f ABBEY STUDENTS GET PHYSICAL You want to look good and feel healthy but you tell your- self that there isn ' t enough spare time considering your hectic class schedule and of course, resting schedule. What do you do? Become a weekend jock! Instead of sleeping in do what these people do — join intramurals. Play a friendly game of tennis, pump some iron in the Wheeler Center or take a walk around the perimeter. For the more serious athlete the weekend takes you to Old Dowd Road for a rugby game. Fri- day afternoons might find you involved in the many quad ac- tivities such as frisbee. hacky sac or a game of stickball. Even the non-athlete finds himself pulled into the jock scene. They are the ones cheering on the Crusaders on Saturday night or their favorite football team on Sunday afternoon. Somewhere deep down in all of us hides an athlete and at the Abbey it takes the weekend to let it out. f MK '

WWMHM The 11th annual Gaston County Special Olympics is no ordinary day for Belmont Ab- bey. It ' s a day for every student, teacher and administrator to make a special friend — an op- portunity that does not come along every day. It was a chance for the faculty to see the students outside the four walls of a classroom. Most of all, it was a chance for some kids to have a much deserved special day. And it was a special day, DAL one that occurred because of people like Danny Schlitt and Dr. Mike Reidy. It was a day that couldn ' t have happened without the people of Belmont, students from the Abbey and Sacred Heart as well as the fra- ternities. It was a day for the kids, their one moment of glory all year, but we were the real winners at Special Olympics — because we gained a special friend. Special Olympics gave Jerry Farley a chance to make a new friend.
