UCF acquires
art collection
The Art Department announces it has
been given a collection of paintings by
Tibor Pataky, native of Hungary who
settled in Orlando. He studied at the
Hans Hoffman school in Provincetown,
Mass.
The artist's widow will be on campus
to make a formal donation at 3 p.m. on
Monday, Feb. 11, Tania String, gallery
curator, said. Pataky's paintings will be
on exhibit and the public is invited.
To promise not to do a thing is the
surest way in the world to make a body
want to go and do that very thing.
Always do right. This will gratify some
people and astonish the rest.

Open House Sunday afternoon
dedicates completed Library
This Sunday is an extra big day for
Director Anne Marie Allison and her
staff of 60 librarians.
Between the hours of 2 and 4 p.m.
they greet the public and show off the
$7.4 million renovation-enlargement of
the main campus Library. The original
part was the first building on campus
and with a wing as big as the original
its 213,000 square feet makes it the
biggest building on campus.
Dr. Robert L. Middlekauff, director of
the world-renowned Henry E. Huntington Library in San Marino, Calif., is the
principal speaker.
The program begins at 2 p.m. with
Vice President Lou Trefonas extending
the welcome. Dean Charles Micarelli
will introduce platform guests and the
speaker. Tours of all five floors of the
building will follow the talk.
Shakespeare of Church St., a downtown entertainment spot, has donated
the services of some of their colorful
entertainment, a William Shakespeare,
his daughter, Lady Susan, and another
notable of English history, Sir Walter
Raleigh, in costume.
The music fraternity, Phi Mu Alpha,
also is donating services, a string duet,
a jazz quartet and a brass ensemble.
The entertainers will be found on different floors of the Library.
The Feb. 10 dedication, said Allison,
"is a time to celebrate the new building,
the maturing of the Library, and a time
to call attention to UCF as the intellectual center of our area. I would like to
invite everyone to be here with us."

Four jobs
to be bid
in February
Facilities Planning hopes to get the
University's construction back on
schedule this month in four bid lettings.
Meanwhile, a long-delayed project,
the Health Education Facility is under
construction adjacent to the Student
Health Center.
Since early in the fall construction
has been halted by bids higher than the
funds alloted. Planner Bob Webb has
sent plans on each job back to the
architects for redesign and later
rebidding.
Student Center renovations and
expansion, budgeted at $737,476, come
up for rebidding at Physical Plant on
Tuesday, Feb. 19, at 2 p.m. The lowest
of seven bids in December came in at
$987,417, so the game room and
lounge have been deleted this time,
leaving in the cinema/pub and Student
Government expansion.
On Feb. 27 two jobs go to bid. One is
for a connecting corridor of old and new
lobbies of the University Theatre and
the other is a new Student Government
kiosk, a permanent building to be
located near where the old one was
removed during Christmas vacation.
The kiosk budget is $35,000.
Athletic Facility Phase II, budgeted at
$1\230,776, will be rebid on Feb. 28,
with miscellaneous deletions that may
be added later. The low bid in November
was about $300,000 over budget.
The University's one and only
experiment with bidding design and
construction as a single package ran
into difficulties with the 2,500 square
foot Health Education Facility. Bids
were first taken in the fall of 1983, but
ground was not broken until the end of
January 1985.
The $154,000 construction will
provide a large conference room for
teaching and dental facilities for
students.
The upgrading of electrical and air
handling facilities at Computer Center
II, expected to cause a lot of problems,
has been progressing without
complaints, Webb said. The work, much
of it in corridor ceilings, has to be done
while the building remains in use.
