WRA Award Cup
Put on Term Basis
An experiment to award the
Women’s Recreation association
cup on a term basis, rather than
annually as has been done in the
past, is being initiated winter
term, according to Mary Jordan,
WRA president. The cup will be
given at the beginning of this
spring term.
The participation cup is award
ed to the women's living organi
zation which participates most ex
tensively in the WRA sports pro
gram. Points for winning the cup
are based on the percentage of
girls in each house participating
in WRA intramurals, plus each
girl's amount of participation,
Miss Jordan said. In the past, it
has been awarded during Junior j
weekend.
Formerly, the number of games
won and lost also figured as a
basis for the awards but this is
being discontinued, she said.
“WRA is taking these steps in
an effort to make the cup more
accessible to houses with a small
membership, who participate but
do not win,’’ Miss Jordan said.
“We are attempting to work out j
a more comprehensive program
to meet the desires of women stu
dents in the field of athletics.’’
Sports offered this term on the
WRA program include badminton 1
and basketball. If any living or
ganization has not received ad-;
vance material on the program, ;
they are asked to contact Betty
Waters, head of sports, at the
physical education office in Ger
linger.
