The beams in the courts are structural and cannot be removed. The weight room was remodeled from one of the varsity dressing rooms, Corrington said. Corrington said he thought the University did an excellent job re modeling the building and making good use of it. The racquetball courts are often dirty and have several lights out. Both of these conditions are hazard ous and hinder play. Corrington said that his staff “tries to report the lights weekly,” but said it is up to the Grounds Maintenance De partment to replace them. There is little time for maintenance because the facility is in constant use. Cor rington said a midnight to 8 a.m. cleaning shift would probably solve the cleaning problem. He said it may be next year before they can fit such a shift into their budget. Air conditioning DeWare would also cut down on the dirt, since the building is old and dust can enter through cracks and windows. He said the intramural department plans to put down indoor-outdoor carpet to eliminate some of the dirt which is tracked in. Students who don’t have their own racquets usually have to stand in line to wait for one. Corrington said the department keeps about 12 racquets out of inventory for check outs. They expect about 50 percent of the players to have their own, Corrington said, making 28 racquets the maximum needed on the 14 courts at any one time. “We need to get more racquets out there,” Corrington said. But storage space for racquets is limited and there is also no more room for storing footballs and basketballs to check out, he said. Corrington said racquetballs are not checked out to students because they are too expensive. They cost $14 a dozen and 2 dozen balls can easily be used in a day. Recreational swimming and in tramural water sports, which vie for pool time with swimming classes and swim team workouts, have no immediate relief in sight. Most pool time is used for classes, and recre ational activities must be scheduled around them. Pool time will become more limited until an additional pool is built. The intramural program is part of the PE department. It is funded partly by the department, but mostly by student service fees. The athletic department provides no funds, but Corrington said it has cooperated greatly with the pro gram by allowing the use of Kyle Field and the weight room in De- Ware. Associate Athletic Director Mar vin Tate said, “We let intramurals use our facilities and we don’t get a thing out of it. ” ovei * * APRIL a, X 9 78 z: DO P.M.
