Show Page 6 The PARSON PARTICIPATION? All-St- ar By Allan Burkhalter Game Held March 19th was the night r for the basketball game. The players were chosen from the teams that played for the womens intramural tournament. The final score was 27-1All-Sta- PARSON Sports Editor Why does Westminster have an intramural program? Why should the Athletic Department work to provide activities for the students? The reasons for this program are many. The first and moremost is to provide recreational fun for the students of the college. When you have been in classes or studying, you fulfill your needs for mental exercise, but there is very little physical exercise involved. Its an opportunity for students to spend their leisure time in a competitive sport that they enjoy. It for social contacts. You not only meet other provides students in your own class, but you meet other students from other classes that you wouldnt meet in the class room. The intramural program will help you develop an interest in some recreation that you really enjoy. It is the hope of those involved, that this interest will continue even after you leave the college community. Another important reason- for intramurals is physical fitness; to help the student have a sound, healthy body to go with his alert mind. The only way the student can benefit from the objectives of the program is by coming out and joining his classmates. The biggest activities so far this year have been volleyball and basketball. The other activities have had only a limited amount of participation. We have five tournaments coming up. These are archery, softball golf, tennis, and track and field events. Everyone sign-u- p for their favorite team. If you cant play you can come out and cheer for those that are playing. The more people that play, the better the chances are of keeping the sports active for next year. As the number of active students increases, the door will be open for more activities in the future. There seems to be an attitude of I could care less about intramurals. These people would care a lot more if they would come out and find out how much fun thev J can have. I hope that those of you that have been in the in- tramural program before, but also those of haven t taken the opportunity to get in the you that swing of things will make a real effort to help the intramural directors, Nancy Rose and Ray Gibbons by cominer out and have some fun and support your class. Seniors Lead In Intramurals By Allan Burkhalter N The class of 1963 is at this time the leaders in the West- minster Intramural Program. Thus far football, volleyball, mens and womens basketball, bowling, and table tennis are the activities that have been completed.

Nathan bas been impressed With the quality of teaching at Westminster. I think the faculty at Westminsterthat is far more efficient than that of most universities. This was his comment when asked about what he thought of Westminster. He was also impressed with the friendly atmosphere of the students. Nathan has thus far been very happy with what he has found on our campus and is looking forward to a very successful year at Westmin- The seniors have compiled points to 987.5 for the sophomores, 687.5 for the freshmen, and 525 points for the juniors.

The women that played for her were as follows: Gerta VanKlav-eren- , Pam Hirsh, Mary Jane Kurtz, Joanne Dulaney, Ginger Gore, Carolyn Love, and Barbara Smith. Captain of the losing squad was Margaret Warren. Her players were Nancy Miller, Marjorie Castile, Elaine Nina Rushmore, Betty Short, Delena Berg, and Linda Barry. Do-ko- s, If you saw some of the men from Carleson Hall limping around before vacation, it was from the half-tim-e activity. Two teams engaged in a game using the rules from before the turn of the century. At that time, basketball was a cross between football and the game of basketball that we know today. If you saw the game you notice a difference not only in the roughness, but in the equipment as well. Using a closed-i-n bushel basket not only slowed the game down, but helped to make the game more amusing. The captain of the winning team was Ray Clark, while the losing captain was Leon Reyes.
