DeWare was originally able to hold 3,000 to 3,500 spectators and had'"no handball courts, so the basketball area stretched from wall to wall, floor to ceiling. Carl Landiss, professor of health and physical education at A&M from 1943 to 1979, said when he came to campus, there was not enough seating for basketball games. "The students and faculty both went to games according to first letter of their last names." says Landiss, "One night A-Ls were al lowed to attend and another night was M-Zs." The problem of seating, a growing student population and a larger athletic program led to the building of G. Rollie White Colise um. The idea was to build the new complex and tear down the old field house; however, funding was never sufficient to finish the new building, so the school decid ed to renovate DeWare. The coli seum stayed its familiar horseshoe shape and DeWare received new life. Today, DeWare's only resem blance to its past is the basketball floor. Handball courts were added during the renovation. This cut the ceiling clearance in half and the enormous arching windows are, for the most part, hidden from view. Instead of huge iron rafters and open area above the court, there is only acoustic tiles and cracked paint on BILLY MORAN/The Battalion (Above) Deware Field House, built in 1 924, was named after all-around Texas A&M athlete Charles A. Deware. (Right) The Aggie basket ball team scrimmages against itself in Deware in the early 1 930s. The coli seum originally held about 3,500 spectators but when A&M continued to grow, it lost the limelight to the newly constructed G. Rollie White Coliseum. COURTESY OF UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES the few visible windows. Theie ovation also cut seating in half Both DeWare and Downs ait showing the signs of age. Walls are cracking, roofs leak and fits are beginning to sag. Last sum mer, the Physical Plant complc a reinforcement project ontne field house. In addition, soil conditions) considered to have an affect on many old buildings in this are) the country. Expansive clays in the ground have caused many buildings with reinforced slats and pools to settle unevenly. 6 cause of an above ground craw space surrounding the Down's pool below its deck, the old pp may have escaped decline eviiis in the natatorium building itsel A possible solution to theexpa: sive clay problem is to build on pier foundation, such as the ok being put under the new sports facility. To many people on campus, such as Martha Nix and swim ming coach Melvin Nash, thedi struction of Downs is a tragedv and the passing of a unique pi« of history. Although he admits that the lack of a collegiate lew: swimming facility has hurt re cruiting in the past, Nash said,' can't promise that I won't shed tear when this place comes down." DeWare and Downs havea[ parently outlasted their useful ness. The new complex will h) multiple basketball and racquet ball courts. The weight room* be larger and air-conditioned. Nash said the new swimming pools will be among the top fit collegiate facilities in the natiot Although the new gym will more aesthetically pleasing, sue love the atmosphere of the old; Ware weight room. Many patii say that they love the sweatbw feel of the old gym. Many schools have more th one swimming and gym facilit) This gives the students and fact ty a choice of places to workout and at the same time keeps new facilities from receiving t he tral of the entire school. Many buildings have come down to make room for the ne» When the school built the Rudd Tower, the old auditorium, Gui Hall, was torn down with mud dismay among students and fat ulty. Landiss said people hopet that there would be some wayt saving the building and that® people watched as it wentdoifl 1 Tentatively, the school has deal ed to put a park-like area whert the natatorium and gymnasiuiu now stand.

It is also sad to see that little can be done as such activities have been occurring on a regular basis since the Montre al Canadiens victory in 1986. Whatever the motive for this outlandish behavior, whether it be racially motivated, class moti vated, or just plain celebration enhanced by alcohol, it needs to end. Undoubtedly this is not a per- lence. "This is offensive behavior, and people better wise up," Navratilova said. "We're playing sports, but look what's happened with soccer. They have armed guards on horseback, and dogs, and fences so people can't get into the stadium. This is what the world is coming to. So we shouldn't be that surprised. "This is a sport. This is not a matter of life and death. But I just read in the papers the riots in Chicago were 'nice' ... Gee, what a relief, only two (actually three) people got killed (after the Bulls' NBA victory). You know, $10 mil lion worth of damage in Montreal feet world that we live in, bu the human race is supposed f learn from its mistakes and hat not been doing so over the pas seven years. By no means am I condemn ing celebration and even I havi never been one to turn down party invitation, but to loot ani destroy is pointless, thoughtless and plain childish. after the Canadiens won the Sti ley Cup.
