   Thank you for voicing your opinion on this matter. We agree that the SRC has had a large increase in usage to correspond with an increased enrollment at Mines. This in turn has overcrowded the Rec. gym at peak hours. Allowing club sports, ROTC, and other student groups to use the McKee weight room would decrease the strain on the SRC.
   Last semester your Junior class representatives began working on a solution to this issue and come up with a similar idea to the one posted. There are a handful of problems that must be addressed for this to happen. Scheduling around Varsity sports, supervision of users, implementation of a portal, and administrative approval are few.
   Unfortunately, these problems take time to overcome. In the short-term we will contact the SRC staff to see about maximizing the usable space in the gym and increasing students access to workout equipment. Additionally, we will continue to reach out to the administration and athletics departments in pursuit of our goal to see student groups in Volk. Please continue to suggest solutions and voice your opinions.

   USG talked with Rob Thompson, the director of REC sports and John Howard about this issue. Apparently, there is a new online facility request system. John assures that this system will help students connect to outdoor facilities in an easier way.

   Also, the tennis courts are planned to have extensive repairs this spring/summer.

   UPDATE

   That new online facility reques website is: events.mines.edu

   In addition to the tennis courts, unlocking the soccer nets so that we can actually play would be great. It is ludicrous that other school have multiple fields to go and play on at any time, lined and well-kept, and we have absolutely nothing.
