* # CUAWPV^ Intramural W OllvWlilO Sports Flash X Volume- 7 ??1 PE center offers extensive facilities By Ken Hauser Assistant Intramural Director In order for the Intramural Program to operate effectively, adequate facilities for conducting the various activities of the program must be present. We are extremely fortunate here at Carolina to have one of the finest PE Centers in the southeast. The PE Center has the facilities and resources which not only accomodate the Intramural Program, but can also enable the activities of the PE Department and the Sport Club Program to occur. In addition to this, the Center affords many opportunities for individual recreation. The list of facilities is quite extensive. The Center has six indoor basketball courts and seven outdoor courts. There are nine courts available for bad minton enthusiasts, nine racquetball'handball courts, four squash courts and four volleyball courts. The six outdoor fields accomodate such activities as football, soccer, lacrosse, rugby, and frisbee as well as many other outdoor activities. The center also has twelve tennis courts, all of which are outdoor. The Natatonum provides set hours for recreational swimming as well as providing facilities for the varsity swimming teams. The Par Course, adjacent to the Center, is the newest addition to the facilities list. A wide variety of equipment is available at the Center. According to the PE Center brochure, "Sports equipment may be checked out, without charge, at the equipment issue window. Users must deposit their ID cards and sign for equipment responsibility. Equipment must be returned the same day it is issued by the person who checked it out. The ID card will be returned upon receipt of all borrowed equipment. Handball gloves, tennis balls, handballs, racquetballs, and squashballs are not furnished, but may be purchased in the Center." Lockers can be rented on a daily, semester, academic year, and calendar year b^sis.

After watching the "World News Tonight" over the holidays, it seems like it would be easy to contract the mid winter blahs. Nothing seems to be going quite right around the world, so what can USC students have to look forward to, besides rain, colds, and more studying. We in the Intramural Office feel we have something to help break these blahs, and also offer a little fun on the side. The Co Recreational Sports Program here at USC is beginning its second semester of existence. Headlining this winter semester of Co Rec activities is the expanded Fitness for Life Program. This exciting self-motivating program offers a structured point system for a number of fitness activities. Participants determine their own goals at the beginning of the semester, and combine jogging, swimming, bicycling, or handballracquet ball squash and-basket ball to achieve points to attain their preset goals. Our office keeps track of all points and mileage accumulated during the semester and Paid Advertisemcn ?
