Florida ' s warm climate and usually sunny skies encouraged students to par- ticipate in outdoor activities the year. The Intramurals department offers a variety of leagues in over ten sports each semester. Groups of friends were often seen participating in pick-up games of basketball, football and Another favorite way to spend time was going to the nearest beaches: Crescent Beach and St. Augustine Beach. A little closer to home, Lake Wauberg also provided a good escape for Students rented canoes, kayaks, sailboats and rowboats. Many quiet, grassy areas were also available for those who just wanted to relax, read, or study. The Devil ' s Millhopper and the Medicinal Gardens were other favorite spots to enjoy nature and get away from the hectic university life. The 34th Street wall was almost lost as the local message board when Jim Evangelist wanted to paint a mural over the graffiti. The Reitz Union Program Council ' s Art Committee built a 40-foot wall of paper at the union for students to show their support of the graffiti. Two Gainesville residents printed anti-mural t-shirts to protest Evangelist ' s mural idea. Most everyone agreed the concept for the mural, the endangered wildlife, was a good idea, it was that the graffiti on the wall was an eye-sore that needed to be covered permanently that most students disagreed with. After a while, the controversy died and the wall still stood . . . covered with graffiti. — John Webster 2) C. Kuperman 1) J.
