.r - . INTRAMURALS_ New Sports Increase Interest Interest and participation in women's intramural athletics increa~ed during 1978-79 over the high level that had been maintained for the past few years. Club competition involved more students than the regular intramural events and development of the intramural field adjacent to the Athletic Center greatly facilitated the program. Barbara Barnes served her thirteenth' year as Director of Women 's Sports Program . "With the addition of club tennis, softball, speedball and club swimming," commented Mrs. Barnes, "we are making the program available to an even larger number of women . Our goal is to provide a well-organized. smoothly-run program that allows maximum enjoyment for all of our women students, whatever their level of athletic ability might be. Our objective is to teach a love of sports in a Christian setting." Club and intramural sports for the fall semester were softball , volleyball and speedball. Team sports for the spring semester in club competition were basketball , swimming, tennis , track and field and fast-pitch softball. Sports in intramural competition for the spring semester were basketball, fast-pitch softball, table tennis and badminton. To stimulate participation in the program in both team and individual sports, a point system was kept and jackets were awarded to the ten women who achieved the highest number of pOints throughout the school year. The awards were announced and presented at a chapel period near the end of the spriny semester. Jacket winners for 1977-78 were Paula Warnack, high pOint athlete, Kristy Rollman, Kim Morrison , Kathy McCoy, Karen Blackman , Connie Miller , Terri Jenkins , Shelley Kritz , Lynn Watson and Tammi Isaacs. Karen Blackman received the individual sportsmansfiip award and Theta Psi received the club sportsmanship trophy . In the spring of 1978, Tri Sigma Delta won first place in major club basketball and Tofebt was the champion in minor cl ub basketball. Tri Sigma Delta won the swimming con test and Phi Delta won the tennis championship. Competition in track and fie ld was very close with Tri Sigma Delta winning with 32112 pOints over Kappa Phi with 32 points. It was the first time since 1971 that Kappa Phi had not won the track meet. For the fall of 1978, Kappa Phi won first place in major club softball for the eleventh consecutive year, winning the major club volleyball competition as well. For the minor clubs, Chi Alpha Rho was the victor in softball and Theta Psi was first in volleyball. Ju Go Ju was the champion in speedball . To maintain a smoothly-run program, Mrs . Barnes had to depend upon capable student assistants. Assistants for 1978-79 were Karen Blackman, Jessica Moore , Paula Warnack and Lynn Watson. Many girls received experience through officiating the games. Sportsmanship was stressed at all times by Mrs. Barnes. Highlight of the year was the Women's Intramural Sports Banquet held in late April. Invited to the banquet were individual champions, intramural assistants and those women who had been on championship teams or All-star teams . 1.
