jor sports. The first tournament
held in the fall is volleyball, fol-
lowed during the winter months
by basketball. The team sports
calendar is concluded with soft-
ball in the spring.
Besides the team tournaments,
individual play-offs are held in
sports such as ping pong, tennis
and badminton. An all-campus
swimming meet is held in the fall.
These individual tournaments are
sponsored by the various WAA
clubs.
The only requirement for parti-
cipation in the intramural sports
program is an interest in the ac-
tivities. Because they afford an
opportunity to become acquaintedi

with the recreation offered, wo-
men are encouraged to join these
activities.

monds at Palmer Field. Residence
