Mi'IDAY, $EPTEMBER 15, 1967 4,Pool By FRED LaBOUR Daily News Analysis The creaky roof that has at- tempted to shelter the University's weakened intramural program from the problems of neglect, lack of planning, lack of funds and an amazing lack of communication, has literally begun to crumble. On Tuesday night a section of the IM pool ceiling collapsed and crashed down into the pool area. The pool was not in use at the time and there were no casualties. It appears, however, that it will not reopen for what associate di- rector of intramurals Dr. Rodney Grambeau calls "an indefinite per- iod of time." According to Gram- 1-beau, the collapse was apparently caused by rain and melted snow seeping through the decrepit roof and weakening the beam structure. Five Year Delay Theoretically, the IM building was due for a new roof five years ago but a frustrating maze of bu- reaucratic red tape and an admin- istration that appears to be deaf to the entire IM problem have prevented any constructive work from being accomplished. This story of delayed action be- cause of administrative bungling is repeated again and again by Grambeau as he reflects on the current IM situation. "There is ab- solutely no coordination between projects or plans on campus," he says. "We are not even in com- munication with the people who are supposed to be working on our recommendations. Our hands are tied." Grambeau cites the Wines Field redevelopment project to illumin- ate his point. Wines Field was sup- posed to be graded and replanted over the summer. The field itself was to be laid out so as to include Behind Closed Doors (Continued from Page 8) another sense. It exists in a polit- teal environment, and must res- pond to the wishes and desires of its constituent groups. One final base to be touched is student participation on the Board. For many years, this is one area where the students have had a role in decision-making. I am not sure this apparatus always operated as well as it does now, but as far as my experience is concerned, I have been deeply impressed by the attention given to the student position. The Board has always appeared anxious to obtain the views of its student members, who have an equal vote with all other representatives. This does not mean that I al- ways agree with Board decisions, being in the minority on more than one issue in the past year. However, I feel that the student view is being listened to in a constructive environment. Pekhaps, the Athletic Board is not a perfect forum, but I have found it to be an honest one. With the emperor now dethroned, we proceed to problems. NEXT WEEK: Conclusion - The Big Squeeze. THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE NINE Ceiling Si gnfies Collapse Chicago Hangs On With Win *4 ERA TERNITY DR. RODNEY GRAMBEAU more playing space and a $50,0001 lighting system.1 As any disgruntled student wio1 has attempted to use the field will tell you, none of the improvements have gotten beyond the planning stage. Is There a Schedule? 'We don't even know what the schedule is for the field," declared Grambeau. "At least If we had. some idea we could replan our pro- gram for this year, but we can't even do that. We also have reason to believe that the specific type of lighting that we had recommend- ed will not even be implemented. We wanted lights on the field as well as all around it to provide maximum illumination, but ap- parently the lights will be placed on the perimeter of the field only. This is to make room for some kind of 'parade ground' that we know nothing about." Another worrisome problem for the IM department is the critical situation involving the hundreds of students living in recently com- pleted housing on North Campus. "There is," says Grambeau, "no plan whatsoever for organized rec- reation on North Campus. The ad- ministration failed to make any allowance for recreation in the plans for the residence halls." Disorganized The IM department has at- tempted to include the North Campus residents in Central Cam- pus activities by combining four of the houses and making them into two composite units. This move was possible because two houses on Central Campus with- drew from competition, as one was converted to a girls' unit and one to graduate housing. Even these steps are not nearly enough, according to Grambeau. "The University makes them live out there but then refuses to pro- vide facilities and staff for an ade- quate program of recreation. Log- ically, the extra money for facili- ties should have been included in the building budgets, but obviously it wasn't." The house directors from North Campus submitted a plan to the IM department designed to give everybody a chance at the lim- ited facilities. They proposed a lottery to decide which houses would be allowed to participate in each sport. Grambeau rejected the proposal, saying "It would have wrecked the system as we have it now. If it had gone through, any semblance of competition between Swingline Test yourself... What do you see in the ink blots? [1] A sizzling steak? Ten dancers? A rabbit? houses would disappear as a team's chances were decided by the luck of the draw." "What the North Campus situ- ation boils down to is this," states Grambeau: "We'll have two touch football teams for 1200 men." The only completed all-purpose recreation unit on North Campus has apparently gotten a heavy, workout so far this year. The units are designed to provide a; maximum number of basketball, tennis and volleyball courts with- in the smallest possible area. A series of these units is to be com- pleted sometime in the fairly near future but no one is quite sure when.! Grambeau was quick to point out his lack of trust in the joint swimming pool agreement between the University and the city of Ann Arbor. The Regentsappropri- ated $212,000 out of an already deficient IM budget to aid the city in construction of an Olym- pic sized pool to be placed be- tween North Campus and Central Campus. Oh, Thank You In return for the monetary co- operation, University students will be allowed to use the pool several times during the week, to swim during warm weather and skate in the winter months. "They expect this to solve the North Campus problem," says Grambeau. "It's only a drop in the bucket." With the IM situation shifting from the merely ludicrous to the physically dangerous, as evidenc- ed by the roof collapse, Grambeau senses the need for a drastic change in University policy. "We're usually ranked about fifth in the country on most things," he says. "But on IM's we'd be lucky if we were in the top 500. The other schools in the Big Ten, especially Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin, are making tremendous progress in these areas. Elsewhere around the country, UCLA, a school with a much greater problem as far as being spread out goes, has a well balanced and vigorous program. Tradition? "Michigan traditionallyhas led the way in many areas," he con- tinues. "Why do we have to be so far behind everybody else in -this one? "What we need at this point is a campus director of recreation. Somebody to coordinate and over- see everything that is going on. Somebody who will take respon- sibility for the mistakes. Some- body who has lines of communi- cation open to him so he can plan in a more than haphazard manner."
