Many Chances for Participation In Women's Intramural Program
By JANE PECINOVSKY
In order to give every girl an opportunity to participate in a sport she enjoys, the women's intramural program offers a variety of activities for the 600 persons from sorority houses, dormitories, and scholarship halls who compete.
Organized in 1925 by Miss Ruth Hoover, associate professor of physical education, the program has grown throughout the years and is now regarded as one of the most outstanding organizations on the campus.
A basketball tournament comprised of 24 teams opened the season's program in the fall. The teams were divided into groups of 4 or 5 and the winners from each division met in a play-off. Volleyball, which follows basketball, is handled in the same manner, as is softball, the spring tournament sport.
Individual sports, which include tennis singles and doubles, badminton singles and doubles, table
tennis singles and doubles, and a golf tournament in the fall and spring, are open to four girls from each organized house. After the games have been arranged by the intramural office, the girls schedule their own matches, and return the results to the office.
Girls who have earned 120 points by participation in intramural sports are eligible for membership in the Women's Athletic association, an honorary organization. Ten points may be won each time a girl is a member of a team or plays in an individual event, and if she is chosen for the class basketball team she is awarded 100 points.
High school Playday sponsored by the WAA will be held April 30. Girls particularly interested in basketball, volleyball, and baseball will be organized into teams which are composed of students from different schools.
The organization, directed by Miss Joe Stapleton, associate professor of physical education, also sponsors Sports day with the universities of Baker, Ottawa, and Washburn. Hockey is the most popular sport at this event and next year the game will be played on this campus.
Quack club, headed by Miss Hoover, and Tau Sigma, directed by Miss Shirley Hughes, physical education instructor, are the other two organizations associated with the intramural program. Both the swimming club and the modern dance society require try-outs before membership is gained.
Awards are presented each year by the WAA to the girls who have acquired the most points. To any graduating senior who has collected 2,000 points a plaque is awarded, for 1,000 points a blazer, and for 500 a KU letter.
