Field House Expansion To Get Senate Funds
The Student Senate and the athletic department will combine funding resources to expand the recreational facilities in Allen. The new facility will be located in Kansas. Athletic Director, last night.
"We are just in the planning stages at this point," said Walker. "We've got to count our money before we start anything, our business, we will have a proposal prepared soon."
Plans for the renovation of the field house include the installation of an artificial floor, four new basketball courts, new bleachers, new painting and clean-up of the building.
Walker estimated the total cost of the project to be $250,000 to $300,000.
Mert Buckley, Wichita senior and student body president, said last night the senate approved a bill to close the state's
"We have $10,000 collected from student activity fees before 1966 which was designated in 1969 for the improvement of recreational facilities," he said.
Buckley said this money had been frozen until the opportunity to use it arose.
Walker said the athletic department would attempt to match the senate's 50-49 ratio.
"We are working on ideas for a fundraising campaign now. The money we raise will go into the Athletic Improvement Plans and the College's plans to renovate Memorial Stadium," he said.
Walker said he was in the process of different types of synthetic floor covering for his home.
"If everything falls in place financially, we hope to start the renovations sometime this spring and complete the project over summer so it will be ready early next fall."
"I think the new facilities are badly
needed for recreational and intramural purposes, and they should be used by all parties involved in such activities," he said.
The recreational facilities in Allen Field House will be open for the use of all students when they are not being used by the basketball team.
