ATHLETIC UPDATE
Intramurals

It's fun and games this semester as I refuse to
offer an activity where people become too
competitive. Unless a team practices four
times a week, life shouldn't be taken quite so
seriously. Nerf Broomball is on the agenda for
now and the staff and faculty teams only have
seven players. Sign up by contacting Betty Lou
(5338) or Steve Sale. This game requires no
skills, no particular degree of fitness and
certainly no protective equipment. Do come
and spectate on Thursdays between 1200 to 1400
hours.

Aerobics

Aerobics, Slow Stretch and No-Bounce Aerobics
are offered at lunch time, Monday thru Thursday,
from 1210 to 1250 hours.

The weight room is open 0900 to 1900 hours; any
of the weight room attendants will be happy to
assist you with beginner's programs in weight
training.

 

Women's and Men's Basketball

The men's and women's basketball teams are back
after a ten day sojourn in the sunshine of Hawaii
where they played basketball, tanned, rode
mopeds, body-surfed, took in the sights and
wrote exams.

A picture display in the glass bulletin board by
the gymnasium shows several sunny Hawaiin
sites enjoyed by our students. If you attend any
one of our upcoming basketball games, you will
see just how brown everyone became in Hawaii.

Gerry Della Mattia's office is the present home

of the 2nd place trophy brought home by the

Douglas College's Women's Basketball team and

a 4th place trophy from the men's team.
Hawaiin Highlights

Mirjana Jurcic, Becky Watson, Al Church and
Randy Stevens were selected as tournament

All-Stars. Coaches Richard Norman and Mike
Garisto spent the entire 10 day cramming their
basketball team (and occasionally us) into
battered old station wagon to get around the
Island.

Steve Beauchamp jogged with his team while
Jean Gray climbed into volcano craters to take
better pictures. However, Kris Remmen took
the best pictures of the trip and was also rivaled
by all of North America's best general managers,
in terms of co-ordinating 40 people on vacation.
She even got to the beach twice! Of course how
inefficient can a person who works in the
Accounting Department be? (Thanks for the
help Kris, I know the teams appreciated it as
well.)

The trip can be summed up in these words,
"Where's the tournament going to be held next
year?"

Men's Volleyball

This team is ranked 6th in Canada and has heen
undefeated in tournament play this year. The
team is 9-0 to date, followed by second place
VCC who are 6-4.

The bleachers were full at their match against
VCC last Saturday, and the fans weren't
disappointed when Douglas College came up
with the big win. Look for them to represent
British Columbia atthe National championshi)'s
in March.
