Page 10-Thursday, February 9, 1978-The Michigan Daily Sports facilities wil be renovated By LEONARD BERNSTEIN Good news may be in store for the legions of racquetball fanatics frus- trated at the crowded conditions of University courts. Additional courts will be a top pri- ority item when an ad hoc committee on recreational sports presents an estimated $600,000 proposal to the Advisory Committee on Recreation, Intramurals - and Club S p o r t s (ACRICS) on Friday. Michael Stevenson, director of rec- reational sports, said the six-part proposal for renovation was prompt- ed byan "insatiable demand for rec- reation." THE NEW COURTS are slated for the Sports Coliseum on Fifth Ave. and Hill, on order to relieve the strain on the Central Campus Recreation Building. Other work on the Coliseum will include better lighting, weight and training rooms, a sound system, golf cages, new paint for the interior and possibly an outlined track on the basketball court, Stevenson said. The estimated cost of this work is $200,000. According to Stevenson, second priority will go to lighting the sixteen Palmer Field tennis courts as a cost of about $30,000. Next on the list is refurbishing the comparatively un- derused IM building at State and Hoover to include both a men's and women's sauna, along with repaint- ing and carpeting the locker rooms. Stevenson said this may cost an additional $30,000. LESSER PRIORITY proposals in- clude work on Fuller Field (pending decision on the placement of the University's new hospital), six new tennis courts adjacent to the North Campus Recreation Building, and improvement of lighting on East Bell Field and the basketball courts adja- cent to East Quad. Bill Canning, associate director of recreational sports, said no plans for funding the improvements have yet been devised. "But hopefully we can work out some strategies at the meeting," he added. The Ad Hoc Recreation Committee consists of Thomas Morehead of the Office of Student Services, students Jim Jamerson and David Sichel, Canning, and Stevenson. IF ACRICS approves the propos- als, they would then be submitted to the Office for Academic Affairs under Vice-President Harold Sha- piro. Stevenson declined to speculate on the outcome of Friday's meeting, but mentioned that the ad hoc committee includes one-third of the Daily Photo by WAYNE CABLE If University plans pull through, lines like this to beat the 5:30 phone rush for racketball court reservations may be only a memory for Fred Martin and Shelley Freedman. so ~ , Fourth Printing $7.95, now at your bookstore .ARRAR STRAUS e GIROUX ACRICS members. Stevenson said there is also a need for long-range expansion of recrea- tion facilities. Within the term, an ACRICS committee will be appointed to study five, ten, and twenty year plans for indoor and outdoor im- provements.University planners will Friday Nights at Wiest Bank M Is BO COMBO NIGH T work with the committee. Because of the recent construction of the two new recreation buildings and tight state funds, Stevenson said any new structures will have to be financed with student dollars. He said this could mean an increase in student recreation fees. According to Stevenson, if the cost of future facilities comes'close to the $7.5 million spent on the Central and North Campus Recreation buildings, the fees would have to double from the current $10 per term. Another possibility would be to increase the fee paid by faculty and staff from this term's $30, he said.

ACCORDING TO police reports, Hakney, who was driving the gar- bage truck, started backing in order to turn around. The truck then knocked Ragland over and ran over him with the rear wheels.

AT MONDAY night's Council meeting, Councilman Louis Belcher (R-Fifth Ward) summed up the problem: "They (the townships) could not accept our health from a health standpoint. If you could give us some help in getting rid of our sludge, we can be more than helpful with (their) septage." The most viable means of dispos- ing of Ann Arbor's sludge is mixing the brown matter with soil in open fields. Although few such fields are available inside the city limits, the neighboring townships have many prime sites. The townships don't want the sludge and claim this is because it contains too many inorganic wastes, particularly the chemical PCB. So far, both Superior and Augusta townships have refused to take Ann Arbor's sludge. Other localities have not shown an interest either. UNTIL A method to remove the sludge is found, the city cannot begin to build its. proposed new sewage treatment plant. The area's town- ships will also use the plant. So the city and the townships have reached a standoff on sludge and septic disposal. "They both have a problem and they seem to be opposing each other," said Barry Johnson of the Washtenaw County heath office. "The townships have land where the sludge can be worked into the soil." Meanwhile, the problem of what to do with the septic waste continues to grow worse, especially with the coming of spring, the peak season for septic waste. "The problem is, we don't have a place to dispose of it," Johnson said. "And we're approaching the critical period rapidly." Unn norevival planned Continued from Pagel) tivities Center (UAC) president, who has been studying new possibilities for increased student space activity since the campus-wide controversy over the razing of Waterman-Barbour Gym- nasium a year ago, said, "We expect it to happen and would be pretty sur- prised if it didn't." Carnevale added that now is the "'ideal time" for a student center. In a memo summarizing the views of the faculty's Senate Assembly Commit- tee on University Affairs (SACUA), Education Professor Charles Lehmann said SACUA is "at the moment agreeably disposed to student initiatives for change in the management, governance and physical appearance of the Michigan Union." Lehmann also noted that professors support a faculty club. "of some sort," but that that doesn't necessarily mean I S.
