On October 14, new lights were installed in the big gym.

Athletic Director Eric Wolgast said that all he has heard is positive feedback about the new lights.

“We felt that the previous lights were dim, had a yellowish color, they weren’t very good for the players and fans sitting, and the photographers taking pictures,” Wolgast said.

Sophomore Alexis Cauthon, plays basketball and believes that this was a good change.

“At a basketball practice one of the old lights fell,” Cauthon said. “They [the old lights] were kind of dim, it was hard to see in there. In the mornings when we go in there, it [the new lights] kind of shocks you, especially compared to the small gym lights, which are really dim.”

Cauthon said she thinks that these news lights will make it easier to concentrate and see during games.
