Show TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 29, 1987 THE THUNUERBiRD New improvements greet students BY LISA ROBINSON the plan for total automation of the sprinkling system. This should keep students from "getting watered," and will help with the drainage of excess water. The new parking lot will be a general parking area for all students, and not used just used for the Centrum, although Slack adds, it will help with the parking situation during Centrum programs. The new tennis courts, which will be built on the west end of campus are to replace the old ones taken out of the sloped area near the Centrum. Michael Richards, vice president for college relations, said the tennis courts were taken out for two reasons. First to improve the landscaping on the slope and also because the courts were cracked and pitted. Richards said the new courts will be great for recreation and can be used for instruction too, "something that they have never really been able to do before." These changes are just the latest in a continuing plan to improve the campus. Richards said that the Stadium has already received a new sound system and some bleacher seats in time for Homecoming. On the current construction Slack said "We are trying to get all of the messy parts done first so we won't inconvenience students." students" SUSC students will benefit from many changes taking place on campus this year, said Gordon Slack, director of the physical plant. The changes, mostly taking place on the campus's west end by the Centrum, include six new tennis courts, a new Student Center, a paved parking lot with 300 parking spaces, an improved entryway to the football field, mechanized sprinkler systems, building settlement programs, and landscaping. The entire project should be completed by June 30, 1988, said Slack, but many things will be finished long before then. The dorms have just been remodeled, said Slack. Residents in campus housing will notice the new phones, cable hookups, and other improvements in the resident hall. Also, the parking lot will probably be done in two to three weeks, as well as the tennis courts. Improvements such as drainage of water around the Science Center should be finished in a month, and the Student Center's completion can be expected by said Slack. "The rest of the improvements will be continuing into next spring," he said. One thing Slack said will be "a relief for . y, THE is knowledge and information." The class will be offered on Tuesdays at 1 1 a.m. during fall, winter and spring quarters. The class alternates each week between large and small groups. The large groups include the entire class and they meet in the Thorley Recital Hall where faculty and ASSUSC leaders discuss topics ranging from student involvement to college history, according to Kingsford, who is serving her third year as freshman orientation supervisor. Each class is broken down into small groups and will meet with a separate adviser who will help the student with his or her individual needs. 11 HOSE STORE. SOPRANO RECORDERS $3.45 EACH.
