The University of Denver wants to lx a good neighbor. It is making itself an integral part of the community sponsoring community events and offering a wide range of recreational activities in its facilities. The DU School of Education sponsored the first state-wide competition in the Olympics of the Mind program on April 16. Elementary schools belonging to the Olympics of the Mind Association Inc., selected students to form creative problem solving teams. Long term problems were given in advance, and spontaneous problems were posed the day of the competition. Judges considered style and presentation, as well as the answer. Winners of this competition were eligible to attend a national meet in Minnesota during Memorial Day weekend. The largest ice show in the Rocky Mountain Region is produced annually by the DU Ice Arena. The theme of this year's show, held April 22-23, was Mostly Magic. It featured over 200 performers age 3 to 23 jjlus fathers in a father-daughter num- Anyone taking ice skating lessons through the arena in January was eligible to be in the show. The individual numbers of this year's show reflected their themes: Ocean Odyssey, Wizardry, Magic Cats and the Computer Decade to name a few. More than three months went into planning and rehearsals, and over 100 volunteers helped to produce the show. ' Mostly Magic' was a show everyone could lx? proud of, said Susan Williams, director of the show. The Hoyt Brawner Basketball Tournament, named after a former DU athletic director, is important to many in Colorado. This year 87 teams competed in the tournament from all over the state. The teams came from different community centers and from boys' and girls' clubs. They ranged in age from 13-15 years old. DU also interacts with the surrounding community by providing summer sport camps. Instructional programs are provided in volleyball, swimming, hockey and gymnastics. These camps teach youth special skills. The hockey school, for example is instructed by members of the Pioneer hockey team and directed by Ron Grahame.

Options include ice skating, gymnastics, weight training, self defense and others. The average price for these classes ranges from $37 for once a week sessions to $65 for a class meeting twice a week. 27 — Cindy Peters

Photo S 1 MADE FUN ynchronize your watches ... on your mark, get set, go. And we're off to another astronomy class. Dr. Everhart in charge. Astronomy, a course which will fill a natural science requirement is much more than a class you have to take. By the end of the quarter you will have learned everything you want to know (or didn't want to know) about synodic and sidereal periods, locating stars and planets in the sky, the discovery of comets and the various types of telescopes in the world. Professor Everhart is the stereotypical scientist. He's short, and m JS .1 T 3 hut jolly looking. He has wild, white hair that is ] X I t 1 7 f balding on top and bushy sideburns. He always seems like he's YV i. l tl. ± Up to something and has a mischievous glint in his eye, almost like a five-year-old. He is curious, enthusiastic and energetic about astronomy and life. It is rare to see such qualities in a professor. In a typical class we discussed double stars and were challenged with the question of directions as they appear in the sky. After a few minutes of argument with the class. Dr. Everhart teasingly said, Well, 1 guess I'll just find out on the test. Everhart's mischievousness and energy is revealed through his many analogies for demonstrations of astronomical occurrences. Today we were learning about the orbits of double stars when Everhart whipped out a drawer from a lab table, dumped the contents noisily onto the floor and displayed a diagram which was drawn on the bottom of the drawer. The diagram was of an eclipse: the path that a star follows around its companion star. A distance scale drawing of planets' places in the universe caused Everhart to illustrate Uranus to scale chalked in on the classroom door. Another analogy Everhart makes is this: imagine a giant bowl of oatmeal. What would you get if you dropped a bowling ball into it? Something similar to a central peak of a crater which is caused by a meteorid hitting the moon's surface. Everhart's antics make astronomy an amusing as well as a true learning experience. — Theresa Frank
