The Beef Box
Tennis court etiquette apalls waiting players
B;/ KEN DOCTOR
Of the Emerald
Dear Beef Box: Yesterday, a
friend of mine and I waited
nearly an hour and a half for a
tennis court. Some people finally
vacated the court; we took it, but
15 minutes later, we were thrown
off it by a tennis class. Couldn’t
we please have some organized
system of getting a tennis court?
UNCOURTED
Dear Uncourted: I bounced
over to the courts myself to check
out the rules. In addition to those
requiring tennis shoes and proper
court etiquette, rule number
three specifies that when people
are waiting for the use of a court,
“doubles should be played.” and
“play should be limited to one
hour.” At the bottom of the rule
displaying placard, there ap
pears the following warning :
“Persons Failing to Comply with
These Regulations May Be Asked
to Leave.”
Then, again, they may not.
Last year, the P.E. Department
attempted to engage a paid
supervisor to keep non
University people off the courts
and enforce the rules They were
unable to because of — you
guessed it — budgetary
limitations.
Karla Rice, chairer of the
University Recreation Coor
dinating Committee, plans on re
submitting a new plan this year
which would provide for a full
time supervisor to be financed by
a “user’s fee.” She welcomes
comment on the plan, so call ext.
3389. which may solve your
problem in the long run.
In the short run, you could
follow the advice of Mike Reuter
of the Men’s P.E. Department —
raise a racket! When faced with
inconsiderate court-holders,
Reuter suggests that, “You go up
and tell them the rules.” Of
course, depending on your size,
you may want to be armed with
more than righteous indignation
and the rules of the court! Good
luck.
Dear Beef Box: A few days ago
I went to the transcript office to
order transcripts for graduate
school applications. Some of the
schools I am applying to require
pre-graduation deadlines for
applications, but I must send a
complete transcript upon
graduation I asked if the office
sent a supplement upon
graduation, and was told no; I’d
have to crane back later and pay
the fee again and so forth. I don’t
mind going in and requesting a
supplement, but I do mind paving
the whole fee again. It seems to
me. especially if the student only
has to send one transcript (to his
final choice of school), that he
should not have to pay $2 twice. A
Xerox copy is five cents, and the

official sticker and seal can’t be
much more. Perhaps a sup
plement (giving just the quarters
since the first transcript) could
be available for 50 cents or so?
C.H.
Dear C.H.: The logic of your
idea flies in the face of the ac
cumulated rules and regulations
of the State System of Higher
Education. While you look at the
procedure in terms of the product
received, the price charged is
computed on the basis of the
service provided.
Assistant Registrar Dorothy
Brown informs us that the State
System of Higher Education
establishes the fee structure and
that the Registrar’s Office is
merely a collecting agency. As
well as determining the amount
of charges, it sets up criteria
concerning when the charges will
be assessed.
“Every time you order one (a
transcript) the fee would apply,”
Brown adds.
While your idea of a sup
plement appears most
reasonable, it seems such
practice is outlawed by the same
State System: “We never send a
partial transcript or just the
portion that the student wants,”
the Assistant Registrar further
explained.
Anyhow, the copying of the
official record is but one of a
number of steps — retrieving,
typing, filing, mailing and
replacing are also involved — in
securing a transcript. No matter
what part of the transcript is
needed, many busy hands must
paw that graded anthology of
your collegiate career and that
takes money.
Maybe you can take con
solation in the fact that you only
have to pay once every four years
and that, in the long run, it is a
small ransom to pay considering
the gargantuan joys of unem
ployment, poverty and anxiety
which graduation may bring you.
The Beef Box eagerly solicits
your outpourings of grief,
anguish and awful anger, be they
directed to those souls in or out of
the campus community. Gather
them into a paper-like device and
send them to The Beef Box. care
