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. I he top. ins to the pool would he quite cosilv. Sdiiadet said.

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 le.uis n- ! hci ha1.1, ''uel. v the ch 'sini' is that lb lev i e j i 1 1 -!i d'.. p.u tmcnt w iil not have a . ! !.-. oflVr ( u'Umu Ml v -i ela'i'd i;roiips. if"; s :! the v i liseimi pool have ;i .1 ,:si 'cciu i. .! leivnt Iv .
