I II I I HOUSE A new field bouse has been a hug cheriihed dream of those interested m athletics at Stout, but soon it is to he an actuality. On January 20. 1936. the Board of Trustees approved a bill providing funds for the purchase of the houses and lots south of the gymnasium. The bill providing for the purchase of the IVrson and Brewer property was to written that legislative consent was not necessary ' - This is the first step toward making our dream a reality. The specifications for the new field house, which will he an addition to the present gymnasium, will he presented at the next session of the legis- lature- The present building will be entirely re- modeled and enlarged to afford ample opportunity for athletic activity and social functions as well. As planned, the new building will include a large racket ball court, where inter-college games can he played. With this arrangement it may he pos- sihle to have Kith a varsity and a freshman team. as more time can he spent in individual coaching and practising. The new field house will also in- clude an indoor track. With these enlarged facili- ties, the athletic department will he better able to carry on an extensive winter sports program. It will be an asset to our already well organized intramural program. The building is expected to take the place of the one originally planned for Nelson Field. How- ever, the field house is being built on the campus so that it will not only he available for athletics, hut it will also he a social center that will he available at all hours of the day. It also brings our long desired campus one step nearer, for it will place Stout property on both sides of Second Street to Ninth Avenue. SHELTER HCUSE in connection with the new athletic field, a inciter house has been constructed at the north entrance to the field for the convenience of our own and visiting teams. The outside is finished with ten-inch rough-sawed lap siding with brown and white trim. The green shingles used for roofing blend well with the velvety green of the turf, making the shelter house truly a picturesque part of the field. The house is fifty feet long and thirty feel wide containing two dressing rooms and two showers, one for the visiting team and one for the home team. The main floor also contains a large .•torage room. The basement is equipped with a furnace and with storage space for various miscel- laneous implements. r r,e ;:
