Sports: From flag football to volleyball, the fall program has just begun
Continued from page 9B
to a roster sheet (available at 102
Esslinger). One player from each team
acts as the manager, serving as a liai
son between the team and the Rec.
Sports Office, and attending the re
quired preseason managers meeting.
The first meeting, for flag football,
is Oct. 3.
There is a flat fee per team, usually
about $45 split between players.
Three-on-three basketball only costs
$15 per team.
For many new students who find it
hard to scrounge up enough players to
field a team, there is a free agent listing
for each sport available in 102
Esslinger.
Brent Harrison, director of recre
ational sports, said the best way to en
sure free agents get on a team is for
them to go to the managers meeting
for the sport.
Each sport is divided into men’s,
women’s and coed. Within each
league there are three divisions based
on skill and competitiveness.
Division I is the most competitive
and is the highest level of play avail
able before college varsity and club
sports. Division III is for players with
little skill or knowledge about the
sport. The most popular is Division II
because it provides an equal mix be
tween competitiveness and recreation,
Harrison said.
“The most fun (league) is coed, be
cause it’s laid back,” senior Daniel
Clark said. He was a member of last
year’s Division I championship flag
football team.
During the winter, players can par
ticipate in five-on-five basketball,
volleyball and floor hockey. Spring
brings softball, soccer, Ultimate Frisbee
and four-on-four volleyball.
If you are interested, go for it, insists
Clark. “It’s a lot of fun,” he said. “You
get to hang out with your friends
and compete.”
13th: Avenue is a slice of University history
Continued from page 10B
Thirteenth Avenue has also
proven to be a popular
venue for students stag
ing protests, and since
the partial closure of
the street, there have
been numerous demon
strations and anti-war
gatherings. During the Vietnam
War, 13 th Avenue served as the
staging area for many
such protests.
Jim Williams, man
ager of the University
of Oregon Bookstore, said that
ultimately, the street is a reflec
tion of the community that
uses it.
“If you were a student in
1965 and a student in 2005,
you would notice that you have
more in common with the
street now than you would
have in the ‘60s,” said
Williams, a student at the Uni
versity in 1965.
Although there have been
few physical changes to the
outside of the buildings on
13th Avenue near campus,
there have been a number
businesses coming and go
ing, such as Face the Music,
Sunshop Electronics and
Taco Bell. Yet many businesses, like
Sy’s Pizza, Taylor's Bar & Grille
and the US Bank branch, have
operated in the same location
for decades.
David Andersen, the gener
al manager at the Glenwood
Cafe, came to campus in
1972. He said that the Glen
wood, which sits nearby on Alder
Street, is one of the structures com
pletely original to the 13th Av
enue area. The building was
formerly a physician’s home
and became Aunt Lucy
Divine’s, the forerunner of
today’s Glenwood.
Andersen said there has always
been a steady stream of people,
mostly students, moving through
the area, but things are different
now. There were more transient
young people in the 1970s than
there are now, he said.
“The Glenwood Cafe was at one
point open 24 hours, and in the
evenings, one could find many
young people here spending the
night,” he said. “Many students
I would come in looking for a
place to stay for the night, and
eat and drink with their friends.”
Williams said that much of the
pan handling, which was a prob
lem in the 1980s and 1990s, has
been cleaned up now.
