FEBRUARY 22.1<!91 Campus day-care considering expansion plans By ERICK JOHNSON Assistant News Editor The University of Miami and the Canterbury Day-Care Center are looking for ways to expand child care facilities on campus. University of Miami officials and the Canterbury board of directors recently discussed plans to expand the facility, which is currently located off of Stanford Drive. During a meeting held on Feb. 6, UM officials discussed the possibility of putting a roof over the center’s current patio to create more internal space, according to Ronald Naylor, a board member. Dr. Roosevelt Thomas, Jr., assistant vice president for human resources, said UM considered placing the center’s kitchen and bathrooms upstairs to make a larger playing area on the first floor. Thomas said he hopes to increase Canterbury’s capacity limit from 30 to 100 children. Naylor said the board did not make a final decision because board members wanted to look at other options before reaching a conclusion. The two parties will meet again March 6 other possibilities, Naylor said. todiscus6 'The meet was not desii to come Baylor said, "ft was part of :ting i to a decision,” Na_ the building process.” — Whan Canterbury decides what idea to use,' expansion activity won’t occur immediately, but in six months, Naylor said. According to Naylor, once the idea is agreed upon, the University’s architect must incorporate it into a design. After this happens, financial support for the project must be found — a task that might be difficult con- sidering today’s declining economy and a tight University budget. But despite the possible setbacks, Rhonda Dubord, chairwoman <rf the Women's Commission, remains optimistic about an expanded day-care facility on campus. "At least they’re making an effort,” Dubord said. "Tlie more we continue to put presaure on (the administration) formally and informally, tMb more we get things done.” “I’m fainy optimistic, Naylor said. "The University administration is aware of the needs |for a bigger and better child care facility! and has been assisting in those needs."

Tsxas students may savs on books Texas collegians may soon be able to sell even discarded textbooks back to their campus bookstore, if a bill recently introduced in the state House of Representatives passes. The bill, written by state Rep. Billy Clemons, would require public colleges and universities in the state to Duy back books no longer used on campus at 25 percent of their retail cost. Clemons, who has a daughter who attends Texas A&M, said it’s “not right that students should have to buy books and not be able to sell them back,” aide Rick Collins said. It would also force campuses to pay students thousands of dollars that they don’t have, campus officiais replied, 'it’s almost ludicrous," Wes Aldis, manager of the Victoria College Bookstore and president of the Southwest College Bookstores Association, said.
