May Have you ever walked into the gym on the night of a basketball game to see the side goals rolled up, the bleachers pulled out, and everything perfectly in order for the game to begin? You might ask the ques tions: Who does this? Who is responsible for the work and leadership of such an orderly job? The answer to this question is Leo Welch, supervisor of physical educa tion and athletic facilities. Leo has been supervisor of facilities for nearly three years now and Athletic Di rector Alan White says he is pleased with the job Leo has done. “Leo is a very depend able and cooperative f>er- son,” says White. “He gets along with people well and this is important in his job because he deals with many different people each day.” The gym is just a small part of Leo’s responsibilities. He is in charge of the pool, the weightroom, all athletic vehicles, and he supervises some 30 to 35 student work ers. Although Leo’s job re quires a lot of hard work he says he has no regrets for taking on the responsibili ties. “Sure, things get hectic at times,” says Welch. “There is always something going on and plenty of problems come up, but I don’t have any regrets. If 1 had it to do all over I would take the job again.” When asked what his main problem is, Leo re plied, “It’s definitely keep ing the students out of the back gym area when some thing is going in Alumni. They blame me for not being able to use the facili ties. We have a policy against using Jordan facili ties while Alumni is in use. 1 can’t help it;. I’m just doing my job.” During the summer Leo refinishes the gym floors. This is a great help to the school and takes an extra burden off the athletic de partment’s hands. “Leo is an all-around good worker,” says Dr. White. “It’s hard to find someone who can do as much as he can. When he leaves he will be greatly missed.” Elon offers Riviera Elon College will again sponsor a four-week pro gram during August at the University of Nice on the French Riviera with the pos sibility of obtaining up to six credit hours.
