Night Owls, Athletes:
Survival Test Next Friday
1M-REC Sports will sponsor the First Annual All-Niter Survival Test
next Friday, Sept. 18.
"The event will feature a series of competitions such as half court 3-on-3
basketball, bed sheet volleyball, wallyballj racquetball, over-the-line
and one-pitch Softball tournaments and a midnight fun run," said Marty
Pomerantz, director of intramural and recreational sports.
Festivities will begin on Friday at 8 p.m. and will conclude around 4
a.m. on Saturday, Pomerantz said. The evening will also feature sport club
demonstrations, open recreational swimming and "Wacky Water Waces"
in the indoor pool, a mystery film fest on the big video screen, and free
play.
Teams that win will receive IM-REC Sports t-shirts. Entries are due in
the IM-REC office in 203 Woollen Gym by next Thursday, Sept. 1 7.
Pomeranti gave two reasons for the creation of the All-Niter Survival
Test. "Because it's never been done at Carolina and we're just wild and
crazy guys," he said.
Pates to remember
Entries open Monday for five IM-REC events ' Wimbledon
volleyball, open racquetball, grail softball, home run derby and floor
hockey. Entries will close Tuesday for team tennis, Napoleon basketball
and innertube water basketball.
The Second IM-REC Sports Staff Development, Workshop will be
held Sunday at 7 p.m. in 109 Fetzer. All IM-REC staff members, including
aerobic instructors, officials, lifeguards, office staff, sport supervisors, club
sports officers and advisers, facility monitors and managers are invited to
attend.
The guest speaker will be Carol Binzer, assistant director of the office
of leadership development. She will speak on "Leadership Styles and
Communication." Ice cream will also be served.
Any staff member interested in attending should RSVP by Friday,
Sept. 11 at 962-11 53.
Reserve your racquetball court now
There is a change in the racquetball reservation process for the fall
semester, Pomerantz said.
Courts should be reserved on the day before a person desires to play.
Reservations may be made beginning at 3 p.m. up until the next day at 2.
p.m. in the IM-REC office or by calling 962-1 153.
Play is limited to one hour of play a day, Pomerantz said, unless empty
courts are available.
"We have 1 5 racquetball courts and six squash courts," Pomerantz said.
"Squash courts may be reserved in the same process."
Wallyball courts may also be reserved. "Wallyball is volleyball played
on racquetball court," Pomerantz said. "The ball may be played off the
walls. We're going to have a couple wallyball tournaments throughout the
year, but courts may also be reserved for free play."
Team Handball Club reloads
The Carolina Team Handball Club struggled to an eighth place finish
out of 1 1 teams in the College and University Division at last April's 1 992
Nationals at Philadelphia. The finish was the worst in the club's history
at the national tournament.
"We won the bronze in 1991 and finished fourth in 1989," said John
Silva, the club's coach and faculty adviser. "We were disappointed
because the guys played hard, but we have to develop better court
intelligence. We've got good athletes, but we must work In the team
concept."
Silva is very optimistic about this year's club, which has 15 players
returning from last year. "I expect to move guys into different positions
this year more than ever before," he said. "There's really no reason why we
shouldn't contend for the national championship."
Senior goalie Tim Ammer leads the Tar Heel returnees. "Tim is
consistently excellent," Silva said. "1 plan on promoting htm for a
National Olympic Festival position."
Other top returning players include Roger Roper, Graham Kelly,
Patrick Joyner, Battle Watkins and Lance Kelly. "Lance is probably the
player to watch this year," Silva said. "He's got a lot of promise."
Carolina will travel to West Point for a tournament in mid-October.
"If we can increase Our on-court discipline by 100 percent from last year,
no one is going to touch us," Silva said.
