The equipment will be avail able at no charge sometime in January to all students of Texas V&M University. Faculty and staff can use the equipment for a small fee. By KATHY O’CONNELL Battalion Reporter Students and staff at Texas A&M University will be able to take advan tage of new weight training equip ment being set up in G. Rollie White Coliseum sometime after Jan. 1, 1981. Dennis Corrington, head of Intra mural Athletics, said a weight room containing three Universal gym machines and seven Nautilus machines is being planned for Room 262. Prior to September, 1979, Cor rington said, non-athlete students were allowed to use the athlete’s weight room in the DeWare Field- house. At that time, Mike Flynt was hired by the Athletic Department to set up a weight program for all athletes. “What was happening,†Corring ton said, “was non-athletes were having to use the weight room at times that weren’t being used by athletes.†This upset many students because there was a large demand for this activity and there wasn’t enough time to use the equipment, he said. The Student Government recog nized the problem and came up with the money to finance the project, Corrington said. Approximately $36,000, which came from the student service re serve fee, was used to finance the project. Corrington said he doesn’t expect the room to be ready until after the first of the year because they are waiting for construction in the col iseum to be completed. The weight room will be where the P.E. weight training classes are now held. Those classes, he said, will be moved to another room. All the equipment, except the Nautilus machines, has arrived and is in storage, he said. The other ~ \ afeteria policies not new By JANE G.

The room will be open Monday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and weekends from noon to 6 p.m. Corrington said he plans to extend the schedule, but this depends on whether there is enough student in terest. Seminars on proper equipment use are also planned, he said. These seminars should help cut down on maintenance and repair of the machines, he added. ployees that those other facilities are available, Maynard said, but no one has ever told him they had been asked to leave. Another policy meant to ease the crowded conditions is one regarding customers who leave books and other belongings on tables while going back to get in line for food. A new sign appeared in the cafeteria this semester saying, “Any unattended articles left on tables will be turned in to the main desk. †The sign is new; the policy is not. One Food Services employee said people who leave belongings on the tables contribute to the slow turnover of tables. “Book racks are available,†Maynard said. Four shelves, approximately eight feet long, line the cafeteria entrance on the lounge side. The MSG Cafeteria serves between five and six thousand people each day. Half those people come to eat between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The cafeteria has a seating capacity of 600, including the small dining area on the west side. That area, which seats 70 persons, is open for customers whenever it is not reserved for private meetings. MAJOR ACOUSTIC GUITAR YEAR END SALE! LOWEST PRICES THIS YEAR! SALE NEW ALVAREZ GUITARS...
