New, expanded recreation centers help campuses compete

By THOMAS J. SHEERAN

AKRON, Ohio (AP) - Dominic Mann was thinking about attending the University of Akron and made up his mind after seeing the school's expansive new recreation center, complete with a rock-climbing wall and lots of glass to watch the workouts.

''It made a difference,'' said the 19-year-old freshman, who began his weekend on a recent Friday evening playing basketball at the rec center as his girlfriend, Ashley Ragland, 18, of Bedford Heights, used weight equipment to tone her leg muscles.

Mann, a freshman from Warrensville Heights near Cleveland, played varsity basketball in high school and sees the recreation center as a way to stay in shape for his goal of becoming a non-scholarship walk-on member of the Akron Zips team.
