"This program is used much more extensively by students than any other one on campus I can think of.

"We probably go through 30 basketballs a year," said Jacobsen, "but all equipment is free to be checked out at . no charge except handballs and paddleballs. We have to charge for them because they wear out really fast and we have to buy new ones." He said volleyballs, 'horseshoes, 'horse-shoes, Softball equipment, footballs and more can be checked out "for things like picnics or anything else." Of the $35,000, about $10,000 each is funded from the College of Health and the Associated Students Stu-dents of the University of Utah (ASUU). The rest comes from faculty fac-ulty and staff fees.
