New UA Engineering Building in the Works Travis Pence Staff Writer
With a growing student population, university officials are planning to contruct another building to accommodate more students, UA officials said. The university is also planning construction of new academic buildings on the parking lots located to the south, or across Dickson Street, from the original engineering hall, Johnson said.
“Those building will be considered a part of the John A. White Jr. Engineering Hall,” he said.

This new wing will complete the original construction plans for the building and add a 200 to 300 seat classroom to the building, Johnson said.

Many international students are interested in the upcoming presidential election although they cannot vote. “The United States’ politics has a large influence on world politics,” said Menjiao Liao, UA student. “I personally care about the election even though I do not have the right to vote. I think that the result of the election directly affects the United States foreign policies, which most of the international students care about, such as immigration.” Some international students watched the Presidential Debates to learn about the candidates. “I am interested in the U.S. presidential election since the current economy has decreased,” said Richard Wong, who is from China. “I have watched many debates on TV shows. It is interesting to see arguments between Democrats and Republican who try to come up with new policies to help the economy.

UA International Student While some foreign students care about the U.S. presidential election, there are some who are not interested in the election. “I do not care about the US presidential election, because I am not registered to vote, so there is no point for me to care about it,” said Hanbit Eric Lee. “I just do not like politics because their images to me are all propaganda, and there is not really a clear way to distinguish who is what since they all have their managers, coordinators and even speech writers. I just cannot change anything for this country.”
