Winter skis and clothing may
be going in the attic for the next
few months, but the Univer
sity’s alpine and nordic ski
teams already are gearing up for
next year’s season.
With a new head coach and
developmental coach, the club
sports teams are looking for
ward to a great year, but they
are not waiting for the next
snowfall before they begin
training, says team manager
Barbie Rogers.
The ski club is encouraging
all intermediate and above level
skiers who are interested in
joining the team to attend an
organizational meeting Thurs
day at 7:00 p.m. in Room
107/108 EMU.
The club’s alpine and nordic
team rosters are far from full,
which is why the ski club is in
need of new members, Rogers
says.
Normally, an alpine racing
team is made up of eight men
and eight women and a nordic
team has three men and three
women.
Nordic skiers can compete
either individually or as part of
a three member relay team, says
R\hu can have it all...
with RIM!

IM Golf at Tokatee - RIM has been able to schedule the IM Golf Tournament this ( *\\
year at Tokatee Golf Club. It is located 47 miles from Eugene on Highway 126, V ,/Aw
6% miles east of Blue River. This is an 18 hole tournament. If you play golf, treat

come into the RIM office and pick up a free map. While you're here, sign up for the
Frisbee Golf Doubles Tournament to be played on Wednesday, May 15.
A New Idea - RIM is considering changing the league structure for 1985-86. Currently
there are leagues as follows: Men's I and II, Women's I and II, Coed I and II. The follow
ing new league structure is being considered: Dorm league, Greek league and Open
league. Within the Dorm and Greek league there would be divisions for men's,
women's and coed play. The Open league would have a I and II division for men's,
women's and coed teams. Dorms and Greeks could choose to play in the Open league.
This idea is in the infant stage. If you have suggestions or comments, you may wish to
put them in writing or come in and talk with Karla.

Lisa Keller, a member of the
women’s nordic team.
However, due to a lack of
membership, there is no relay
team as of yet, she adds.
“It (the nordic team) is totally
depleted,” Keller says. “It is
disappointing because there is
no one to train with.”
Despite the lack of team
mates, Keller took a first and se
cond place in two meets last
a
season and qualified for
regional competition in
Washington.
Women’s individual nordic
races "start easy" at 5
kilometers and progress to 7
kilometers by the end of the
season. Men’s races start at 10
kilometers and progress to 15
kilometers, Keller says.
