jvjeral expansions have already

[hi Board of Directors has allot
ted $93,000 for the construction of a
new haseball field for Texas A&M
west of campus on the site where the
rodeo arena now stands.
The new field is sorely needed,
Coach Tom Chandler said, citing
several instances of fans falling
through bleachers which have given
away.
The addition of twenty lighted
tennis courts has also been pro
posed, Landiss said. Although con
struction has not yet begun, the
Board of Directors has allocated
$7,0(X) for the design of the courts
which will he located north of the

Dennis Corrington, director of in
tramurals, is confident that his pro
gram will get most or all of the
money. He says the participation in
crease justifies the recpiest.
A small amount ($13,000) of the
increase goes to hiring two new
graduate assistants and a second
clerk typist to handle a heavier work
load in the office.
Last year the department spent
$33,000 on supervision and officiat
ing. This year they are requesting
$97,227. The budget summary says
the money is necessary to handle the
40 per cent increase in number of
teams entered and games played in
1976-77.
Corrington said the department is
going to increase supervision in
gyms and weight rooms when the
facilities are not being used for
classes. This will mainly affect
weekend hours in DeWare and G.
Rollie White.
completion of the courts is Oct.
1976.
Landiss has also proposed an addi
tion to the annex of G. Rollie White
Coliseum. The addition would house
more indoor classroom facilities,
plus additional bowling lanes in the
basement.
However, it will be at least three
to four years before the addition can
become a reality because the propo
sal still has to go through administra
tive channels and planning.
This addition, which would be ap
proximately twice the size of the an
nex, was proposed originally along
with the annex, but Landiss said
there was not enough money to
complete the entire addition at that
time.
Four intramural softball courts
and eight soccer and flag football
fields were opened this fall across the
railroad tracks west of the campus,
Landiss said. However, he pointed
out that facilities in DeWare were
overcrowded and could be used by
students on a reservation system
during weekdays. The growing
number of users has made this sys
tem necessary to accommodate the
many students who wish to use the
facilities, Landiss said.
A series of articles on the sports
facilities around campus will appear
in The Battalion in the weeks to
come. Each article will examine in
depth the conditions of the facilities,
future plans to alleviate overcrowd
ing, and age problems if such condi
tions exist — as well as where the
money allotted for the improvement
of these facilities is going.
Golfers finish second
in home tournament
It was only a fight for second place on two windy and wet days of
competition in the Texas A&M Invitational Golf Tournament this past
weekend as Houston swept to an 11-stroke victory over Texas, SMU
and the host Aggies.
The three runners-up finished within three strokes of each other
with the Longhorns on top, followed by the Mustangs and A&M.
Two Aggies finished a stroke short of the medalist honor that went to
Houston’s Robert Hoyt. Hoyt shot a 147 while Ags Monte Schauer and
Steve Whiteside joined Couger Keith Fergus and UT’s Tim Wilson at
148.
