Script Draft

JAMES MARTIN: The Student Recreation Complex at Arizona State University contains many different tools and resources to help its users stay physically fit.  The SRC has become one of the most popular places on campus, which can cause it to become somewhat overcrowded at times. That makes the plans that ASU has created for this building very significant.  ASU plans on expanding the Student Recreation Complex helping it to become a little more convenient for the students and members that use the facility. 

UNIDENTIFIED STUDENT #1: The biggest problem is that this place gets too crowded during the afternoons. 

JAMES MARTIN: The expansion plans for the Student Recreation Complex has great significance to ASU, due to the fact that it is one of the most popular and most commonly used facilities on campus.  These plans can make the SRC more convenient for the students by providing them with larger space for enhanced safety, as well as more equipment.  As two of the interviewees said

UNIDENTIFIED STUDENT: I’ve taken my turn waiting in line for the stair masters before.  Today is actually a slower day, believe it or not.

JAMES MARTIN: This was the only signs of complaints that arose with the SRC during these interviews, which in turn means that Arizona State University is listening to its students.  It shows that ASU wants to make improvements to keep its students happy. 

UNIDENTIFIED STUDENT #1: Yeah, I mean they came up with the expansion plans, right? I think that means they are doing a good job at listening to all of us.

JAMES MARTIN: When speaking with another student I learned that this building contains some features that many students don’t know of.

UNIDENTIFIED STUDENT #2: I am going to rent some equipment for racquetball to play with some friends of mine.

JAMES MARTIN: This shows how the SRC is tied in with many different things, anywhere from renting racquetball equipment to sponsoring the intramural sports leagues.  I then asked if the student had or was currently participated in any intramural sports leagues.

UNIDENTIFIED STUDENT #2: Yeah, I use the weight room like three to fives a week and they usually have personal trainers on hand if someone needs one.

JAMES MARTIN: A great addition to the SRC is the personal training that can be acquired by its students.  This can be good help to those that struggle with exercise.

UNIDENTIFIED STUDENT #2: No, but I think it sounds like a lot of fun and some friends of mine plan on getting involved sometime. 

JAMES MARTIN: The key words here are “getting involved” and that is what the SRC is built around.  ASU created the SRC to help take some stress of students and get them out of their daily lives.  I later met up with student employee, Kayla Johns, who gave me her perspective on the SRC and its expansion plans.

JAMES MARTIN & KAYLA JOHNS: (On Tuesday I will be interviewing Kayla Johns, a student employed at the SRC, who will be giving me her input and thoughts on the building and its expansion plans.  This will be the largest portion of the interview and analysis due to her direct connection with the SRC and its surroundings.)

JAMES MARTIN: Drawing everything together, the significance of the SRC and its expansion plans comes entirely from the students themselves.  Many students spoke out to ASU saying that the SRC was becoming overly crowded for large portions of the day.  If this was not a significant ordeal the students would not have spoken out.  As a result, the SRC will only become more significant to the campus as more students begin to use it for its new found space and convenience.
