e hope of being the star on one of the university ' s athletic is tha t of many. But in reality we all can ' t be stars, at least not on that level of competition. So the university offers intramural sports of every kind to those whose deep-down desire is to be the star or for those who are just out there, on the court or the field to have a good time. Teams and players, male, female, and coed, from across campus gather almost every night to play their respective sport. and individuals are welcomed to sign up and give it their all. But remember this is all in good fun, sportsmanship is key (plus sportsmanship points are extremely important when moving up in the brackets for your sport). Sports are arranged semester by semester with interests in flag football, volleyball, tennis, soccer, basketball, track, swimming, golf, and pretty much anything else. In addition to the regular there is a competitive framework that leads to an intramural champion. There are also tournaments such as the Swamp Bowl and Billy D 3-on-3, where players and teams from pretty much everywhere are invited to compete. And as a new addition to the intramural program, sand volleyball courts were built next to the Southwest Recreation Center. Initial tournament play begins in November. So if you have an interest in pretty much any sport, intramurals are your ticket to having a good time. Making friends, enjoying the competition, celebrating victory, feeling the heartache of defeat, succeeding at personal goals, pride in your performance, and getting down and dirty is all a part of intramurals at UF. Take advantage of it. 16

Although many dorms have gotten new furniture, others were stuck with leftovers. Luckily though Hume Hall is in its last year. As the largest dorm on campus falls we can only wonder where the university will put all the incominf freshmen. Although sharing a room with a complete stranger sounds like a horrible nightmare many students found Dorm life to be fun and made everlasting friendships. Who wouldn ' t want to experience dorm life for at least one semester? For those of us who have, it is hard to forget. You know, remember how each floor had its own particular smell and how the carpet in your room was more or less crawling with hugs, that is if you even had carpeting. Above all, who could forget that wonderful community bathroom experience. What is it that they say? Oh yes! That which doesn ' t kill us makes us stronger, well if you survived dorm life, then you are a superhero! Granted some dorms offer the luxuries of full kitchens and clean bathrooms, a majority did not. All in all the dorm life was interesting and unique, but I wonder why so many students opted to get apartments after their first year?
