Base Gym Open Again
by Rich O'Brien
The Capitol Campus gym was
reopened for use on November
27 after completion of the
repairs of the damage caused by
the summer flooding. The influx
of water resulted in a buckled
and warped gym floor.
The question of whether to
replace the floor or somehow
save it by repairs was the major
problem for the maintenance
department. The gym floor is
about 6,000 square feet in size
and consists of 2x4 inch sleepers
laid over a concrete slab, with a
diagonal sub-floor, of one inch
thickness. A felt vapor barrier
also lies underneath the floor
surface of hard maple.
Repairs were initiated by
cutting test samples in the
surfact and examining them for
Each team had their big moment of triumph at one time or

water content. The test holes
revealed the major obstacle to be
a shallow "lake" of water
between the sleepers and the
surface. Many attempts to dry
the floor were made, but were
unsuccessful because the vapor
layer was saturated with water.
But the problem was solved
by an ingenious plan developed
by Dave Dreibelis and the other
personnel of the maintenance
department. They hooked up a
system of fans which were
designed to blow air between the
sleepers through the 60 foot
width of the gym to evaporate
the water. The drying process
took two months to complete
and was carefully monitored by
moisture content readings. The
result was a perfectly repaired
gym floor and a saving of
$25,000, which would be the
estimated cost of a new floor.

Tuition
(from page it)
the "Yale Daily News," students
have not greeted the program
enthusiastically. He commented
that students see the program as
a means of forcing them to
accept the $650 rise in tuition
over the past two years, and
feels that the 35-year repayment
plan represents a form of
"indentured servitude."
Duke University has also
adopted a plan similar to that of
Yale. Students there, however,
have only ten years to repay
loans, and if they fail to do so
through a tax on their income,
they must repay the ramainder
in regular installments.
Student participation in the
Duke program has been
restricted to 70 and the
administratiom reports that far
fewer than that number of
students have shown interest in
the program.
Under the Harvard program,
students, are required to repay
loans at varying rates and for
varying periods of time,
depending on their income
status. Each student must repay
a minimum of $360 per year
after graduation, but no student
must pay more than six percent
of his or her annual income if
that income falls below $7200.
A similar program presently
under consideration at Columbia
University would allow student
loans of $5OO per year, plus any
increased tuition costs, to be
repaid over a period of 20 years.
