article on lack of equipment at the HPER

Dear Editor,Got Flat Balls?
It was a quiet Sunday afternoon, so I called up my friends and we decided to go shoot some hoops. We grabbed our basketball gear and off to the HPER my roommates and I went. Once we got there we noticed that our balls were a little flat. We then went to the main desk and asked to borrow an air pump. For such a simple task, we found ourselves in a difficult dilemma. The lady behind the desk seemed to have no information about an air pump. Since she was unable to offer us an air pump she handed us one of the HPER’s balls. However, their ball was even flatter then ours. Therefore we posed her a question, what do they do when their balls go flat? Baffled and bewildered from her unknown answer, we headed back to the court. We put down two flat balls and started up a game of horse, with what seemed like the only aired up ball in the gym. When the game of horse ended that day, the question of why a simple piece of gym equipment was not readily available for student use continued to play on in our heads. On a quiet Sunday afternoon, what do you do with your flat balls?
