one-eighth mile jogging track. Below the gymnasium at 11 hand- #

playees.
"It's really a nice place" said Michael Stevenson, associate
director of Recreation, Intramurals and Club Sports. "The con-
struction went right on schedule-ahead, actually. We were hop-
ing for a September opening. This way, we hope to have a lot
of the little problems solved before the students get here."
