The association has had to provide
the funds for all the initial
preparations, which began in
August. Since then, phones and
computer systems have been added
and expanded, extra staff
members have been hired and
stacks of correspondence have
been mailed, according to Jennifer
McGill. the association's ex
^ ecutivc director.
W- The association also paid for
traveling expenses to send McGill
back and forth to Washington
for consultations. But NASA will
assume all costs for the program
when the official contract is signed,
McGill said.
NASA will also reimburse the
organization for its expenses up
to that time.

Despite the injuries of two il
iC students this week, the
iversity's intramural sports are
fe, a campus spokesman said.
Intramural sports injuries are
)t preventable, according to Dr.
aul Akers, director of USC's
>orts Medicine program for the
tramural and varsity sports
ograms.
"Only one student that was in
ired could have possibly been
ilped by wearing a helmet like
le varsity do when they play,
ut as far as the wearing of pads
id other (protective) equipment
concerned, no, 1 wouldn't adjcate
that."
However, he said injuries
3uld be eliminated if everyone
articipating in intramural sports
ould simply play by the rules.
"The answer to this problem is
imple. One of the things that 1
/ould say to the students here at
Carolina is that they abide by the
ules. Unfortunately, they
lon't," said Akers.
Akers, who deals with varsity
tnd intramural players, says the

Akers said pads and other safey
equipment are for organized

uch things are not necessary.
Me aiso saia women who play
ntramural sports are not in any

"We have to realize here that
