Following the presentation of three options concerning the future of Dalloway's at last Wednesday's Board of Governance meeting, Julie Duba, campus clubs commissioner and a representative from the Historical Preservation Committee said that the committee has recommended a new clubhouse be constructed.
Duba presented the three options regarding Dalloway's future to BOG: moving the clubhouse, constructing a new independent building or moving the activities that currently take place in Dalloways to a new location.
"After two hours of discussion, the Historical Preservation Committee decided to recommend to BOG that a new clubhouse be built," said Duba.
She noted that an anonymous donor gave $250,000 to sponsor the construction.
Ground for the new Dalloway's is expected to be broken this spring.
Preserving the historical tradition of the original Dalloways is a consideration in the process, Duba said.
"There will be a committee to deal with the architecture of the new building; there will be student voices involved," said Duba. "Somewhere in Dalloways, there is a cornerstone, it will be found and used in the new Dalloways. The flavor of Dalloways will be preserved."
In other BOG news:
u Members discussed tentative plans for an open meeting regarding student opinion on the Notre Dame administration's attempt to restrict advertising in The Observer.
"All members of BOG have received a letter from Michelle Krupa explaining the situation [with the proposed administrative ban]," said student body president Nancy Midden. "We have also been speaking with [Observer managing editor] Shannon Ryan."
The location and the date are yet to be determined.
u Holiday decorations at Saint Mary's were also discussed. Senior Michelle Sametra appeared before BOG to ask for funding for a Christmas tree to place on the library balcony in an attempt to spice up Saint Mary's during the holidays.
"It's low-cost and demands no work from you," Sametra said. "I spoke with the director of buildings and grounds, and it should only cost between $45-$55." BOG approved the sponsorship.
u Advertising club president Katie Candiano asked BOG for their co-sponsorship in bringing alumnae presently working in advertising to Saint Mary's to speak with students.
"It would be great for all advertising, communication, and marketing majors, really all majors," she said. "Lectures could be held in Haggar or Carroll Auditorium depending on the level of interest; it would be open to all students."
Plans for this event would be held next semester, possibly for women's month. Class of 2001 president Autumn Palacz said that the junior class had plans similar to those of the advertising club. This co-sponsorship was tabled with the idea that the junior class might co-sponsor this event with the advertising club.
