VOL. LXII - NO. 94 University of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. 29208 Thursday, August 10, 1972 P00 The news isn't as exciting as it was back I 1937, but a new olympic-sized swimming po4 will be the second phase of the one-year-ol Physical Education Building. James P. Cooper, director of the center, sai the architects are still working on the plans bi. the pool should be completed by 1974. Coope said the pool will be located behind the P1 center and may be accessable from the rami as well as the rear doors of the men's an women's locker rooms. The indoor facility will be designed to alloi sunbathing, but pool designs are still tenativi Cooper said it has not been determined whi will be done with the indoor pool on SumtE Street, but he said that a number of persor have asked that it not be torn down. The pool was originally built in 1937 and wa the largest in the Southeast at the time. The PE center, which will celebrate its fir; birthday next month, was designed to be bui in three parts "primarily because of funds, Cooper said. "We are just catching up in our facilities, Cooper said, "and all ready we are finding thi we need more space." During the eight month period betwee September and April 65,000 persons used th PE center during the free hours of 4 p.m. to 1 p.m. In addition 50,000 pieces of equipmer were checked out--paddle ball racket4 basketballs, weights, etc. Additional construction includes lighting fc the outdoor basketball and tennis courts with possibility of adding several more tennis couri if feasible. "We are trying to see where we can ad courts now," Cooper said. "You can get on th courts most of the day, except in the late a ternoons, but of course that's the best time I play.'' He said most of the facility, including th tennis courts and outdoor basketball court were experiencing maximum usage. "Intermural basketball is our peak perio< but we try to leave at least one court open aftE 4 p.m. From 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. classes have th first priority," Cooper said, "but students ca play when a court comes open.' He added that while most costs at th university are going up, locker fees by the yea will be lower. Last year the locker fee, whic included laundered shorts, shirt, supporte socks and towel, was $10 a semester, but thi year the charge will be $18 for the fall an spring semesters or $25 for a full year. Th single semester fee will still be $10. Cooper said 800 persons used the lockers the fall of last year and 1200 took advantage < the system in the spring. Any USC membei faculty or staff may rent a locker. ''A lot of students still don't 'know this cente is for everyone,'' Cooper said. ''They think It just for PE majors, but it was designed fc everyone.'' The multi-purpose building Includes ei basketball courts, a squash court, three han( ball courts, a room for dance, archery, weigi lifting, classrooms, endurance testing, physics training room and locker room.
