Over the past weekend, flyers were posted around campus stating that the future of intramurals was in trouble and in dire need of help from th • women of this campus. The present form of intramurals is to be changed to a combined council of six women and six men. This council would then govern all future activities of intramurals. A meeting was scheduled 'or Monday night at 7:30 p.m. in Zimmerii lobby. A grand total of three (3) women showed up to express their concern and interest in intramurals. With this type of turnout nol much could be accomplished concerning the future of the council. Is this all the concern that the women of this campus could render to the continuation of the intramural program? It seems that few students are aware of the people and time needed in Older to run successful intramural activities. As of now, all the responsibility is in the hands of only a few while their efforts are being taken advanti-a- of by the unconcerned, urinvolved women of this campu;.. Without more help from our students our program will nol be able to offer all of the activities now available. I would like to ttiank Ms. Wood of the Physical Education department for all of her time, energy and concern which she has contributed towards the betterment of the program. I would again ask anyone interested in helping in any way or anyone wilh any suggestions to see Pat Fox, Beth Miller or Ms. Wood as soon as possible. Thank vou.
