moved to the space left vacant by sports information on the east side of the building.
The moves would make room for a women's staff dressing room in the southwest corner, Temple said. The room also would be used by visiting women's teams.
The dressing room is included in second-phase renovation plans, Temple said.
"The high priority is getting the seats ready so we can attract season ticket buyers for basketball," he said. "The women's dressing hall will probably happen within the next fiscal year."
MARIAN WASHINGTON, women's basketball coach, said she had heard only rumors about a new women's dressing room but said she hoped they were true.
"I think it is great if they are planning to add a room," she said. "We need it desperately."
Temple said he did not know what the new
women's locker room would cost. However,
moving the press area would add the
price to about $40,000.
The renovation timable calls for completion of the seating area by Dec. 1, the date of the first breezeway opening.
"It is pretty much on schedule," he said. "We have the assists ordered, and the press tables are ready."
MOVING THE FREES tables to the floor will mean the loss of some press seating, said Sid Cunningham.
"We will be more than able to take care of the working media, however," he said.
There ever was a shortage of space, tables could be added along the baselines, Wilson added.
Wilson said he liked the idea of moving the press to courtside.
"I'm excited about having the media down on them," he said. "It will give them a better flavor of the game."

THE 38-MEMBER TROUPE performed a variety of dances, most of them dealing with some aspect of daily life in Libya.
Dance
The "rememh," or *spar dance*, depicted the joy of hunting and the tremendous energy of the hunter. The men wore the traditional "tware," an outfit of baggys pant, a wide belt, a white tunic that can be tucked in or worn loose, and a blue or red jacket.
According to ancient folklore, shepherds always get together over the noon hour to talk, relax and play games. The light-hearted "raiy"
Lighter clothing was worn in the dances representing the fisherman and the shepherd, who are also traditional members of rural Libyan society.
dance depicted the lunchtime frolicking of the shepherds.
In the "fershim," the dancers portrayed fishermen casting out their nets, hauling them back in and rejoicing over the day's catch.
HAULING WATER IS AN important daily chore in Libya, which is an arid country on the northern coast of Africa. The activity is depicted in many Libyan folk dances.
Women traditionally carry water by filling large jars at the local well and balancing them on their heads as they return to their houses. The daily trips to the well are a chance for men to attract women, who try to prove their attractiveness and worthiness with their skill in carrying the jars.
The women dancers performed several numbers with large clay clays perched on their
heads. Although their hips shook and their arms swayed gracefully, the jaws barely moved.
OTHER DANCES told stories, such as the "twarig" Named after a tribe inhabiting parts of southern Libya, the twarig told the tale of a doddering old man who was rejuvenated by the music and found he could kick up his heels as well as any youngster—for a short while.
The dancers were accompanied by several drums and a "sucrah," an instrument made from a goatkin bag and two cow horns, which sounded like a bagpipe.
The troupe, which has won several gold medals in dancing competitions, has performed in countries such as Belgium, Spain, the Soviet Union, Italy, Switzerland, Britain and the Scandinavian countries.
During the three weeks it has been in the United States, the troupe has given free shows at colleges and universities in five states.
