Field House Story

Proposed in a Final Report to President Eliot next month is the idea of limited memberships to spouses of students, faculty and the alumnai association. This membership would include full use of facilities such as racquet ball and tennis courts a weight room and gymnasium. Also dis- cussed in the report is the ath- letic fee that Full-time students pay every year, and whether a new or increased fee will be im- posed fo ruse of the complex. Ed Hilton, Athletic director at UPEI does not blieve a new fee will be imposed, but it still has not been determined.

The Athletic fee provides stu- dents with the chance to get in- volved in intramural programs,

aerobic classes, use of all equip- ment, and much more.

So keep an eye open for the opening of UPEI’s new Field House.
