Center's
problems
solvable

The new Health Center is not perfect
but it is a vast improvement over the
old facility.
The biggest problem, said Dr. Edward Stoner, health services director
is that the emergency room does not
have a receiving corridor at the
loading ramp.
"That stinks. It's the lousy way it's
designed. The door to the emergency
room is right at the loading ramp,"
Stoner said. Dirt from the parking lot
could blow into the room.
Another problem is the door to the
X-rav room. A patient on a stretcher
could not get into the room because the
X-rav shield will get in the way, Stoner
said. The entry will have to be
redesigned.
Stoner said he never saw the
specifications lor the new building.
"We did have input ol what we
needed, but the architect's view ol
what we need and how to construct it
was two different things."
"He (Stoner) has seen all the plans
and the specifications,'! said Richard
Lavender, campus architect al UCF1. "I
don't know what his problem is but he
just doesn't remember."
Stoner said he had nothing to do
with the planning of the layout ol the
new facilities.
Lavender said, "He was consulted
from day one1."
Lavender said Stoner saw the plans
before construction started. "There
was plenty ol time to correct the
problem," Lavender said.
"When buildings are being built, the
architects should consult the occupants
as to their heeds and .then limit the
building around those needs rather
than their dreams," said Stoner.
There is a room designated a.s a
classroom but once* a conference table
is put in there will not be much room
left. "It's just too small," Stoner said.
Stoner said the new lacilitv is far
superior lo the current facility.
''Even a box of sardines is heaven
compared to this place," he said of the
existing health center.
The new health center is not a
hospital. "We won't do anv surgery.,
"Stoner said. However, students who
have surgery can recover at the health
center, saving money.

SAGA denied clean bill of health
by Kathleen Foronda
Future staff
UCF's SAGA food service max have
cleaned up its 13 health safety
violations since Oct. 2, but an Orange
County health inspector said there is
still room lor improvement.
Health inspector Kathv Weaver
cheeked Nov. 10 and marked down
uneleaned milk dispensers in the
cafeteria, no coverings (sneeze guards)
on the self-serve soup and salad areas
and a lack of .shelving in the storage
room.
'•Equipment has to be off the floor
tor cleaning purpose's. They either
have to put it up or get rid of that
unused equipment," Weaver said.
She also said SAGA employees were
taking too much meat out of the
freezer at one time. As a result, chicken
or beef left to defrost  to room  tem
perature allows bacteria to grow, according to Weaver.
To correct this, SAGA director Bob
Stage said meat will now be stocked in
reach-in refrigerators closer to the kitchen so that smaller portions ol meat
can be taken out. Prior to Stage's
change, meat was stocked in the main
freezer in the back of the building.
Weaver will inspect the premises
again  in  about  two weeks.
Inspections have caused Stage to
have 23 of SAGA's 84 full-time and
student employees certified in food
management. However, onlv one person is required to take the four hour
class. Basic sanitation and food handling are taught through films and
slides. Weaver said.
Ol the 13 violations Weaver found
on Oct. 2, roach infestation and unsanitary ice-cream service were the
most severe.
Stage said SAGA has discontinued its
contract with Getz Exterminators. The
Get/, companv was not spraying on a
regular basis, according to Stage. Since then. Stage said SAGA has been
doing its own exterminating.
He said discussions are now being
held  with   Orkin   Exterminators  to
spray the dining areas and kitchen' in
addition.to SAGA's own spraying.
"The initial clean-out will leave
some dead bugs for a couple of days, so
Orkin will draw up a statement to tell
the students about the spraying;" Stage
said. Residents will receive flyers in
their mail boxes and information will
be posted on bulletin boards for all
other students, Stage said.
Students used to be able to dip their
own ice cream, but that service has
been  discontinued.
"It someone is going to get sick it's
because of improper handling of
tood," said Weaver.
Library needs twice the space
Plans are being made to double the size of the UCF
library.
The Florida Board of Regents' standards require the
library to hold 25 percent of the student body.
The library currently holds 5 percent.
Library Director Lynn Walker said, "I doubt if 9 out
ol the 10 Florida state colleges have seating for 25 percent of their students, but the other colleges are not as
bad off for space as UCF."
Walker said he hopes to get all the other departments
out when the library is expanded.
Last year the state legislature allocated $440,000 to
UCF to plan the expansion. A statement of the building
needs is being drawn up and will be submitted to the
BOR for approval. UCF will request $6 million for the
expansion at the spring legislature session.
