Changes add new look to weight room
By Daniel West
Oogcvs Dfrfy { m&ax)
The Harry Jerome Weight
Room has a new look because of
a recent Sfl.OOO renovation.
The weight room was moved
because the area was too small,
and when it was relocated it
gained about 1.000 square feet.
The renovation in« hided new
weight racks, machines and .1
new stereo.
Although the weight room is
currently open for student use, it
isn't complete A ventilation
system will be finished soon
and mirrors will be added.
T like it. it's a big improve
ment." said junior Ben de Sug
ny. "I like having all new
weights and machines to work
out on and the rubber mats real
ly cut down on noise from
weight being thrown down "
However, along with the reno
vations comes the burden of a
student user fee. Beginning
today, a user's pass will be
required in order for students to
use the new facilities. The pass
costs $15 per term or $40 a year.
The faculty are also required to
purchase a pass, which will cost
$50 per term or $150 a year.
The faculty pass includes pool
use and locker service. These
passes will be available for pur
Sophomore Paul Kalil (front) and frashman Jaff Ventura (back) work
out on lag curl machines at the Harry Jerome weight room.

the money will go toward pav
ing for student supervisors,
upgrading the equipment and
maintenance.
The issue of a student fee first
arose last spring when the phys
ical education department dis
tributed a questionnaire asking
students if they were willing to
pav a small foe it the weight
room wore remodeled
■"The survey < onduc teii was
positive. A majority of the stu
dents agreed to pay a small price
for a new gym." said Karla Rice.

funding of the weight room RIM

supervisor through the t oliege

suggested RIM trim its budget
Now the weight room has to
find wavs to pay fur budget cuts
"We hope th.it students
understand what’s happening
and are happy about the new
equipment." Rice said
This isn’t the i ase with all stu
dents Some students are upset
that they’re now being charged
for the use of the weight tai ill
ties and question whether the
renovation is even worth the lee
"I don’t feel that I should have
to pay for the use of the weight
room when I pay $900 a term lor
tuition,’’ said senior Anthony
Willey I feel that the old gym
was set up much better There
was much more spai e to do
