NAVY, CONDITIONING CROWD ATHLETIC BUILDING FACILITIES

Civilians are still allowed in the Indoor Athletic Building without special passes, but the brick edifice on Holyoke street is gradually going the way of all University facili8ties that can be used by the armed forces.

At 8 o'clock in the morning the Yardlings, 1942-model, take over all the facilities of the buildings, although most of them wind up in the pool. The N. T. S. occupation is over at 10 o'clock, giving the place a short interval to rest up for the onslaught of undergraduates seeking tip-top condition and athletic credits.

Conditioning Upstairs

Conditioning classes start to strain the top floor at 11 o'clock, and another group comes in at noon. The middle floors also swing into action at this time, with Hal Ulen taking his swimmers into the wrestling room at 11:15, 12:15, 2:15, and 3:15 for pre-natation calisthenic periods.

In the afternoon the whole building is in use, and by students. Starting at the bottom like an Alger here, the crevices between the pipes in the basement see service as a shooting gallery for the Mill Sci pistol team.

The specialty rooms which take up the middle stories are as busy as Physics labs at this time. Fencing from 2 to 6, boxing from 3 to 6, special exercise from 2 to 5, and wrestling from 3 to 6 provide a steady stream from the locker rooms. And in addition to the earlier swimming classes, the pool and conditioning shard three courts, depending on how many students have run out of cuts. The Varsity has two courts to itself from 3 to 4:30; Norman Fradd's tutees take over at 4:30 and 5:30; and House quintets and voluntary hoopsters play where they can from 2 to 6.

In the evening, the boys in blue come back to the pool from 6:30 to 8 on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday for special instruction classes. The singing statistics have free run of the building on Wednesday nights, but they will be shifted to Tuesdays to avoid conflicts with intercollegiate contests. On Monday nights from 8 to 9:30 Faculty families and female personnel of the University give the pool some relief from its masculine overemphasis.
