More hours for weight
room in heavy demand
By RENEE PEVOTO
Texas A&M students have been
complaining that the weight room in
DeWare Field House should re
main open the same hours as the
rest of the field house.
DeWare is open from 8 a.m. to 2
every day. The racquetball
and basketball courts are used for
PE classes on weekdays; however,
they can be used by students, from
12 noon to 1 p.m. and anytime after
4 p.m.
The weight room is open for stu
dent use from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, and from
12 noon to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. Saturdays and Sundays
the room may be used from 2 p.m.
to 5 p.m. These are the hours that
were set two years ago by the in
tramural department, along with
the increase last February to in
clude the noon hours.
The athletes at Texas A&M “use
the room Monday through Friday
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. We need the
facilities all day because there are so
many athletes that it gets crowded,
said Billy Pickard, athletic trainer.
“Coach Bellard is letting the in
tramural department use it the rest
of the time. It is a cooperative thing
because the intramural department
maintains the room.”
Scott Logan, a junior finance
major, uses the facilities in the
weight room.
“I know that the facilities are
being used by athletes in the after
noons,” Logan said, “but I don’t
understand why the weight room
can’t remain open like the rest of the
field house. It is so crowded be
tween 7 and 10 at night that it takes
a long time to go through the line.”
Randy Thompson, a junior engi
neering technology major who
works out approximately four times
a week for one and a half hours each
time, asked, “Why do they have
enough personnel to keep DeWare
open from 8 to 2, and not enough to
keep the weight room open at the
same time?”
Dennis Corrington, director of in
tramurals, said he wasn’t aware that
students felt so strongly about the
hours of the weight room. “I haven’t
considered any change because no
one has talked to me about it. I need
some more input from students on
what would be the best times.”
Corrington said that since the ath
letic department lets the intramural
department use the equipment, the
cost of extra maintenance would
have to be considered. The cost of
staffing the room with a trained em
ployee is also a factor. “This would
call for $2.30 per hour minimum for
the employee, plus extra mainte
nance costs,” Corrington said.
The money which is allocated to
the intramural department comes
from the student services fee.
To get the extra funds needed,
Corrington would have to go
through the physical education de
partment, in the College of Educa
tion under Academic Affairs.
Academic Affairs would then make
the request to Dr. John Koldus,
vice-president of student services.
Koldus then has to make a request
for the money to President Jarvis
Miller, only after he has spoken to
both Corrington and to the student
government. “Miller has the final
say in what and how the money will
be used,” said Koldus.
“Any time a new request comes
in, it must be an exceptional thing,”
Koldus added. “Once you allow an
exception without going through all
the budgetary procedures, you’re
opening the door to all pos
sibilities.” The official university
budget for all departments is
worked up every spring.
Both Corrington and Koldus said
that it is important to relate to
priorities. They said that there are
other needs which may need to be
met before this particular one.
"I know that the room is being
used well, it is a matter of prioritiM?’ e
Corrington said. “No one has(ik I:

The Southwest Conference is hav
ing its closest baseball race in years
and last weekend was a typical
example of how well the league is
balanced this season.
All four of Saturday’s double
headers were split and the outcome
left the league chase in a three-way
deadlock between the Baylor Bears,
Houston Cougars and the school
that seems to be doing everything
right these days — Arkansas.
They all have 6-3 records, one
game ahead of Texas Tech. And
down in fifth place is defending con
ference champion Texas A&M and
way down there tied for seventh is
preseason favorite Texas.
For the third straight weekend
the Longhorns could manage only
one victory in a three-game series
— this time with the Aggies.
And as the halfway point in the
