The area includes howling lanes, billiard tables, pinball machines, electronic games, and table tennis. "Everything we make from the howling lanes area is used in the operations of the MSC Complex,” Hensel said. “We arc heavily de pendent on the howling and games to help finance the center — to help us break even. Hensel said recommendations have been made to enlarge the center or to set up a separate facil ity for the games area on the west side of campus. “Unfortunately, there arc no plans for increasing the size of the student center,” he said. “Enlarg ing the center would enable us to put in more games.
