Bv Robert Weber

There is a m.tjoi (.risis lui mi; the University
that i.annot go unnoticed am longer and, tor
once, the disi ussion doesn't concern the lack of
student parking.
The problem is the lai k of recreational tni ill
ties available to students on an everyday basis
and the only hope for a solution mm rest on the
shoulders of the student l)od\
Ksslinger Hall Cerlinger Hall and the
Uerlinger Annex are the only areas on i -inipus
that are open for student's recreational needs
and all three buildings are used by athlete teams
i lasses, iutramurals and i In!) sports before times
for open recreation are made available
"With the pole vaulters, wrestling and soft
ball teams using the indoor gyms, the times avail
able for open recreation are limited said Karla
Rice, the head of the Recreation and Intramural
Department. "This lack of tai 11 it ios (arises a ma
jor problem for the average student
"If there is no far ibl\ available at .1 rmive
nient time for a student then they must either go
out into the community and pay tor their re< rea
time whir h i\ ill 1 ost money or they pist don't re
create." Hir e said "And either option is not the
solution to the problem
The lack of far ililirs is a major com ern of the

the provision ol facilities to support such vain

Manning also stressed an immediate need lor
a plan, and the identification and reserving ol

ol the Hniversity. hut the building is expensive
and must he litient ed mainly In auxiliary funds
Auxiliary funds are raised by a building tee

the Oregon Hoard ot Higher l.duiatioii and put
into a pot yyilti similar funds collei ted at othei

It appears that the present auxiliary funds
cannot support a project ot this - i/e so the only

Nothing ol importance is going tu happen
until the students come iorth and let the t iuver

and yyiilmg tu do something about it, Vaughn
