gyms, two running tracks lay-
ered in high quality cork, a
swimming pool and a host of
specialized rooms designed to
whet the appetite of the most
exercise-conscious user.
But despite the physical ex-
pansion and implementation of
systems designed to equalize
access to playing courts, it's
still been a waiting game for
some facilities. William Can-
ning, department director o?
finance and facilities, notes that
the department's 32 racquetballf
courts "are just as jammed as
the (original) 14 courts eigh?
months ago."
"If we build another 32
courts, we could still fill them,"
he said.
"WE'RE NOT overly crowd-
ed all the time" added Canning.
"It's a problem of educating
people when to come."
Officials believe part of the
reason for the crowding of the
buildings is their newsness.
"I do believe recreation pat-
terns will be changed and peo-
ple will go to the Coliseum and
the old IM building," said Can-
ning.
DESPITE THE fact that the
two new buildings bumped their
older cousins from the recrea-
tional spotlight, officials say
there are many good years left
in the Coliseum and the old IM.
For one thing, the Central and
North Campus structures have
opened the doors for new de-
partment offerings. Many "drop
in" users who once recreated in'
the older structures can now
take advantage of the conven-
iently located new buildings. As
a result, the Sports Coliseum
and the IM Building have be-
come the centers of the depart-
ment's Sports Club and com-
petitive programs, respective-
ly.
"From a physical standpoint,
there's a good deal of work to
be done to upgrade the IM
Snorts Building and the Coli-
seum," said Stevenson. "But
they're basically sound struc-
tures."
LAST YEAR the University
committed $150,000 for the up-
grading of the IM Building, and
the department hopes this sum-
mer to perform cosmetic and
clean-.i p work on both struc-
tures with its own funds. Its top
priority major indoor project
is the re-lighting of the Coli-
seum.
"We'll definitely try to up-
grade tie facilities and maxi-
mize their use," said Steven-
son.
But recreation officials are
looking beyond indoor space,
and have prepared a priority
list of outdoor projects they
hope to see implemented.
TOPPING the list is the im-
provement of the department's
Fuller Road field, a grassy ex-a
panse near University Hospital.
Officials hope to construct stor-
age and comfort facilities. as
well as light and fence the
natch of land for intramural
competition.
Other outdoor plans include:
* The construction of tennis
courts next to the North Cam-
pus Recreation Building.
9 The laying of a fitness trail
along the hilly terrain of North
Campus.
* Lighting for the Palmer Field
tennis courts
Stevenson, however, admits
that funding of these projects
noses a problem, and doesn't
believe the University is in the
nosition to pick up the entire
tab.
"WE IIXVE to generate our
own monev. ad4PV~~n
officials hoping to tap the Uni-
versity's coffers.
"I am very favorably inclin-
ed (towards recreation)," said
Fleming, "but the difference
between being favorably in-
clined and funding is quite
wide."
As for program expansion,
Stevenson says the department
has increased the scope of its
competitive and Sports Club
programs. But the bulk of inno-
vation and expansion appears
to be in the realm of "informal"
offerings.
"WE WANT TO provide a
continuum of recreational op-
portunity so each person can
meet his own recreational need
in his own fashion," said Ann
Carney, director of informal re-
creation.
That continuum now includes
weekend recreation programs
for youngsters, "partner" pro-
grams for disabled users, fam-
ily programs, clinics, and in-
centive programs such as the
department's popular "Run for
Your Life" campaign, to name
a few.
Informal recreation need not
constitute exertion, either.
Last month's party and show-
ing of the "Godfather" at the
Central Campus Recreation
Building was part of the ex-
panding informal agenda.
AND, ACCORDING to Carney,
"there is a definite one-to-one
correlation between the ex-
pansion of facilities and pro-
family and youngster programs
because married housing is just
a stone's throw away.
"What we're trying to get
across is that you should learn
the true value and enjoyment
of recreation," said Carney. "It
should be something that you
want to do in your leisure time.
We try to get families playing
with their kids."
Carney credits a sizable staff
with the success of the infor-
mal programs, particularly the
children's program, in which
supervision is imperative. Two
sessions are offered - one for
3 to 6-year-olds, and another
for 7 to 10-year-olds. During
their weekly two-hour romps,r
the kids are supervised in gym-
nasium and track activities, and
receive individual attention in
the North Campus swimming
pool. Carney estimates 100 chil-
dren are serviced now - most
of whom are offspring of stu-
dents and staff - and says that
more are on a waiting list.
"We have had not one com-
plaint about the kids," said,
Carney. "Once you orient the
children to a routine, they
don't go wild around the build-
ing."
The National Geographic
Society was founded in 1888,
"for increasing and diffusing'
geographic knowledge and pro-
moting research and explor-

German TA Doug Finton. So he
too makes an effort to sprinkle
slides and bits of culture in be-
tween verb conjugations and

the teacher to make it interest-

FINTON DEFENDS the' re-
quirement in part because a
second language is "part of
the standard equipment in the
jet age" we live in. But since
the fear of flying is widespread
the German Department has a
special class for science stu-
dents and others who might ex-
pect difficulties in language.
Latin instructors are in the

ulum to allow students to choose

ever.
Sophomore Rork Kuick al-
lows that it "depends what
you're doing", but that "with
most majors you can make an
argument for a language". He
also reports that students in
other countries study a great
deal more foreign language in
school as a matter of course.
Perhaps Rick Ross has the
best attitude on campus. The
aspiring freshman, who appar-
ently does well with his for-
eign language, doesn't mind his
long hours over the books. "It's
helping my grade point", he ex-
plains.

However, with the depart-

that the University might tell
the department to exercise self-
si fficiency in its projects.
"If the University does that,
it puts a program like this in a

You never seem to hear
about the people who
are cured of cancer. I
am one of them.
My cancer was dis-
covered early. Because
I went for a PAP test
regularly.
I want you to have a
PAP test. Make an
appointment for one
right now. And keep
having the test regu-

your life.
The rest of your

SAMUEL FULLER NIGHT
Revered in every country but his own, Samuel Fuller, "the
American primitive," Is one of the unique directors in film history.
As Andrew Sarris said 'Fuller's films must be seen-not heard, or
synopsized." Here' a a re chance to see two of his best films.
SHOCK CORRIDOR
(Samuel Fuller, 14963) 7 onv-MLB 4
The other side of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. A
Pulitzer-Prize chasing journalist sets out to investigate condi-
tions in a mental hospital and finds himself slowly losing his
sanity. One of Fuller's personal favorites, its first run in Paris
lasted for years. Photographed by Stanley Cortez. "SHOCK
CORRIDOR is first and foremost a film about hate."-Samuel
Fuller, Peter Breck, Constance Towers, James Best.
THE NAKED KISS
(Samuel Fuller, 1464) 9 only-MLB 4
"In THE NAKED KISS, I go even further than in SHOCK COR-
RIDOR."-Samuel Fuller. A protitute one day notices a wrinkle
on her face and decides to change her was and save her youth.
She tries to live normally but becomes increasingly alienated
from the way "normal" people live. Again, a gripping film that
must be seen to be believed. "Film is like a battleground: love,
hate, action, violence, death . . . In one word EMOTION."-Samuel
Fuller. Constance Towers, Tony Esley, Michael Dante.
Admission: $2.00 double feature
$1.25 single feature
