by Margo Lipschultz

The Board of Trustees met last Friday for the first time this school year to discuss plans to build a new Science Center and Environmental Studies Center.

"We're in the home stretch for the Environmental Studies building," President of the College Nancy Dye said. "The model is just beautiful. It's breathtaking, really."

According to Secretary of the College Bob Haslun, the Trustees met for several hours Thursday night to cially approved at Friday's meeting.

"We hope to start breaking ground in June," Haslun said.

"Those were really the major goals and objectives of the meeting. We're also starting to talk in pretty concrete terms about the Capital Campaign, which will begin in late 1998 or early 1999," Dye said.

Trustees also agreed to sell 15 pieces of Allen Memorial Art Museum (AMAM) furniture that "weren't up to museum quality," according to Haslun.

The Trustees will meet again in December.
