Sfe a THE STUDENT NEWS AND VIEWS OF SOUTHERN UTAH STATE COLLEGE CEDAR CITY, UTAH -- Campus pool closed for repair of cracks by Ralph Schriock Cedar Citys soil compaction problem, which has damaged several buildings on campus, has cracked the deep end of the SUSC swimming pool. Steve Lunt, athletic department chairman, said the pool should be closed for no more than a few weeks. We were told theyre going to have it repaired in a week, he said. Rulon Jolley, custodial supervisor, said Friday that no estimates can be made on the cost or time required for repairs until holes are drilled to find the exact problem Its never cracked in that spot before, he said, noting that soil compaction is the probable cause of the damage. Well just drill some holes along the crack and pump in cement Then well pump in some epoxy. The pool developed two cracks several feet long in the deep end Lunt said the cracks were discovered Thursday, although the pool had lost several inches of water a few days before. I think we caught it before anything really serious happened, Jolley said Similar cracks developed in the pools shallow end about eight years ago, Lunt said Ground settlement on the campus has caused problems in 17 buildings, and the settlement has worsened in the last few vears because of excess moisture, say college officials To prevent similar problems under the $8 million Centrum, now under construction, almost 200 cement caissons have been planted, adding to the buildings price tag Quiet floors designated After setting aside floors for athletes in Jumper Hall last quarter, housing officials will give equal space to students who just want a little quiet. Beginning with winter quarter, all of the dormitorys 100 floors will enforce quiet hours, and Director of Resident Living Steve McKibben said the idea has been very favorably received. Weve had a lot of demand for this, he said. People have been asking to move onto those floors McKibben said the quiet floors, designed for the serious student, will not necessanly be like a monastery. Certainly people can listen to their own stereo or TV, he noted They can use headphones or even just shut their door Weve lust had students before who leave their door open and their stereo blasting And to make sure those floors stay quiet, students who dont mind noise can move to different floors, McKibben said, adding, Theres going to be a lot of peer pressure to be quiet In the meantime, the Jacuzzi, sauna and weight lifting facilities planned for fall quarter are now complete, just in time for winter quarter use. McKibben said hours will be posted to give each floor time at the Jacuzzi and sauna, along with special hours for men and . women 24-ho- At times Wednesday the lines to register for school or pay tuition and fees were so long they wound down the stairs of the adn.inistration building. After a frustrating day for students and administrators, Provost Terry Alger announced that the deadline for registration and paying fees had been extended until the end of the week, and that no late fee would be charged until then. |
