a.;$ -X By BOBBY ALFORD Congratulations! We congratulate the fraternity intramural champions Sigma Chi for the fine efforts they displayed in winning the title. They battled through some rough competition to emerge the best team in the Fraternity Leagues. With the brand of hard, lean football they exhibited, they deserve to win. Con gratulations for a job well done, Champs. Intramurals Lag At Carolina It appears that our intramural setup at Carolina is a little one-sided. As far as the present organization goes, it is good; but for a program that should be flying high, it doesn't even get off the ground. The intramural football program is a perfect example of the one-sideness in the present system. There were three football leagues composel of 19 teams. Thirteen of those teams represented fraternities and made up two leagues. This is excellent participation on behalf of fraternities and this part of the program is to be commended. The problem which exists is the lack of independent participation in intramural athletics. Only six independent teams took part in campus football. This lack of participa tion is due almost entirely to improper organization; or better stated the great amount of trouble it takes to recruit a team and enter it in a sport is just too much to undertake. There are many students who would like to participate in organized athletics at Carolina. Many high school athletes come here and expect to be able to continue playing in organized sports. There are many persons who will say that if anyone de sires to play in a sport on campus, he can do so. This state ment is true, but it involves more than merely volunteering to play a sport. The majority of intramural activities is based on team competition. This means that someone has to take the initiative to recruit the necessary number of athletes to make up a team. The recruiting operation is difficult enough, but it is probably the easiest phase in organizing a team. The hard part is getting the athletes together for practice sessions especially with the limited facilities available on campus. With team members spread out among the many dormi tories, it is almost impossible to assure attendance at prac tice sessions and games. The problem of participation is not one without solution. We already have dormitory managers who are responsible for law, order, cleanliness, etc. in their respective dorms. These people are the means by which we come to a solution. In addition to their present jobs, the University could give them the responsibility of organizing athletic teams in their area of supervision. If the present area proves too small to provide enough persons to participate in a sport, then increase the area and include the territory of two dormitory managers. In the case of the large housing' areas like Preston, each floor could provide a team. We suggest that in choosing dormitory managers, in respect to the foregoing suggestion, a fondness for ath letics should be considered as a main point in selection of these individuals. As part of their job, it would be im perative that they organize an athletic team for each sport. Similar programs have been in effect at other institutions and have proven effective in gaining maximum participation in intramural athletics. We would like to see some form of organization adopted at Carolina by the intramural (depart moent instead of the hap-hazard, take-it-or-leave-it organiza tion which now exists for independents. In this respect, we would like to see some of the honorable intentions stated in the "Handbook of Intramural Sports" carried out. The following statement appears in this publica tion, "Teams representing the dormitories and all independent teams are grouped in the Independent D)ivision. These teams compete in all sports against each other with the winner in each instance playing the Fraternity Division Champion for the campus championship." Another statement in the "Handbook" reads, "suitable trophies and individual awards will be presented to the win ners in the Fraternity and Independent D)ivision by the Intramural Sports Department." We would like to see these noble statements put to work instead of being eyewash for the public. With Carolina beginning to thrive in intercollegiate ath letic competition, we would likea to see some of this success and enthusiasm filter down to intramural athletics.
