WOODARD "I foresee not only bigger programs, but ones of better quality." ' Those words, coming from Intramural-Recreational Sports Program Director Ed Shields are encouraging ones for ail UNC students, faculty and staff. Shields worked diligently for the passing of the referendum last spring that tacked an additional $3.75 to each student's fee total for the explicit purpose of expanding the intramural-recreational sports program at UNC. This $3.75 is the first fee money ever to be allocated to the Intramural program. The program has expanded and, though early, the program's organization has improved as well. What this means for the average UNC student and faculty or staff member, if he takes advantage of the situation, is greater access to the intramural-recreational facilities and a greater opportunity to improve his fitness and engage in recreational and competitive activity. Regardless of how an individual feels about the importance of physical well being in his everyday life, each UNC student and faculty or staff member is cheating himself if he does not use the intramural facilities and programs. - Woollen Gym is open until midnight every night of the week. Bowman Cray Indoor Pool is open until 10:45 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and until 8:45 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Those hours will vary on holidays and football Saturdays. With Woollen open later, the hours to reserve and use racquetballhandball courts are increased accordingly. For the students and faculty or staff members who know the frustration of trying to reserve one of Woollen's five racquetball courts, this must be pleasing. As a result of the referendum's passing, $150,000 are now being channeled into the intramural and sports club programs each year. The Sports Club Council gets $25,000, leaving intramurals with $125,000. This has allowed Shields to enlarge his staff. Specifically, two new assistant directors have been hired. Janice Matson is responsible for scheduling and programming, and Rob Frye handles facility-use and the newly expanded faculty-staff program. Three new graduate assistants have also been hired. Rick Fair, a Catawba College graduate, heads the student officiating (referees) program. That program has been allocated more money to include more extensive training and evaluating procedures and some incentive measures as well. Fair is joined by veteran undergraduate supervisors Darcy Williamsen and Page Singletary. Cathy Feiselmann, a UNC graduate, aids Matson in the scheduling and programming areas and 1 handle publicity. ; To date, I haven't been promoting enough because some early fall activities have been less than over-run with participants and the gym crowd is often sparse from 10 p.m.-midnight. This page, slated to run each week in Weekender significantly increases our ability to publicize the program. A special thanks goes to Martin Freed and the Student Stores management for seeing the need in this area. Other than campus media, we depend on the unit managers and paid Area Coordinators to serve as liaisons between the office and you. The facultystaff program will be using, and is still in need of liaisons as well. If your manager or Area Coordinator is not doing his job, call us. Those people should check their boxes and see us in the office at least once a week. Former Assistant -IM Director Marty Pomerantz has been named Associate IM-Rec Director. Under the leadership of Pomerantz and Shields, the number of intramural activities has increased significantly since 1975, and therefore will not increase specifically because of the referendum. With the increased funding, the special-event area of the program has expanded. Pomerantz plans to have both Woollen and Fetzer Gyms (provided the latter is completed) open one night in the spring for an all-night "Recreationthon" that will offer both competitive and recreational events. Already this year, he has sponsored a new games festival and an outdoor triples volleyball tournament. Upcoming events including the "Big Apple Olympics," a highlight of New York City's traditional street games, the Intracathalon, the intramural decathalon, and the Coed feam wins basketball tournament By BERT WOODARD A surprise in the "Napoleon" basketball tournament and one of-the fraternity division's most consistent winners that took its first "Grail Mural" Softball championship, lead the list of early fall intramural winners. "Babylonian Captivity," a four-person team consisting of three male law students and one undergraduate female captured the annual "Napoleon" championship in the men's division. The "Napoleon" tournament, already a tradition at UNC. is a three-on-three, half-court, single-elimination tournament for players UNDER six feet. "She's good," remarked winning captain Bob Clark, referring to his teammate Melanie Wall. Clark, a third-year law student, and Wall, were joined by third-year law student Re'x Morgan and second-year Todd Hemphill in that championship effort. Defending over all fraternity intramural champion Delta Upsilon continued its winning tradition with a sounding sweep of the grail mural tournament, the opening event in the fall season. DU, which has won the intramural fraternity point championship two out of the last three years, finishing third (out of 3 frays) the other year, was led by Johnny "Steamboat" Stephenson, Bart Riddick, Ricky Summerlin, and Merle Baldwin. Rounding out the balanced DU attack were Burgiss, Hank Edwards, Richard Hauser, Clay Collier, Keith Shell, pledge Donald Thomlinson and El wood King, a pitching wiz who is not a DU. "The Butchers," a three-woman team of P.E. seniors won the four-team field of women Napoleon teams. Kim Goodson, Denese Morris and Lou Holshauser defeated the Avery ".Hustlers" for the crown. . v.- l. t f DU f.'sila Cddwln throws In 1 0-0 coftbc3 w'n ...
