Intramurals

int ramm

IU's intramural program ranges from September to June, from football to softball. The competition is keen, and the spirit high. Each year a trophy is given to the organized or independent unit having the largest total points in all the intramural events. To win this trophy means winning recognition throughout campus. The trophy signifies the ability to combine education and recreation for the betterment of the University and its student body.

We see some of the spirit of America in intramurals, for it was this keen competitive spirit that made America what it is. To study hard, to play hard, and come away knowing you are better for it.

Intramurals

Intramurals are and have always been one of I.U.'s finest activities. The relaxation and competitive spirit they afford the college man contributes more than is realized to his success in the classroom.

The University's administration feels that Intramurals are necessary to the moral and physical health of the I.U. student. The excess energy that one feels after sitting all day in a classroom, may be expended in a clean, entertaining way.

Athletics have become the foundation for the healthful growth of America's youth. Intramurals are a basic part of this foundation.

It's a tossup. With form like this, can it be intramurals?

Hips, elbows, and a lot of bruises.

residences

Campus housing is more than board and room . . . it represents our home for four years of learning. Trailer, fraternity, dormitory, co-op, and out-in-town living . . . the student chooses his own. He may live with a close-knit group of friends or prefer the wider experience of dormitory living . . . but it is here that the banker's daughter from Chicago rooms with a girl from Thailand. It is here the student learns to live on his own—he budgets his time, money, and clean socks. He makes decisions and adjustments —he must get to that 7:30, study for the physics test, and write the term report. This is the transi-

tion from high school to college. But this is not all he learns . . . He shares the experience of bull sessions and classroom debates. He airs opinions over the dining tables. He becomes aware of religions, races, and ethnic groups—ways of living different from his own. He learns tolerance and understanding. His mind matures . . . and as a part of this maturity he cannot help learning the great lesson of 'living with others' . . .
