consideration was to build the courts in the fieldhouse “With Logan’s climate what it is they could be used year round instead of six months out of the year” Monson said He said the lot is used by people from the PE Department the Vet Science building the Physical Plant and the teachers and staff at Edith Bowen V Students Supportive “So far the administration has been very supportive of the
