping
      was
      removed
      from
      the
     
     
      sides
      and
      ceiling
      of
      thebarn.
     
     
      The
      third
      floor
      was
      then
      added.
     
    

    
     
      Preparation
      of
      the
      floors
     
     
      for
      tiles
      was
      then
      undertaken
     
     
      and
      at
      the
      same
      time
      the
      walls
     
     
      and
      ceiling
      were
      insulated,
     
     
      strapped
      and
      wallboard
      or
      tile
     
     
      were
      added.
      The
      building
      be-
     
     
      gan
      to
      take
      shape.
     
    

    
     
      Since
      the
      first
      of
      Sep-
     
     
      tember,
      tilings,
      floors,
      furnished
     
     
      work,
      painting,
      electrical,
      and
     
     
      plumbing
      work
      have
      been
      the
     
     
      order
      of
      events.
     
    

    
     
      How
      do
      students
      view
     
     
      the
      building’
      s
      availabilty?
      One
     
     
      complaint
      was
      the
      Student
     
     
      Union
      offices
      were
      not
      located

      but
      this
      is
      nota
     
     
      legitimate
      complaint
