Description
College Heights Herald article about overcrowding in the gymnasium:
Among Western's real problems with its 4,792 enrollment is where to put the basketball fans this winter.
The gym's official capacity now is listed as 4,500.
The college had 3,599 enrolled last year. Better than a third of the gym's seats were allotted to students.
A meeting is slated within a few days to resolve the seating situation.
In the meanwhile, the plans remain to start work on the multi-million dollar athletic academic building in November. It will be ready for occupancy in 1963.
