Tennis: Track and courts open this winter
Continued from page 1
department and PARS paid the
remaining cost.
PARS was able to use money left
over from a $10 million bond referen
dum passed by students, initially ear
marked to remodel the recreation
center. Students pay $15.25 each
term for the recreation center bond.
The new courts will meet Division
I standards. Varsity tennis athletes
will share the courts with Club
sports, an arrangement that excites
Club Sports Director Sandy Vaughn.
“We’re assuming that more courts
on campus will be open to our use,”
she said. “This is helping us accom
plish a very long-running goal.”
Students will be able to reserve
court time, Munroe said.
“We feel strongly that part of our
mission is to accommodate drop-in
recreation,” he said. “We purposely
put unscheduled time during
prime-time.”
A 400-meter track will encircle the
tennis courts. Munroe said the new
track is an improvement on the old
warm-up track used by track and
field athletes.
Housing collaborated with the ath
letic department and PARS to find the
ideal location for the new courts.
The group agreed to build on the
open space immediately south of
Hayward Field. Previously, the loca
tion consisted of several grass fields
and a warm-up track used by track
and field athletes.
Hayward Field is being considered
as a prospective host site for the 2008
U.S. Olympic Trials, and Munroe
hopes the new warm-up track will in
crease the quality of Hayward in the
eyes of the selection committee.
“The early indication was they
liked this new development,” he said.
New lighting will allow students to
use the track during open hours.
Depending on the weather, the ten
nis courts and track will be open for
limited use this winter. The addition
of two new grass fields will not be
ready for use until late spring.

Indigenous: 'Great reason to come together'
Continued from page 1
“It’s a hard issue because I’m
mixed. Part of me wouldn’t be here if
it wasn’t for Columbus,” she said. “It’s
just a great way for people to come to
gether and a great reason to
come together.”
Other people came to the events,
sponsored by NASU, the Multicultural
Center and the Wayne Morse Center
for Law and Politics, to support wiping
Columbus Day from the calendar.
“We’re still moving to get that taken
off the calendar completely and have
Indigenous Solidarity Day replace it,”
said Snake Harrington, another NASU
co-director.
Harrington, a junior studying envi
ronmental science, said he wants to
change the holiday to one that has
meaning to native people.
Multimedia design major Chris
Birke — who didn’t realize it was
Columbus Day until he passed an in
formational table, where he was given
a red bandana — likened celebrating
Columbus Day to celebrating a “Holo
caust Day.”
“I think they have a perfectly legiti
mate cause that has come to light due
to advances in public education,” he
said.
