o ooooooooooooooooooc I he University of Denver's club sports teams found varying degrees of success this spring in competition. They faced other club teams in the area and some heavily funded and recruited varsity college teams. Some club teams were handicapped by a lack of experienced players. but should continue to improve as the squads mature and attract more participants and spectators. The DU Rugby team again fell on hard times during the spring season compiling a 1-8-1 record. Lack of experience was the main problem as many of DU's players were relatively new to the game and did not completely understand its concept The rugby team looks for more success next season as they attempt tQ raise the level of their play on the field to that achieved in post-game activities. The women's softball team finished the season with on 8-11 record which included victories against the Colorado School of Mines. Air Force. New Mexico Highlands and Northeastern Junior College. Opposing coaches throughout the season were impressed by DU's high level of play for a club team. Pioneer Coach Don Rochl felt that the team could have done even better but was hampered by the lousy spring weather. Standouts for the team included pitchers Mary Finn, Stephanie Scanlon and Lori Bangert while Susan Glaser, Jeanne McGraw, Betti Wampler, Paige Richardson, Karen Steele, Kelly Smith and Deanne Duca all contributed from their various positions. The DU Volleyball Club continuec to field strong men's, women's and co-ed teams in the regional Unitec States Volleyball Association tournaments. The men's team won the Colorado Open. Metropolitan State College and Vail International touma ments while the women's team was victorious at the Regis and Metropolitan State College tournaments. DU looks to continue their strong volleyball program with the womer s team moving up to varsity status beginning in the fall of 1983 — Doug Towne

April 3-10 U izza eating, Family Feud and stairwell relays were just a few of the many competitions open to residents of the apartment and residence halls when the Department of Residence sponsored its second annual Residence Hall Week, April 3-10 Several of the rather unique events included an obstacle course entitled, A Day in the Life of a DU Student designed by the events committee. Each team consisted of one contestant and three assistants. The contestant started out lying on a mattress, and at the signal, stuffed a pillow into a pillow case, ran to his shower (a glass of water dumped on him by an assistant), dried off with a towel and dressed himself in a garbage bag with arm and head holes cut out. Next he ate a cup of oatmeal for breakfast, grabbed a load of books, went to math class and correctly solved six addition and subtraction problems then continued on to his workout of jumping jacks. Another assistant Residence Halls Round Up Their Best for Fun Competition and votes by the student counted as half of the iuflgTrv! Musical styles varied from tne B-52's to Diana Ross to the Charlie Daniels Band. No real instruments were allowed and imaginationfrlourished. Curling irons became tl'um sticks and microphones, liquor bottles were trumpets, trombones were made with baseball bats and rolls of maskine tape and flames were produced by shooting hair spray into lighters. Costumes were creative and varied also. Lorn; black dresses, mini skirts, bandana turbans, cowboy hats, shimmering gold dresses and pants, loud Sties and vests accented the groups and added to the overall performarKe. Cathy Ohr ut, the Director of J-Mac, coordinated the event, assisted bv a committee of students from each Bfnce hall and a representative of resi proceeded to a party, had a beer or soda, passed out in a shopping cart, was wheeled home by his assistants and put back into bed. Originally scheduled for the soccer field, the event was moved to Hall's Main Lounge because the ground was still soggv from snow earlier in the week. Other events included a room dec -orating contest with Creative Classy and Disgustingly Disorderly divisions, a banana eat and an air band contest. Despite problems with the unexpected large spectator turnout and equipment complications, the air band contest was a favorite of many. Twelve bands participated the apartment halls. Although it was rzut's first year at DU, she pre-jsly ran similar competitions at ie University of Wisconsin at Whitewater and used many of the same planning strategies. Each committee member was given an event to coordinate. The theme was We're Roundin' Up the Best and a western theme banquet complete with rattle-snack meat, as well as oilier entees, was planned to finish the week and give out awards. Due to a lack of reservations though, the dinner was cancelled and replaced with free ice cream social on April 17. In each event, participants competed for themselves, their wing and their hall. For the purpose of the competition, wings were defined as whole floors for Towers and Halls (men's and women's), corresponding men's and women's wings for )-Mac and the entire building tor the apartment halls. The amount of participation by residents of the residence nails pleased Obrzut, but she was somewhat unsure of the lack of participation by apartment residents. She said one reason she'd been given was that residents often moved there to get away from the group activities of tne residence halls and become more serious about their studies. Kathy Wirthlin, the committee member representing the apartments said that she thought part of the problem was a lack of information and confusion about the competition. Each apartment received only one flyer and Obrzut agreed that a lack of personal contact was probably a contributing factor. Generous awards, funded by the Department of Residence, were given to top finishers. In each event, team members and individuals who won first place received Superstars t-shirts, specially designed for the week. Second place winners each received a $3 gift certificate to Domino's Pizza and third place winners received gift certificates worth $ 1 at Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream. In addition, the first five winners of every event received points for their wing and hall. Centennial Halls accumulated the most points for the week and received the travelling trophy. J-Macs first-third had the most wing points for participation. The three top wings won $75, $50 and S25, respectively, for their activity budgets. — Dorothy Webb Z
