ERDA denies solar aid
The federal Energy Re
search and Development Ad
ministration (ERDA) has re
fused to fund an experimental
solar heating unit in the
University’s proposed
$2-million music school addi
tion.
Monrette Rider, dean of the
music school, says the ERDA
is not funding any solar heating
projects because “too much
research is underway” right
now in the field.
“I still have hopes, however,
that we will be able to get some
type of funding for the solar
project and have it installed by
the time the new wing of the
building is complete,” he says.
Campus architect John
Kahananui explains that the
federal funding would have
provided $100,000 for the
unit's necessary solar collec
tors. Despite the funding re
fusal, he says the new wing will
include options for a solar
energy system anyway, since
the funding may come eventu
ally.
Construction of the new
music school wing is
scheduled to begin in August
and end by late 1977.

University are undergoing

Tossers, donors sought for marathon
Frisbee-ists seek new record
A rain or shine, around-the-clock,
record-challenging “Greater Frisbee
Marathon" begins at noon today on
campus. The three-week frisbee toss is
a fund-raising effort for White Bird Clinic,
a local socio-medical aid station.
graveyard shift frisbee fanatics wilt be at
the lighted walkway west of the EMU
and on rainy days they’ll move to the
basement of Dyment Hall.
To get medical attention for “frisbee
elbow,” call White Bird Clinic.
White Bird Frisbee Fanatics hope to
Keep the saucer flying 504 hours — 21
days — thereby breaking the current re
cord, according to Guiness, of slightly
less than 16 days.
The marathon sponsors invite both
tossers and donors to participate in this
frisbee frolic. People can pledge an
amount for each hour that frisbees are
flying and this money will go toward the
$3,500 goal White Bird has set. The
money will be used to help maintain ser
vices at the clinic in what marathon or
ganizer Ed Sussman describes as a
“general financial crunch.”
The first frisbee will be flung at noon,
just east of the EMU next to Carson Hall.
Medians Wolf, a local band, will provide
musical entertainment for the event's
opening hours. Sussman says drop-in
frisbee ftingers are welcome, or people
can call him at 343-2625 to make a
commitment for specific two-hour shifts.
People wishing to pledge money to aid
White Bird should also call Sussman
During daylight hours, the marathon \
will be held on the grassy area between
Carson Hall and the EMU. At night, the
