Shuffling is out, squeaking
is in. The gym at the College
will never be the same.
After a rash of injuries to
athletes, mainly in the area of
sore backs and twisted ankles,
and a sporadic thinning and
deterioration of the rubber­
based tartan surface, the Col­
lege Board of Education ap­
proved an $85,822 expenditure
to have a maple floor installed
on top of the tartan.
Activity on a tartan floor
sounds a lot like a sock hop,
while activity on a wood sur­
face sounds like a beginners
violin lesson.
The work was completed
last Friday and soon the
school and community will be
squeaking their way up and
down the freshly-varnished
hardwood floor.
The College made the deci­
sion to cover the floor with
wood after considering three
options explored by a gym
floor committee. The options
included putting a 1/8-inch-
thick covering of tartan down
on the floor at a cost of
$54,000, covering the main
basketball floor with maple
and leaving the tartan on the
sides of the gym at a cost of
$70,000, or covering the floor
completely.

coach and a member of the
gym floor committee, said he

thought the school would have
made up the difference bet­
ween the cost of putting a new
layer of tartan down and in­
stalling the maple flooring
would be made up in just three
or four years.
“Of all the criteria we look­
ed at,” Jim Roberts, dean of
student services and floor
committed chairman said,
