Compliments outweigh complaints By CRISTINA ORTEGA Staff Writer It has been eight months since the George A. Smathers Wellness Center opened its doors and already it is evolving and changing. For one thing, the influence ofthe Wellness Center caused Campus Sports and Recreation, the center's administrative body, to change its name to the Department of Wellness and Recreation. The word "wellness" better describes the func tions sponsored by the center, said Patty Swift, the Wellness Center's assistant director of business and marketing. "But the name-change was just a technical change. Most of the concrete changes have been done in response to the complaints and suggestions of the people who use the facil ity," Swift said. "We are constantly trying to make the cen ter better." Patty Pujals, who works at the Wellness Center's front desk and pro shop, said she hears people compliment the facility all the time. "The alumni are always asking 'why didn't they have this when I was here?' Most people are very impressed when they first see the center," Pujals said. "People say it's like no other fitness facility they've ever seen." PUMPING UP: Dave Celfman, senior, obviously thinks the Wellness Center's worth it, as he lifts weights on Sunday night.
