Every Monday and Wednesday, six volleyball teams, of approximately nine members each, participate in the volleyball games. Surprisingly, only two of the six teams are comprised of dorm residents; its usually the students that get more involved," said Dennis McGarvey, director of student life. The intramural department is run by Teri Schryer and Scott Kaiser. They felt that something was needed to keep students involved in sports during the winter months, and that volleyball was the best choice. Volleyball is a good diversion to sitting at a desk, and it isnt seasonal so it can be played in the winter," said Mike Black, assistant director of public relations, and a faculty team member. Westminster intramural volleyball is very, casual according to McGarvey. No referees are present, the teams just call their own plays. We play volleyball to have a good time, as well as to stay active, said McGarvey. After six games, one team still remains undefeated. The All Stars have a 0 record. The All Star team members are mainly students of the volleyball class taught by Tom Steinke, associate Many people view the National I' Basketball Association as the non-"-ft contact sport of slam dunks, fancy moves, no defense, superstars and high salaries. So what is Bob Hansen (a player that was known in college for his solid defense and rough play) doing in the NBA? First of all this image of the NBA is quickly changing. Players like Moses Malone, Jack Sik-m- a and Bobby Jones have instilled the work ethic in pro hoops. Thats why the Utah Jazz drafted Hansen in the third round of the 1983 NBA College Draft, 54th overall. They needed a tall guard to play defense against guards like: George Gervin, Magic John- years, including a trip to the Final Four as a Freshman in 1980. That team lost to eventual champion Louisville, on which Jazz teammates Darrell Griffith and Jerry Eaves played. Being on that Iowa team and reaching the Final Four was the biggest thrill of my college career and many of the players on that team still keep in touch." At Iowa Hansen came from a winning program that won 20 or more games a year, but said it wasn't hard to come to a team like the Jazz. The Jazz are an up and coming team that has players from many winning college programs," said Hansen. We play hard and have alot of enthusiasm. On Nov. 5, the Jazz played San Antonio and Hansen had to e NBA scoring champion George Gervin. When guard I was little I watched Gervin on TV. He doesnt know who I am," said Hansen. But I sure know him." four-tim- high-scorin- g son and Andrew Toney. This muscular 66" player, out of Iowa, is in the NBA because he is a team player and not afraid to give his all for a loose ball. In college I played in the very physical Big Ten Conference so the style of play in the NBA didnt surprise me, said Hansen. At Iowa Hansen played in the NCAA tournament all four As a youth in Iowa City, Hansens idols were former NBA greats Jerry West and Rick Barry. I patented my game around the offense of West and the defense of Barry." The dream of every youngster that plays basketball is to one day play in the NBA. Through hard work, Hansen has fulfilled this dream and is thankful to the Jazz for this chance. Knowing Hansen, he will make the most of it 4-- professor of physical education. Coming in at a close second with a 1 record is Beyond Help, the faculty team. According to Black, their secret weapon is their name. People really do think they are beyond help. 3-- The way things look right now, I would say the All Stars are going to go undefeated and win the whole thing, said McGarvey. The intramural volleyball games will end on Wednesday, Dec. 7.
