photo bv Jim Smitn VJ HIDING OF DREAMS On October 18, 1991, doors opened to the Dr. Bob E. Leach Recreation Center for all students. The Leach Center was named to pay tribute to the man whose motto was caring and sharing in order to respond to the needs of each student. During his years as Vice President for Student Affairs, from 1978 to 1988, Dr. Leach believed that concentrating on the social, academic, and personal experiences of students would lead to their success and growth. On September 15, 1995, an oil portrait of Dr. Leach was unveiled in the atrium of his recreation facility. Painted by Mr. Paul Houzell, students and stall felt as though it was the best addition in his honor. Since the center ' s opening, Leach, as it was commonly referred to by students, had become one of the most popular facilities on campus, whether to get into shape, or just to socialize. With such tremendous use by a vast majority of students, there was not equipment available for a workout during late afternoon hours. With a new expansion of 2,400 sq. ft., there was more equipment, which meant less of a wait. According to Peter Marra, Sophomore, They needed more space, it ' s popular in the middle of the day, all the time. With space seen as the Leach Center ' s biggest problem, Student Government, who contributed over $860,000 to Leach, tried to make the center more comfortable and less crowded during its business hours. It has alleviated some of the space problems, but it remains crowded because it is a popular place to work out in, stated Gei Nam Lim, Fitness Director. Students waited approximately six months for the $569,000 expansion to be completed. I worked out at the Leach last year, it ' s a lot better, makes it easier so you don ' t have to wait in line as much, stated freshman, Lyle Fictum. Senior Samuel Jean felt, It ' s very good, it ' s too many people (in the main section), while Junior Tilaine Menard stated, It ' s more convenient, especially when the other side is crowded. Majority of the students enjoyed the privacy of the new section, which allowed them to feel more comfortable while working off the day ' s meals or searching for the weekend ' s date. Leach Center 19
