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

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.

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.

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.

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

ance contribute to a memorial hind

graduate, Mr. Krueger served his
alma mater as president of the As

He was presented the
university’s Distinguished Alumni
