Costly pool repairs result in
'indefinite' closing of pool
By Bill Allen
The pool in the UNL Coliseum is closed
indefinitely due to mechancial problems,
according to the sign posted at the en
trance to the pool.
The word "indefinitely" may as well be
"forever," according to the persons involv
ed in keeping the pool open.
Harley Schrader, director of the
physical plant, said the pool is closed now
because maintenance and repair of it is too
costly.
"We could not justify spending that
kind of money on it. It is not used for any
academic purposes or planned student use,
and we have higher priorities for the ex
penditures,"' Schrader said. "The main
function of the university is lor academic
purposes and it (the coliseum pool) wasn't
doinu tiiat," he said.

that ouhei things could go wron;' with tin
pool. I he coli.se: m; pool was onh open to:
open swimming from 11 a.m. to J p.m. on
weekdays. Schrader said the piimary useis
of it were a limited number of faculty
members. However, Kenda Scheele, assist
ant coordinator of university intramtirals
foresees a more dramatic effort from the
closing.
She said it will cut down the number of
open pool hours the intramural department
can offer students.
"We have several intramural events
scheduled in the coliseum pool," she said.
These include inncrtube water polo, regular
water polo, and water basketball.
"With the pool closing we will have to
reschedule these events to the Mabel Lcc
pool, during open pool hours," Scheele
said.
The Mabel Ixc Hall pool now bar open
hours from d:.H) to u p.m. Monday
through Friday and from I to 4 p.m. on
Sunday. Scheele, who said one of her dut
ies is to coordinate coliseum projects, said
the lecieation depaitmeiit is looking into
the possibility of opening the pool on Sat
urday to help offset the leiluced open

trek to and from class Monday, although with temperatures below zero, skipping
class must have been a tempting thought.
