Terrace Room faces remodeling
By MICHAEL RIVERO
Loyolan Managing Editor
В
he complete renovation of the
Terrace Room is slated to begin on
May 31 at an estimated cost of
$125,000. After more than two years of
planning and development, the Univer¬
sity has given the final OK for the
restoration.
“In February of 1981 the, then newly
formed, Housing and Food Service
Committee discussed the problems of
the Terrace Room,” stated Ed Pan-
coni, one of the key organizers behind
this renovation project.
“Since then it’s been a series of
meetings and discussions with a number
of individuals and many groups,” Pan¬
coni elaborated.
“Everyone agreed to the fact that the
Terrace Room is a major social gather¬
ing point on campus and that the room
did need a complete overhaul. The pro¬
blem from there was finding a design
that would please everybody» and
gather the money to build it,” noted
Panconi.
With the help of some active trustees,
including Missy Chandler, Sam Arkoff,
Bill and Andy Hannon, and others, the
Facility Planning Commission, also
headed by Panconi, delivered a formal
proposal to the University’s Board of
Trustees this past June.
‘‘That presentation was the definate
commitment from the University that
we were looking for,” Panconi related.
At that point Saga Food, Service,
which also provides food service for
many California universities including
LMU, hired outside designers. (Detail¬
ed plans of their work can be seen on
page five.)
Most of those who have seen the ar¬
tist’s rendering for the design claim it to
be very attractive.
“The colors are all earth tones and
the carpeting is going to be a major im¬
provement, ’ ’ Panconi illustrated . “It
will become a lot like the Lair. A nice
place to meet and talk with friends as
well as a place to eat.”
Explaining some new procedures,
Saga Manager Jan Colgate noted,
“We’re also going to give students the
option to drop their [meal] plan for the
first few weeks of the semester. This
will help out the student who finds a
job right after school starts or for the
person who just doesn’t like institu¬
tional meals.”
Colgate added, “We’re also going to
establish a permanent University Food
Service Committee that will meet
regularly with Saga staff members.”
Panconi proudly emphasized,
“Students at LMU can get somethings
done. It just takes a little time and
dedication!”
The scheduled completion date for
the refurbishment is around the first of
June. ■
WASC team study verified
By CHRIS KRAUSE
Loyolan Editor-in-Chief
Boyola Marymount appears to have
survived the visit by the .pre¬
accreditation team representing the
Western Association of Schools and
Colleges . The 1 2-member panel com¬
pleted their four day investigation and
left as quietly and quickly as they had
arrived.
The team of professional ad¬
ministrators and educational instruc¬
tors was to verify the results of a
University self-study begun over 18
months ago. In addition to their ad¬
judication of the study, the members
were to interject their comments and
suggestions.
The team ended their visit by
generalizing some of their findings in
an open meeting before those in atten¬
dance last Friday, March 1 1 . They were
not allowed to reveal their official
recommendations, but alluded to much
of what would be included in their final
report.
The official findings of the commit¬
tee are to be prepared in final report
form and submitted to WASC head¬
quarters in San Francisco. There the
reports will be compiled and reviewed
and a final, official report submitted to
Loyola Marymount.
Individual members of the team for¬
mally and informally met with Univer¬
sity officials, administrators, faculty,
