WESTERN CAROLINIAN August 20, 2010 SP OER TS Fall Intramurals a good way to spend free time Joshua Farmer | Staff Writer When entering or return- ing to college for the fall se- mester, many students find themselves without much to do. Although course loads are generally larger, it often seems as if there is nothing to do. Maybe because the lazy days of summer have come to an end, or for a freshmen student, because they are a bit nervous about living away from home for the first time. For those looking to find a way to fill their time this fall, Intramural sports can be a fun way. The department of Cam- pus Recreation and Well- ness (CRW) offers Intramu- ral sports in the fall. They also hold Intramurals during the spring semester, howev- er there is often less variety to choose from. Intramu- rals are good for incom- ing freshman or continuing students with a competitive nature but also serve as a way to build and/or make friendships. This is because WCU cross country teams have _ any organization with the adequate amount of players can form a team and com- pete. By allowing students to do this, the CRW assists in building the communi- ty atmosphere on campus. Many different organiza- tions compete against one another in Intramurals at WCU. Fraternities, sorori- ties, dorms and religious or- ganizations all enter into competition. Some of these organizations are the Baptist Student Union (BSU), or Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU). Often, it is a group of friends that come to- gether to enjoy themselves and build relationships with one another. Each in- dividual team is allowed to name themselves within the guidelines of propriety. In the past, a few of the more successful teams have had names such as PTP, Yahtzee and TBD. In many cases, teams simply use acronyms to name their teams. For students or organiza- tions interested in creating a team for Intramurals, the Coed intramural football games are played on the fields across from the Ramsey Center. process is easy. First, all participants must be reg- istered WCU students and have no significant health problems inhibiting them from. rigorous athletic ac- tivity. They must also fol- low all university guidelines and regulations. Secondly, the organization, or group of friends must go to the Campus Recreation Center (CRC) to sign up too par- ticipate. At the CRC, the stu- dent must swipe their card to get in, then follow the main haliway down to the equip- season opener on Sept. 3 From Staff Reports Western Carolinas men and womens cross country teams schedule includes five seasonal events including hosting the season-opener and culminating with the an- nual Southern Conference Championship in Boone. This schedule will allow us to continue on our path towards the top of the South- erm Conference, said head coach Danny Williamson who is entering his 26th year coaching the cross country teams at WCU. Our sched- ule is one that will allow us to be able to compete and develop at the same time. Each competition affords us a little tougher task. And with the every other week- end format of competition, a [ Mt felt jo|m tlo[N/e| loli [vials Molalr|s! ae pe ed ON a Le Is|e[ole| ole) Fo} N |e | it will give us ample time to _ be prepared to give our best uetrort. Cullowhee will play host to the season-opening West- ern Carolina Invitational on the evening of Friday, Sept. 3. The women will run a two-mile course while the men will circumnavigate the 5K course, both of which represent the shortest races of the season. Teams will hit the starting line at 6:30 pm. The next four events will feature 5K womens races and 8K on the mens side. Western Carolina will take part in the Winthrop Invita- tional in Rock Hill, S.C., in mid-September before run- ning in the UNC Charlotte Invitational two weeks later on Oct. 1 at McAlpine Creek Park in Charlotte. Solution , The cross country ver- ment cages/locker rooms. In the future, according to one source from the CRC, com- puter registration is in the works, In the Fall, the CRW offers many different Intra- mural sports. These include arm wrestling, basketball, bowling, dodge-ball, flag football, indoor soccer, ul- timate frisbee and racquet- ball. Many of these activi- ties have classes for men, for women and for coed teams. Several, though, are only of- fered for men and women such as arm wrestling and badminton. In any case, Intramurals provide a place for new WCU students to participate in a competitive atmosphere while building teamwork skills with others around them. Often, members of a team that work together well end up as close friends. In college, friends are an im- portant part of the experi- ence. The skills that a stu- dent learns from competing closely with others are im- Photo Submitted perative and often help out in the classroom as well.

I dont think the out-of-state tuition waiver program will come back. North Carolina taxpay- ers were the ones picking up the tab for the tuition waiver, and with the economy still not quite out of the Reces- sion, budgets are tight every- where. Smith did not have to think long when asked how the new budget rules will af- fect athletics at Western Car- olina University. Dramatically. It hits us for about 60 students, and eliminates almost $700,000 in scholarship support.

The roughly 60. students who are taking advantage of the program will not be affected, as the NCAA pro- vides an appeal process. They will not lose their scholarships, and will contin- ue to be able to pay in-state tuition until they graduate, so the new budget rules will not be short-changing them, or forcing them to go to a more affordable college. However, no new out-of-state students can be considered for the program now that it has been eliminated from North Caro- linas budget, which could impact recruiting in the fu- ture for Western Carolina athletics.
