Intramurals Are Perked Up by PERC Intramural sports is for everyone; from anyone who played sports in high school to those who simply want to participate in sports with their friends. Fitting competitive sports into a hectic schedule was often impossible for some students whe reas participating in intramural sports could fill the need of exercise and competitive play without demanding an excess amount of time. Each year the intramural program expands and conforms to the needs of the students. This year, the new PERC facility enabled participants to enjoy such sports as volleyball, badmittion, and basketball, to name a few. With more play area, numerous activities could be held at the same time, giving better time schedules for the games. This was in contrast to the late night games sometimes held at midnight in the old gym. Men ' s women ' s and co-ed teams with names such as Brew Babies in basketball and Loop ' s Poops in softball participated in the fun and exercise that intramurals provide.
