Have you ever wondered why the game is so popular? I’m sure that anyone who has played the game very much knows the answer to the last question For those of you that don’t read on “Foosball” is game of quick wrists and even quicker reactions The game is played by manipulating sliding twisting rods when men secured to these rods over the playing table Each side has four handles with which to operate the playing men One player operates all four rods in a game of singles or as the game is most often played each piayer operates only two of the four rods in a team game or doubles The game costs a quarter and usually delivers eleven balls with which to play Play starts with the dropping of the ball through the special chute and onto the table The players on each side try to kick the ball into the opposing sides goal with the use of the playing men A point is scored when the ball is successfully kicked past the opposing sides defease thing -- to defense which-xan do hfi-- a against difficult a US and can be found in bars pool halls game rooms and there is even an old antique model “Foos” table under the cafeteria at the High Rise dorms' The game has gained enough interest to support professional tournaments that pay more than just a few dollars in prize money You can be sure that these players have spent a good deal of time and quarters on the game So next time you’re down by the Aggie Bowl take just at least a quick look at these devoted players of “Foos” and see how much they are into the game While you’re at it take a look at how fast their hands move on the handles and look at how the ball can fly across the table with a well done shot If you watch too long you might even want to spend a quarter of your own and give the game a try The only thing you’ll lose is a quarter maybe a few points maybe even the game but you should have a ball Take stock mmerica good good team in doubles can pass the ball back and forth to each other and set up shots rather than just wailing away a shot as soon as they get one The player’s eye must stay on the ball at all times as is true in a lot of other things Quick reflexes are also part of the garvfcr The game of “Foosball” has gained increasing interest in the A' a learning experience Emenhiser said In independent study programs the student usually devises his own project and then the instructor must research the project in order to become knowledgeable enough to advise he said The advantage of URCO is the instructor is already very much involved in the area and thus can better advise yet the student still has a voice in the project and can learn as much as he desires Emenhiser said “URCO provides an excellent opportunity for faculty members to show students how advancements are made in their fields and provides the student with invaluable summer job and the student All efforts are being made to provide wages for those faculty members expressed who ask for them Emenhiser interest in the program but were said unable to get involved at the “W are trying to get the present time Emenhiser said About 20 students are presently projects funded in any way possible including scholarships involved in URCO and more are equipment donation and tra- coming in

student can get started in URCO by merely picking up an URCO directory in either Ag Science 232 or Main 131 picking the project on which he would like to work and talking to the faculty A member in charge of that project The student is then asked to write a one page paper on what he expects to learn from the project how he wants to approach itT and whether he wants credits wages both or neither The rule of thumb in determining the credits to be given for the project is five hours work per hour The credits it can be worked on a variable basis with the student setting a target and then working toward it “A student may find thathe ha§ become so interested in the project that he is putting in more week-per-cred- time than he had predicted” Blue Denim' White Canvas Sizes LEATHER: ACCESSORIES
