Show B4 M o n d a y , A u g u s t 8, 2005 DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE A great place to sweat How to use the recreational facilities on the U campus Catherine Callister Chronicle Writer Working while getting a double major in math and physics can be very stressful, and senior Luis Allen likes to relieve that stress by going running every day in the Field House. The Field House is just one of the many recreation facilities that is open to U students. Other facilities include the HPER complex and the golf course. The Field House Located across from Rice-Eccles Stadium, the Field House is a place where students can exercise between classes. To use the Field House, one needs to be a member of Campus Recreation, but students become members simply by paying their standard student fees, including a 512.98 recreation fee. To get into the Field House, students just have to show their UCards at the door. Once inside, students have access to circuit weights, cardio machines, indoor tennis courts, handball/racquetball courts, squash courts, a 200-meter jogging track and a dance studio. "I don't have to worry about (finding) a machine—I'm almost always able to get on what I want," said Danell Hathaway, who works in the modern dance department. Student Chad Holmes, a senior in business, often goes to the Field House to lift weights and do aerobics. Though he likes the cardio equipment, Holmes describes the current weights as "kind of weak." That will change before school starts. According to Cheri Jenkins, associate director for Campus Rec, the Field House has purchased a brand new set of free weights as well as plate-loaded weights. The new weight room will be on one of the tennis courts. HPER Located next to the Huntsman Center, HPER is where many of the university's fitness courses, such as basketball, aerobics, yoga and racquetball, are taught. HPER is also home to gymnasiums for basketball and volleyball, a weight room, racquetball courts, two swimming pools and a diving well. Currently, the diving well is closed as workers complete a five-month construction project tofixthe pipes under the well that were leaking water. Around the beginning of school, the diving well will reopen, this time with a new diving board, aquatics supervisor Shawn Franklin said. Golf The U is home to a nine-hole golf course that students can play on for $4 per game. Cost for non-students is $7- For students who play a lot, the golf course offers a deal where students pay $35 up front and then si for every subsequent game they play. ccallister@ chronicle.utah.edu Scott Aucuit, of the United States Geological Survey team, crushes the ball while at bat during an Intramural softball game.

Keeping campaign promises Student politicians let students know how to get their money's worth Aaron Vaughn Chronicle Writer The student government plans to make the student experience better this Fall Semester by hosting campaign parties to make sure that students know everything their tuition is paying for and how to get their money's worth out of theU. Some of the specific dates have yet to be determined, but the leaders of the Associated Students of the University of Utah are set to host a series of sporadically spaced campaign parties outside of the Union. The student leaders intend on having tables with free food and handouts of information for students to consume and digest. "It's just an opportunity for us to help students get aware about what the issues are without actually campaigning for votes," said Lorraine Evans, ASUU Student Outreach director. "We would like to let (students) know what we think ASUU is doing," she said. John Poelman, ASUU vice president, said that many campus services that students pay for are not used. By throwing campaign parties, he added, they will effectively inform the masses of students returning in the fall, "The tutoring is subsidized as well as some of the child-care services...we have really low rates," Poelman said. "There is s8o,ooo available for student clubs and organizations," Poelman added. The parties start Sept. 12-17 and are slated to occur every other month. If students miss the campaign parties or are looking for a different way of learning about upcoming student government sponsored events, ASUU has an online alternative called U-Life. U-Life acts as both a calendar for Uhosted events and activities and as a place for students to post or advertise their own events. Poelman said that ASUU plans to place an oversized calendar in the west entrance lobby of the Marriott Library. At least three campus events should be updated every day on the calendar. Poelman worries that if students do not act upon some of the discounts and campus freebees, the student administration will simply sit on the money until the next round of elections. avaughn@ chronicle.utah.edu Delphi PORTABLE X M SATELITE RADIO UPSET ABOUT Now you can lake satellite radio wilh you wherever you go; at home, in the car, the gym or store.
