m n October 10, 1988 the new tennis center at Mercer was dedicated to Mr. Leroy Pcddy, ’loyal Mercer alumnus and supporter. The cen- ter was built becuuse the old courts had to be destroyed in order to allow construction of the new library. Mr. Pcddy is a successful restaurateur and en- trepreneur in Maryland, and he is a partner in several husinessses and real estate developments. He is also ac- tive in civic and community affairs, including service as a director of the Maryland Stale Fair and the Rotary Club. A native of WrightsviHe, Georgia, Mr. Pcddy gradu- ated from Mercer in 1928. Through the years he has been an enthusiastic supporter of the College of Liberal Arts and the athletic program at Mercer. It is because of his never-ending love for our school that we de- dicate this tennis cen- ter to him!

About three years ago. an SGA committee thought that it would be a good idea to give the student center a facelift, and since that time each SGA has worked on getting the project finalized. Finally, during this past summer the renovations were made, ex- cepting those that bad been done to the caf- eteria during Christmas break last year. The project which amounted to a total cost of §185.000 had a basic goal of providing more space for socialization and study. As I)r. J. Barry Jenkins put it. “We wanted a place where students would feel they could just hang out.” Some details of the renovations include an expanded game room, an enhanced TV lounge to meet the needs of commuter students, new patio furniture, and more pleasant meeting rooms. In these, as with all of the improvements, the use of blue and gray was encouraged since these are now the university colors. Because of demand, the game room was improved and expan- ded to include not only these |mjo1 tables but also some table tennis space. The new colors and furnishings really enhance the offices up- stairs. 14 Student Center Renovations
