     THE BARN f 
     
    
   
   
    
     the revealing facts revealed 
     
    
   
   
    
     May 2, 1970 the Student Council 
     
     Executive, under the leadership of 
     
     Jim Ross, President, explained Stu- 
     
     dent Union recreation and coffee 
     
    

    
     ‘ shoppe facilities. The former 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 can.- 
     
     puses into one. Some alternative 
     
     was needed by September 1970. 
     
     The problem was of afinancial 
     
     nature. The year ending May 2, 
     
     1970 left the Student Union Coun- 
     
     cil -$15,000; no one'knew the exact 
     
     amount of this loss until all the bills 
     
    
   
   
    
     were received, BECAUSE the treas- 
     
     urers during the period prior to Mar- 
     
     ch 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 
     
     meetings, the University agreed to 
     
     give the Student Union the BARN 
     
     FREE OF COST, with the stip- 
     
     ulation that if the University moved 
     
     in that direction and the space was 
     
     needed, the Student Union would be 
     
     reimbursed the current value of the 
     
     building at that time to a maximum 
     
     of $75,000. However, 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 Ath- 
     
     letic Department that this was where 
     
     the money should go. It wasn’t un— 
     
     til late summer that the cheque was 
     
     finally received. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Tenders posed another problem. 
     
     First tenders for renovations alone 
     
     went as high as $120,000 for plumb- 
     
    
   
   
    
     plumbing and heating and electricty 
     
    
   
   
    
     $50,000. These were cut to a total 
     
     of $130,000 (including furniture) 
     
     The final loan agreement was a loan 
     
    
   
   
    
     of $90,000 through U.P.E.I., pay- 
     
     able in installments of $12.00 a 
     
     student 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 
     
    
   
   
    
     be completed by September'9th. 
     
     One important stipulation in the 
     
     contract was that all labor be stu- 
     
     dent labor, which did result in a 
     
     number of students receiving some 
     
     summer employment. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Work began with the removal of 
     
     cement concrete stalls. This took 
     
     one week. Work then began on re- 
     
    
   
   
    
     inforcing the beams for the second 
     
     and third floors. At the same time.— 
     
     all unnecessary strapping was remo- 
     
     ved from the sides and ceiling of the 
     
     barn. The third floor was then 
     
     added. 
     
    

    
     ' Preparation of the floors for tile 
     
    
   
   
    
     , was then undertaken and at the 
     
     same time the~walls and ceiling 
     
    
   
   
    
     were insulated, strapped and wall- 
     
    
   
   
    
     board or tile were then added. The' 
     
    
   
   
    
     building began to take shape. 
     
    

    
     Since the first of September, til 
     
     ing, floors, furnished work, paint- 
     
     ing electrical and plumbing work 
     
     have been the order of events. 
     
    
   
   
    
     How do students view the bui- 
     
    
   
   
    
     available? One complaint was that 
     
     Student Union offices were not 
     
     located in the building, but this is 
     
     not a legimiate complaint as the nu- 
     
     mber of students presently doing 
     
     any Union work doesn’t warrant 
     
     spending any amount of money on 
     
     new offices, and if the past holds 
     
     true, we won’t warrant it.
