Court reservation system relieves overcrowding A new reservation system is helping to relieve the over crowding of the racquetball and tennis courts on 15th Avenue. In the three weeks the reser vation system has been in ef fect, lines have been eliminated and community use has de clined, giving University students a greater chance to use the covered tennis and raquetball courts, says Karla Rice, director of the University Intermurals program. In the first 14 days, 325 rac quetball and 75 tennis court reservations were received. Courts are closed for morning PE classes. Reservations have been filled during peak hours — 3:30-8:30 p.m. Rice predicts use It isn’t everyday somebody asks your opinion... and then listens During this month.

Reservations must be .made the day before play in Room 103 Esslinger between 8 a m. and 11:30 a m. The master list is posted in both the room and in the courts. In response to student sug gestions, Rice says she expects to extend the reservation hours until 2:30 p.m. next term and allow reservations for the day of play. “It’s sort of a hassle, having to go to the office the day before,” says Kim Black, who plays in the courts regularly. “I think it’s worth it though. At least you're sure of getting somewhere to play.” But not all players are pleased with the reservation system. “It destroys the spontaneity of play,” says Mike Fiske. “How many people know a day in ad vance when they want to play?” Some people play without re servations, especially on the relatively empty tennis courts. ‘‘I’ve never had a reservation,” said one tennis player. “It’s too much trouble when there’s always empty courts.” The 15th Avenue courts are the only ones on the reservation system. Esslinger racquetball and uncovered tennis courts on 15th Avenue and Alder Street are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Evaluations, as well as sheets expaining the reservation procedure, are available in Room 103 Esslinger.
