Texas A I Women ' s volleyball team: Clara Aguilar, Carmen Gonzalez, Oralia Hernandez, Betty Krnavek, Terri King, Shirley McDermand, Debi Arbuckle, Virginia Miller, Lulu Sparkman, Roxonne Norris, Lupe Uresie, A S I HPE Department Undertakes Plans for Women ' s Athletic Team Debi Arbuckle served as an excellent spiker for the team. Plans for a women ' s athletic team were undertaken this year by the Health and Physical Education De- partment. The team would be divided into four areas consisting of a basketball team, a volleyball team, a tennis team, and a badminton team. A5tl had not had a women ' s team for the past three years. The team will be sponsored by Betty Brewer, physical education instructor and women ' s coach. The women ' s volleyball team, the first in the project, got off to a success- ful start. At the time the Texas A6 I Javelinas were shooting for national honors, the women ' s volleyball team was going for state honors in the Texas Recreation Federation of College Women (TRFCW) playoff tournament in Houston. In their first year in federation com- petition, this was the inaugural trip to state playoffs by an A I volleyball team. The women earned the right to the playoffs by surprising members of Dis- trict VII. A6cl romped by experienced teams from Del Mar, Bee County Junior College, and Pan American to win the district crown and advance to the state meet. Although the team failed in its first attempt for state championship honors, the women were eager to get organized into a women ' s basketball team. Members of the A I Women ' s volley- ball team include: Clara Aguilar, San- dia junior; Carmen Gonzalez, Corpus Christi junior; Oralia Hernandez, Sinton junior; Betty Krnavek, Corpus Christi junior; Terri King, San Antonio fresh- man, and Shirley McDermand, Nome freshman. Other members include Debie Ar- buckle, George West freshman; Vir- ginia Miller, Jourdanton freshman; Lulu Sparkman, Roxanne Norris, Freer fresh- men; and Lupe Ureste, Brackettville sophomore.

students Work, Sweat, Groan to Build Superman Muscles in Weight-lifting Class Summer school found A I ' s HPE de- partment offering a weight training course under Jovelina Coach Fred Jonas. Each day there was an 80-minute workout for the purpose of developing the bodies of the students. The 19 students enrolled for the class followed a different workout pattern every day of the week and on Friday they topped everything off with a weight lifting contest. The purpose of the course was to build strength in six weeks time. This was to be done by lifting heavy weights or by overloading. One aspirant to the muscle bound crowd works on his bench presses. Another prospective Hercules perfects his curls. This Atlas seems to have already made the grade with his military presses.
