Addition to the Coliseum is under wav
By Tim Hartmann
Senior Reporter_
As the construction next to the
Coliseum indicates, the second phase
of the Student Recreation Center/
Coliseum Renovation is under way.
Stan Campbell, the director of
campus recreation, said Phase I-A of
the project, which was the completion
of the Cook Pavilion, has been com
pleted. He said Cook Pavilion, which
is used for indoor football practice
and for a number of indoor recreation
programs, was completed on time.
‘‘That opened very near the time
line they projected,” Campbell said.
“Wc played the intramural flag foot
ball championship on the first day it
opened in mid-November.”
Phase I B and Phase II were once
separate, Campbell said, but have
now been combined into one.
"Phase I B and II arc under con
struction,” Campbell said. "It is the
addition to the Coliseum, which is
being built between the Coliseum and
the Military Science Building and is
attached to the Cook Pavilion.”
Campbell said the second phase is
projected to be finished by Aug. 15.
He said the addition to the Coliseum
will include four basketball courts, a
suspended jogging track and a weight
room. A campus recreation office,
first aid office, equipment rental
room, equipment shop and a student
lounge overlooking Cook Pavilion
will also be built.
Campbell said the renovation of
the Coliseum pool and the addition of
13 racquetball courts and one squash
court on the Coliseum stage will also
be part of the second phase.
Because the tennis courts next to
the Coliseum were demolished,
Campbell said, six new tennis courts
will be built next to the Cather
Pound-Neihardt residence halls.
Campbell said the installation of
the six courts, which will giveCather
Pound-Neihardt 14 courts, will force
two flag football fields to be moved
closer to Vine Street. He said the
tennis courts and flag football fields
will be completed by the time school
starts in the fall.
Campbell said Phase III, which is
the final phase of the project, includes
more renovation of the Coliseum.
But Campbell said Phase III has
not been formally approved.
“It will need to be re-evaluated by
the Board of Regents first,” he said.
If approved by the Board of Re
gents, Phase III would include the
construction of a martial arts room, a
multi-purpose room, a volleyball of
fice and a women’s athletic training
center in the Coliseum.
The Coliseum locker rooms would
also be remodeled and the existing
basketball courts will be elevated 14
feet. By elevating the floor that holds
the basketball courts, an additional
basketball court can be added to the
existing three courts. Classrooms and
offices will then be built below the
basketball court.
Campbell said that it is too early to
estimate when Phase III will begin.

Coach says team is strong despite injuries
WALTON from Page 18
Walton said junior Mary Occl may
not return next season because she is
undergoing arthroscopic knee sur
gery in two weeks.
Walton said the Huskers will be a
force to be reckoned with in 1989.
“There is no reason to think we are
less of a team than last year,” Walton
said. “We are better and more com
petitive and next year will be no dif
ferent.”
Walton said 1988 has been the year
for gymnastics at Nebraska. The
Huskcr men captured the NCAA
Championship this season.
“This has been a great year for the
Nebraska gymnastics programs —
both men and women,” Walton said.
“We have developed a reputation as a
team that should be in the NCAA
Championships every year. I am re
ally looking forward to next season.”
