Swimming, track to go intramural Swimming and indoor and outdoor track on a regular basis will be added to this spring's intramural program. Tom Willis, of Lakeside recreation services, said last Wednesday. Softball, a standard program in the past, also will be part of the program, he said. Wilkerson said intramural basketball games had been reopened to the public. The games previously had been closed to spectators because fights among spectators, players and officials had disrupted games. Wilkerson said the decision to reopen was made in a meeting last month with Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor. Wilkerson said competition wasn't feasible because there was only one wrestling mat. He said however, that there would be wrestling competition next year because recreation services would have an additional wrestling mat. Wilkerson said of the decision, "We decided to handle each situation that did occur individually and not penalize the whole student body for the actions of a few."
