To many freshmen, USC can be an intimidating
place. But the Solomon Blatt Physical Education
Center can ease some anxiety by offering a variety
of physiffal activities.
Assistant director Harold Gentry said activities
students will find at the P.E. Center range from
football to swimming and badminton. There are 13
indoor and eight outdoor programs.
"The center tries to offer a variety of activities,"
Gentry said. "I think we have something for just
about everyone.
"We encourage students to participate in the intramural
sports program and we also emphasize

such as tennis, racquctball or swimming," he said.
According to Gentry, students who do get involved
find a P.E. Center and a staff that is always looki

USC edged out Metro Con- I
ference rival Florida State to win I
the league's All-Sports Award for <
the second consecutive year, con- i
ference commissioner Steven |
Hatchell recently announced.
With Metro championships in I
men's and women's swimming,
m Pn'c nnH wnmnn'c tnnnic onrl
women's basketball, the
Gamecocks compiled 63 all-sport ]
points to hold off FSU, which ]
finished with 61. The Seminoles I
have won the award six times and i
finished second behind Carolina
last year.

"This was the most eompetitive
race for the All-Sports
,'M Award since its inception ten
years ago," Hatchell said. "With
many of our schools having
< nationally-ranked programs in
HRMk 1985-86, it was a great acf
complishment for South Carolina
40 to win this award."
Virginia Tech claimed third

ing to improve.
When the center first opened in August 1971, it
was just in Phase One, he said. "Phase One included
the front offices, locker room, four basketball
courts, three racquetball courts, one squash court, a
dance studio and a combative room ? used for
wrestling and karate."
On July 25, 1975, the center began Phase Two,
Gentry said. A pool, two additional gyms, six new
racquetball courts, a new women's locker room and
various other new facilities were added.
"At that point, the center really started to grow in
leaps and bounds," he said.
The P.E. Center is now waiting to begin Phase
Three, but Gentry doesn't know when this might
take place.
"The way the money situation is right now, we
don't know how long it will be," he said.
