  • REC Study Trip Planned
    Special screen edition, see Entertainer Volume 82, No. 17 Serving the San Jose State University Community Since 1934 Thursday. February 23, 1984 Right on cue REC study trip planned By Karen Salom The SJSU administration and students will be given the chance to visit a facility at the University of Califor- nia. Davis, that is similar to SJSU's proposed Recreation and Events Center. The Student Union Board of Directors will sponsor a bus trip to UC-Davis so the administration and student, can tour the UC-Davis Recreation Hall. Jeff Coughlan, chairman of the SUBOD said the pur pose of the trip is to "familiarize people with what a RE(' is." He said although the building plans for the SJSU Rec Center will not be exactly like the UC-Davis facility, it has the closest resemblance to SJSU's plans in the North- ern California area. According to Coughlan. the bus trip to the university was originally scheduled for last September. Although students showed interest, there was not enough people committed to the trip so it was rescheduled. Coughlan said the board is urging people to go on the trip because viewing the UC-Davis Rec Hall could pro- vide good insight for those concerned about the Rec Cen- ter. "I think it's (the UC-Davis trip) a great idea. - Coughlan said, adding that the people at SJSU can better understand the Rec Center plans by seeing an actual cen- ter. He said the Rec Center is just an abstraction for the campus. Ron Barrett, S.U. director, said he thinks the trip to Thomas Hardy VC-Davis "will give students the opportunity to see a Rec Farrukh All, a junior, lets loose with a low-percentage shot in the Student Union games area as friend Vish Akella looks on.
