All College students are invited to, participate. Teams will be made up of three men and three women and will compete in a tug o’ war, keg put, relays, and an obstacle coarse. “We really want to get a lot of people involved,” superstars director, Loren Swivel said. “I want people to realize that they don’t need to be jocks to be in this. It’s just for fun.” Sign-up sheets are located oh the intramural bulletin board across from Swivel’s office (Randall 003). Wednesday, May 19, 1982 dominated the meet with 17 matches won. The nearest competition won only seven matches. The team was made up of nine players. “Bonnie (Dillman) is a returning player,” Michael ex plained. “She played number three for us last year and mov ed up to number one this year, and was a strong number one. She really improved. “Michelle Wilkins has seen a tremendous amount of im provement as pointed out by her high school coach,” Michael stated. “After watching her play one of the guys here one afternoon, she said that Michelle had improved quite a bit. “She really worked hard to adjust to the doubles game,” Michael continued. She had only played singles before and it takes quite an adjustment. “Mary (Imper) is the scrap per of the group/’ Michael said. “She played a lot of split sets and a lot of close matches this year and never gave up. “Lori (Dosier) was a very pleasant surprise when she showed up winter term, She had played both singles and doubles before. She was really pushed by Kim Lucas to hang on to the Number four spot.” “Lucas improved a great deal. She took ill near the end of the season which unfor tunately kept her from finishing well, but she had a -good season. “Lisa Spalding played both singles and doubles for us and I hope she returns. She’s a good team player. I’m sure that given another year, she would be a greater asset. “Sharon Bergstrom was probably the strongest hitter on the team,” she said. “She needs a little more time to gain some consistency. Toward the end of the season, her con sistency really improved. About Margerett Bierma Michael said, “I’ve been able to see a lot of progress in her abili ty. She came through my ten nis classes starting at beginning — last year. Given a little ex perience and time, she will definitely be a better tennis player.” I agree that winning is a state of mind, we’ve got the contest that proves it L Are you one of the unidentified few who’d rather do something than have something?
