Gym extensions

Facilities at the gym are already overtaxed and it is hoped more time will be made available for casual recreation by taking large groups such as karate and fencing out of the main hall into the new small gym. At present nearly everything is set to go except for the financing. At present we are looking to the university to finance the gym extension to the tune of more than $200,000. By making a token increase of $2.00 in our union building fund we will have a better chance of getting this project underway immediately. The contribution to this fund has only been increased by $1.00 since 1971 during which building costs have increased by over 100%. If this building is to be paid for we must have a fee increase as at present inflation may be pushing up the costs by more than the amount that is going into the fund.

Now is the time for sportsmen and women around this campus to act. I will have little sympathy in future for claims of "left-wing domination of student affairs" and "the marxists are stuffing this place up" if more than the usual people do not come out and vote on these important issues. You have got your opportunity and your right. Do something with it
