The questionnaire had been set up to be run through a computer but instead it was read manually. With more than 5,000 participants in the intramural program, this process is extremely time consuming, Hirata said. "IT GOT to be more of a hassle than a benefit," said Intramural Director Robert C. Dalrymple. "We didn't have enough personel to make the system work without the use of computers." The medical form and the initial program utlizing the computer were borrowed from a plan at the University of Massachusettes by Hirata. He studied the program there, which has been in operation successfully for several years, and decided to adopt it here. According to Hirata, the Health Center was to receive medical histories of each student participating in intramural activities and the intramural department would get a print-out of the members of each of the participating organizations. "THIS WAS the Health Center's number one priority," Hirata said. "Somehow our priority was nothing to the head of the Computer Center." Computer Center Director Jack Cooper said "The computer department can only look at the request from a technical aspect. It (the proposal) is feasible but we must go along with the priorities for automation set up by the Records Committee. We are only a sub-committee." At a meeting of the Record Committee last week, a priorities list was drawn up for automation requests. Among the top of the list was the grading system and registration. "TO THE best of my knowledge, this requestby Dr. Hirata is not at the top of the priority list of the committee," Cooper said. Committee members could not be reached for comment. INJURIES From Page One REFEREES WHO are selected for the intramural football program must attend a three-day clinic instructing them on the officiating procedures of flag football. This clinic also includes how tL handle certain game situations. After this session, there is a 55 question written test that must be passed before that person is allowed to referee. "The pay for intramural officiating is higher than most in tramural programs across the nation," Dalrymple said. "The new pay program, which was started this year with the pay increases for every additional year a student stays with the program has helped the officiating." A first-year official receives $3 per game, second year $4, and third year and up receives $5. Dalrymple said that "if the pay goes any higher, the people will only be in it for the money." Supervisor of Intramural Officials Chuck Nichols said "we're not catching it all out there. If a boy gets his nose broken it's a little bit of both, sometimes it is accidental and sometimes it is the fault of the other players." Some connected with the program say tighter officiating and the use of pads may be the answer. However, both Hirata and Dalrymple feel the use of pads would not be helpful in aleviating the injury problems. "PADS WOULD mean the program would be ten cuts more vicious. Pads are not the answer," Hirata said. "The rules of in tramural football, if enforced, are strict enough where pads are not needed." "When these teams practice, they don't practice the rules of the game," 'Dalrymple said. "If they want us to call the games tighter. we could, but there probably would be a penalty on every play."~ Nichols summed up the referees' feelings when he said, "What can be expected when some teams play like they are competing for $100,000 in every game." GU M iiil'ae(te over her face. "I swallowed all the juice first," she explained while peeling off her facial Bazooka. "I tried to get it as dry as I could." The fourth and final heat took a little longer than the others to complete, as the six particpants just could not get it together. No one had a bubble to offer as time expired, so 30 more seconds were added. Doody Franklin, who prefers to work with Kiss gum rather than Bazooka, rose to the occasion nevertheless, blowing it to balloon-like proportions to qualify for the championship round. The finalists had five minutes to show their stuff. The bubbles were rising more frequently now--big, strong, hardy ones--but no one could keep them up. They were bursting prematurely, and as the seconds died away, Jack Iewkowicz kept his composure long enough to spew one out which clinched first place and a two-pizza prize. "TIlS IS really bad on the 'old moustache," Lewkowicz acknowledged, trying to scrape of f the sweet, pink debris. "I'm not gonna talk for two hours," he added a'e he massaed hi sore ...
