C8 The Daily Tar Heel Thursday. August 25, 1977 Blyth says talents needed elsewhere McGuire replaced as UNC intramurals director By RICK SCOPPE Suff Writer Ben McGuire, UNC's intramural director last year, was reassigned to teaching duties effective this fall because "his talents would be more useful elsewhere" according to Dr. Carl Blyth, Chairman of the Physical Education Department. Taking over as intramural director will be Dr. Ed Shields, who was previously a professor in the P.E. Department. Dr. Blyth said "the decision to reassign him (McGuire) was reached during the summer and before the end of the first session of summer school." Dr. Blyth said McGuire would still be working with students and "will have about 170 incoming freshmen in his physical education classes this fall." McGuire said he hoped he might be able to return to a position where he would be able to help students as he did with intramurals. McGuire. who came to UNC from Illinois, expanded Carolina's intramural program to where it was on par with any program in the South. He doubled the number of sports for women and brought to UNC many new activities, including the turkey trot and the one day faculty-staff-student golf tournament. Dr. Blyth said that he wants to continue UNC's outstanding intramural program and has complete faith in Dr. Shields. When questioned concerning his reassignment, McGuire said that he had made "a couple of errors in judgment" and that Dr. Blyth had been completely fair in the reassignment decision. McGuire said one reason for his reassignment may have been that some students had been unhappy with some of his decisions concerning intramurals. McGuire said they complained to a top UNC administrator, who he would not name, and in the end. he said. Dr. Blyth had no other recourse but to reassign him. McGuire began his career in intramurals in 1959 and broadened the intramural program at Illinois. Last year McGuire took over as UNC intramural director and began the expansion of UNC intramurals. Now. with his reassignment, he will teach seven physical education classes this fall. Dr. Shields said he would "run the intramural program much as it was run last year with a few minor changes." Dr. Shields said one new idea was an intramural hot line that students could call and hear a recording of intramural information, such as the day's schedule and if all racquetball courts were occupied. The number would be 933-1 153, the same as the intramural office's number now. I r &$m mmmm mm 4 " v x r i Is . V t I 1 I t . Jsr i: it : - v 'tvv 1 I --- Sx0' &&-.n....

Physical education department officials said McGuire's talents were needed elsewhere. Questions and answers about fall intramurals By RICK SCOPPE Suff Writer The drive to Chapel Hill is long and hot. Once here, the student finds the water shortage worse than last fall and, to top it off, it's so hot the student fears his every move will create more sweat. "But intramurals are starting," says a voice. "Oh no," the student mutters. A total of 17 sports will be offered this fall in a reorganized divisional format. "With 17 sports being offered, how will one keep up with all of them?" For the first time the intramural office will offer a calendar with intramural information and other campus activities, including varsity sports. The calendar is free and may be picked up at the intramural office, 215 Woollen Gym. "What are the sports being offered?" Men's and women's intramural sports this fall will include tag football, table tennis, volleyball, track and horseshoes. Co-Rec activities, where both men and women compete on the same teams, include tag football, table tennis, volley-ball and innertube water polo. Then there are the All-Campus activities which include tennis, racquetball, indoor soccer, handball, swimming, wrestling, Grail Mural basketball, turkey trot and snow skiing. "What about the reservation policy?" For handball, racquetball and squash, reservations may be made 24 hours in advance, starting at 3 p.m.. Monday through Friday. No walk-in reservations will be taken and reservations are on a first-come-first-serve basis and last for an hour. Tennis reservations must be made in person, one day in advance, and are lor an hour and 15 minutes. Only the top II Joyner courts may be reserved. In reorganizing the intramural make-up. the major break-down of divisions remained the same. The lour major divisions (Fraternity, Residence Hall. Graduate-Independent, and Women's) remain but are divided within differently. The women's division will have a Blue (competitive) league and a White (recreational) league. In the Fraternity and Residence Hall divisions, there will bea regular Blue league and a Ram's and Rec league. The Ram's league is for less experienced male students who want to compete at their own level while the Rec league is for individuals who want to compete tor recreational purposes only. Another new development in intramurals this fall is that ans individual who wishes to play intramurals but cannot field a team may come by the intramural office to be placed on a team. Intramural shorts: A manager's meeting will be held Monday between 6:30 and 7 p.m. and anyone interested in officiating should stop by the intramural office.
