Six handball courts to be completed
Handball players may not have to wait in the cold for a court in a few weeks, although they may have to play in the cold.
KU will soon be getting six new handball courts, located behind the new Robinson gym. There will also be five new tennis courts.
KU Superintendent of Construction, Bruce Snodgrass, said the entire project will cost $35,000.
William P. Smith, Dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture and director of the Center for Research in Engineering Sciences at KU, has been elected vice-president of Eta Kappa Nu, national honor society in electrical engineering.
The courts are constructed of wood, other than the wooden walls themselves, there will be no provision for heat in cold weather.
The society has a membership of over 50,000 of the top electrical engineering graduates from leading colleges and universities. Founded in 1904 at the University of Illinois, Eta Kappa Nu today has 110 student chapters and 12 alumni chapters throughout the United States.
The courts may be removed for additional space for tennis games. Although the handball courts are not temporary, they may be taken down if there seems to be more demand for tennis than handball.
