Page 8 Black Ink October 6, 1983 What's Intramurals? by DENISE MOULTRIE Intramurals. What are they? Why do they exist? janice Matson, Assis tant Director of Intramurals, ex plains that intramurals are a means of competition team sports such as football and basketball to the less competitive informal recreation sports like badminton and volleyball. Matson stresses, “these are not only team sports, there's something for everybody!” The Intramural Department exists as a part of the Physical Education Department, with control over the recreation facilities. Matson further explains that intramurals are open to all students and faculty at UNC. While the student shave no extra fees to pay in order to use the recreation facilities, the faculty members who wish to use the facilities must purchase privilege cards. Faculty may also purchase privilege cards for their spouses and children. "Everybody has fun," says Matson. At this time, IM is operating on a point system. Fraternities, sororities and dorms participate in this system. As a result of the en- thuysiasm for intramurals, Matson says, "We have one of the best in tramural programs I've seen." Ap proximately 6,000 people par ticipate in the structured (team) sports. Matson says that "about half the campus participates in in tramural programs in some way. "We offer 71 different activities." Again, Matson stresses the main ele ment of intramurals — "We have fun." In 203, Woolen Gym, one can learn everything he/she wants to know about intramural sports. Mat son says that "we offer the tradi tional sports, plus some zany ac tivities, such as the almost anything goes activity," in which almost anything does go. Matson also invites anyone who would like to know more about of ficiating intramurally to come by Woolen and pick up an IM Rec Sports Officiating handbook. In fact, she wants anybody who has an interest in participating an in tramurals in any way to come by the gym and pick up a brochure or flyer on the sport(s) in which they would like to participate.

Even though student protest was very severe on some campuses across the nation, Mauer admitted that things at UNC were pretty calm. There were no such events where students captured hostages and took over buildings as was the case at Columbia University in New York. "Most UNC students weren't involv ed in that sort of protest," revealed Mauer. "Only once did it get violent." When asked if the students who came on campus to whip the officers had succeeded, Mauer replied with a smile 'no'. When asked if he ever fears for "his life, Mauer solemnly replied, "I have in the past I guess the worst time was when the Cates boy was killed," said Mauer. "It been several years ago. The Black Student Move ment was having a dance at the Union. A motorcycle gang out of Durham came over to bust it up. The gang started a fight with the students in the Pit, and the Cates boy was knifed. A number of of ficers, including myself were injured during the fight." Despite the tragic death of Cates, and the explosive events of the six ties and seventies, Mauer stated he wouldn't trade his job and the memories of the past nineteen years. "I enjoy it," he said. "Police work is a part of me. I'm geared to it, and I don't know anything else. "1 spend more time here than at home. One of nhy officers said the other day, 'Why don't you just move a bed down here." What's ahead for the University police? Only good things said Mauer The UNC police are in a transitional period, Mauer revealed. They are trying to get their authority across to students without damag ing their steadily improving relation ship. "The students are very cooperative. You can ask any of the officers. Lots of times students call us for assistance. For example if they need a ride somehwere or if they are having car trouble. During the sixties we didn't really have the equipment to give assistance to students, but now we do." Mauer stressed, "the University police are there for you if you need them."
