Survey Concludes

By Jeff Coates

If someone were to come up to you and ask what you like to do most in
your spare time, how would you answer?
The intramural office attempted an informal verbal survey asking this very
question, and some of the answers we received were very interesting, to say
the least. Unfortunately, journalistic censorship does not allow us to reveal
wnat turned out to be the most popular answers (go ahead, let your
imagination run!). But we did ask another question that lent itself to more
sociably-acceptable answers.
The question we asked was, "Why do you participate in Intramural Sports
at USC?" If you were asked this question, what would you say? Scott
Reeves, a senior Computer Science major, participates in intramurals mainly
"for the fun of it." He says he also "enjoys the taste of competition, and a
shot at winning a sport championship." Bruce Earp, a senior Criminal Justice
major, feels that intramural sports are "fun and relaxing,' and he likes to
compete without the high degree of competition one finds in varsity sports.
David Pumphrey, the Intramural Manager for Sigma Alpha Epsilon, says
loyalty to his fraternity is important. Pumphrey likes to compete for the
-i i-:- i - ....
ueneiii ui nib iraternity in tne ail-campus point system, although he admits he
does like "doing things for the fun of it." For Mary Helen Holden, a transfer
from Kent State, intramurals offers a chance "to get involved around campus
and meet new people."
A recent survey of west coast college students revealed some interesting
answers to this very same question. The most popular answer listed in their
survey was "intramurals is a chance to get some exercise." Next the
students said intramurals was "an opportunity to have fun and get together
with good friends." Other students said they could release tension in intramural
games, and the different sports offered a chance to meet new
friends. The desire to compete was ranked as the seventh most popular
reason.
This survey also asked the question as to whv sturipntc Hn nn*

intramural sports. The lack of interest, time, and athletic abilities were ranked
as the top three answers. In fourth place was the reason, "unfamiliar with the
intramural program." No competitive urges and the high cost of intramurals
were also mentioned.
We in the USC Intramural Office hope what anyone who is "unfamiliar with
the intramural program," and would like to participate, would call the Intramural
Office for information. With the addition of the C-Rec Sports
Program this year, there are almost unlimited opportunities for all students,
faculty, and staff wo get involved in intramurals. Keep an eye on this Intramural
"Sports Flash" for further entry information. We would also like to
mention that there are opportunities available for officiating positions in all
sports (yes, they do pay money!).
Thom Heath, a recent graduate of USC, had some interesting reflections
concerning intramurals. "We all need to play, and intramurals offers a unique
atmosphere for us to fulfill that desire." With this in mind, we would like to
invite all USC students to consider our intramural program. We feel we have
something for everyone, and encouraae anunnp tr? rail nc uuith a^w n,
