mpetitive involvement 3y MIe Ward For the many students who I enjoyed athletic competition, but - could not participate in organized I athletics, the intramural program - offered a chance for relaxation and friendly competition. The intramural program supple- - ments the academic mission of the school. My job is to pick activities - that can help improve the emotional as well as the physical well being of the students, said Greg Engle, director of the intramural program. Sporting events offered by the intramural department ranged from Softball to bowling to water basket- ball. Self-organized teams competed - against each other in individual events as well as the year long points competition based on rankings from the events. Members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity won the points competition in the men ' s division in a close battle with the Pi Kappa Alpha team. SAE took first place in volleyball, flag football, softball, bowling and free throws to secure their title. The women of Alpha Gamma Deha edged out LaGrange Hall for the overall title by a total of 116 points. Changes in the intramural pro- gram that Engle hoped to start soon were the addition of more water p l t! ) ! sports and some type of aerobic competition. We have always had water basketball, but we hope to increase the number of aquatic sports, said Engle. Additionally, Engle hoped to get more involvement from the faculty. The continued growth of the intramural program would help both faculty members and students enjoy the competitive nature of athletics. The intramural program is for everyone, said Engle, and the more participation we get, the better the program will be.

t%J 7 IT ' S EASIER to meet people at a small col- lege. The atmosphere seems more relaxed, and students are more than just so many faces in a crowd. Sedric Bamett and Alli- son Rosaman meet for conversation and to watch the people go by in front of the Univer- sity Center. (Photo by Marcus Leach) REGISTERING FOR CLASSES is easier in a smaller college— that stands to reason: there are fewer students vying for the same classes.

Each fall the Lions play several home games in Braly Municipal Stadium, which is within walking dis- tance of campus. Steven Herston and Beth Holt watch as the Lions defeat GSC rival Delta State 31-12 in a September matchup. (Photo by Marcus Leach)
