The Quilfortocm VOL. XLII Guilford's Intramural Program Benefits Students Heavy Participation Features Men's Intramural Program Besides participating in intercol legiate sports, Guilford has an intramural program. This is an athletic program within the school which includes the following ac tivities. tag football, basketball, Softball, tennis, volley ball, and golf. The program is for both men and women students and is initiat ed, planned, and executed by the Athletic Association for Men and The Women's Athletic Association, respectively. All students are eli gible for participation except per sons involved in varsity sports. Teams are formed in the various dor.ns or sections to compete with each other. Trophies are given to the winning teams in each activity. This gives the students who par ticipate a feeling of unity and also a feeling of pride in their section. The purpose of the intramural program is to create interest in physical activity, to bring the stu dents closer together, and to help students develop attitudes, stand ards, and ideals that will prove beneficial to them in later years by cooperating and co.npeting with other students. On the campus, intramurals create an atmosphere of activity which makes a favor able impression on visitors and also creates friendly surroundings for the students. Intramurals give students a chance to get better acquainted and to broaden their knowledge of people and human nature. It makes for better human relations and helps to bring about a climate of good will. It gives the shy student a chance to express himself and meet other people. The students who. for one reason or another, are unable to participate on teams which represent the school in in tercollegiate sports, are given an opportunity to take part in com petitive sports. Last of all, it helps the student to obtain a well-round ed college life, a chance to develop his personality, and an opportunity to find out about himself through self-expression. Yes, intramurals are an important part of a school's activities, and we are glad that Guilford recognizes this need.

To Add Archery, Ping Pong Women's intramurals are spon sored by and under .he jurisdic tion of the Women's Athletic As sociation, rather than the dormi tories although each class is rep resented by a member on the W. A. A. Council. The purpose of women's intramurals here at Guil ford is to foster fair play, cooper ation, and good sportsmanship. Each year interest is shown in all major sports. Special emphasis is placed on tennis, field hockey, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and Softball. With the added fa cilities and equipment this year tournaments in ping pong and archery are expected to be added. The tournaments in these sports are open to all women students re gardless of degree of ability. Encouragement from Lucy Her ein, president of the W. A. A. and Mrs. Salmon, director of wo men's physical education, is help ful in keeping the program active. Participation in intramurals is partially the basis on which blazers and pins are awarded. Intercolle giate play days are an outgrowth of the intramural program. The success of this type of pro gram is completely and wholly de pendent upon individual activity and interest.
