Recreation Association Not Only for Athletic Women
The Women's Recreation Association has been on campus for many years, but there are still students who do not seem to know its purpose. As the title suggets, WRA is for all women students enrolled in the University. WRA gives the women students the opportunity to participate in various sports, both individual and team.
Why then, are students still unaware of WRA's function? It seems that many students have the misconception that the intramural program sponsored by WRA is for the benefit of only those women who are athletically inclined.
However, a look at an evening of intramural activities will quickly erase this belief from everyone's minds. After witnessing a basketball game or volleyball game between two women's teams, an observer can see and understand why the intramural program is for all women.
The reason for this change of mind is simply that any athletic event provides entertainment for both participators and spectators.
Individual Sports are Popular
The individual sports, also, provide entertainment for the women students but do not usually draw crowds of spectators. However, the women who participate in individual sports are equally as important to a team as the women who participate on the team sports. This is due to the fact that an award is given to the team whose members collect the largest number of points.

Although emphasis is placed on group participation, individuals are also given recognition at the end of the program. Each participating team selects the woman that they feel has been the most beneficial player to the team.
Teams Bring Cheering Section
given to the first, second and third place winners in both the individual and team sports. At the end of the intramural program the points are totaled and the awards are given to the winners at the annual WRA banquet.
Many of the women's teams bring their own cheering section to the games. The women who come to cheer usually end up as excited as those women who are playing. A member of one team was overheard to say:
"It's so much more fun to play when our cheering section comes with us. We feel that we're doing something for them and we know that they're doing something for us."
But, the WRA intramural program provides more than just entertainment for the women students. It gives them an opportunity to learn about the various sports; it gives them the opportunity to gain interest in new sports or continue participating in their favorite sports, and it allows the women to "let off steam" periodically. But, one woman summed up a lot of women's opinions when she said:
Women on the campus are becoming more and more aware of the benefits of WRA as the list of participants grows annually. However, WRA officials would like to see more women come to the games even if they are not planning to participate.
"Intramurals are great. They're a legal way to break quiet hours."
WRA has recently decided to continue having sports clinics at the beginning of each intramural sport season. These clinics provide demonstrations of techniques and explanation of rules. A side effect of these clinics seems naturally to be less of a chance of injury due to ignorance of the game that the women are participating in.
