Marty Morris mm ' Marry Mo A thletics have al- ways been an im- portant part of State ' s campus life. MSU sponsors over 20 dif- ferent intercollegiate teams that compete in the Southeastern Con- ference, always one of the most competitive in the NCAA. Complementing varsity athletics, State also boasts the strong- est Intramural program in the SEC. The De- partment of Recreation and Intramural Athlet- ics is responsible for the management and scheduling of State ' s various intramural fa- cilities. Over 65% of the students attending MSU are involved in the more than 60 ac- tivities sponsored by the Intramural Sports Department. Whether cheering on Coach Ron Polk ' s Diamond Dogs during the Spring, or playing tennis or ra- quetball at the intra- mural courts, most State students partici- pate in MSU athletics in one way or another. Varsity and intramural activities provide a val- uable break from the trials and frustrations of seemingly endless lectures and class as- signments. OPENING 1 1
