Slouch Jim Earle Page 2 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1975 “You’ve had more experience! Should I try to take an extra day on Thursday before the fourth, or Monday after the fourth. & Lights out Editor: I’m finally fed up enough to write. If I don’t take the first step no one else will follow. I could write a series, but right now I’ll just state one gripe . . . SUBJECT: TENNIS COURTS Once again the University re gards us as irresponsible adoles cents. Why must the tennis court lights be shut off at 11:00 every night (Friday and Saturday nights are no exception). Is this a hint? Okay children, go to bed. On weekend nights (night tennis is very important during the hot, summer months), there at least 25 people — there’d be more if there was room—playing tennis or waiting on courts and sudden ly, BAM!!!, the “University God” strikes down the lights and everybody scrambles around for their tennis balls ($3 a can). Come on, please, if the stadium tjtf 9~/ie tAcbm.... rm»qo Cheerleaders, twirlers and drum majors have once again descended on the TAMU campus. The week long workshop which features high school students from across the state is designed to provide instruction in all aspects of cheerleading. As the picture above shows, some think it’s funny, others not so funny. «£• »;♦;« »>:« »>:< »;♦:« »:•:« »>:« »>:« »>!«»>:« »>:« »>:< »>:< »;• »>:< »>:< »;♦:< »>:< »>:« »>:< »>:< >«? >U?

Address: The Battalion, Room 217, Services Building, College Station, lights can be left on until 1:00 in the morning for somebody to run around and then throw up, maybe the tennis buffs could be shown a little kindness. Like many others, I work dur ing the day, and in the cool of the night, I play tennis. Although not really, actually I just wait for a court. At around 10:30 the courts start to clear a little; I play for 30 minutes and then walk back in the dark. Fun, huh? A partial solution to the prob lem would be to fix the lights that are there. For about three months the lights on 4 courts have been out and another light is out accounting for only partial lighting on another two courts. Repeated calls to the Intramural Office (who promise to fix the lights that are out and send out work orders that are never filled) have proved fruitless. So I think we need help from higher up. . . No, not the “University God,” just the University officials. Allan Wyatt Pool closed Editor: I enjoy swimming in the Wof ford Cain pool, except when it’s closed, and that’s about half the time. According to the pool man ager, the cause is that lime from the adjacent football parking lot (which is under construction) blows into the pool, clogs the fil ters, clouds the water, and makes it unfit for swimming. The pool must be drained, cleaned and re filled; all a costly operation. After this procedure is completed, the manager said the pool is good for about three days before it needs to be closed again. I was informed by Mr. Charles E. Brunt, Manager of Construc tion at the Facilities Planning and Construction office, that con struction of the parking lot will not be complete for 6-8 weeks, and that it will be at least three more weeks before the lime dust is cov ered over well enough to prevent it from blowing into the pool. In other words, the swimming season may well be over before the rust settles, and those of us who like to swim must go else where or forget about swimming outside. Why does this construction have to take so long? The starting date of this project was January 19. Many projects on campus that were started much later are already finished. It seems like a mere change in construction prior ities would speed this project to completion and save the rest of the swimming season for the many students, faculty and staff members who enjoy the pool. We’ve lived with torn up streets for over a year now. A few more weeks won’t matter. But in a few more weeks, the swimming season will be over, and the way things are going over there, not many of us will get to swim very much. Marilyn E. Hatkin. Krueger, 85 dies after illness SAN ANTONIO — C. C. (Polly) Krueger, former member of TAMU’s board of directors, past president of its alumni association and recipient of its Distinguished Alumni Award, died Monday in a hospital here following a lengthy ill ness.
