"It's really a crime that the building is not being used to its
full potential," complained assistant IM director Ken Nemerouski.!
"The past few nights there have only been about three people
there."
The problem may be from the warm weather Ann Arbor has
been having lately, encouraging more outdoor activities.1
The Coliseum is open from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.-on Saturday, and from
1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Sundays.
Between the hours of 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. on week-
days, the building is available for tennis on a reservation
basis for one hour only. Reservations are taken between 9:30
and 10:30 on the day you wish to play by calling 763-5195.'
Weekdays from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. the building is re- 1
served for women only.2
The men's intramural program has already begun this year
with softball. Paddleball, raquetball and soccer will be coming
up next in the all-campus division with entries being due on
Sept. 15. The fraternities are to turn in entries for water polo
today and for tennis by tomorrow, Sept. 15.
The next important date for co-recreational sports is Sept. 15,
when entries for tennis and golf are due.
