Mens' Intramural
8.8. Set
by R. W. Bonaker
Men's intramural basketball
play for the winter term begins
on January 22 with the team
roster deadline set for next
Tuesday , January 16. Rosters
should be returned to the
Recreation/Athletics building no
later than 5 p.m. of that date.
All is in readiness for the new
season as the floor of the Base
Gym has been repaired from the
damage caused by the June
Flood. The floor was repaired at
a cost of $6,000, but amounted
to a relative saving as the
addition of a completely new
floor would have cost
approximately $25,000,
according to Mr. Robert Stanley,
Recreation/Athletic Coordinator
Each intramural team will be
comprised of 10 men. Team
members must donate a total of
10 dollars to register in the
league, the money to be
returned upon completion of the
season. In addition, each team
must purchase a PIAA rulebook
at a cost of 70 cents.
Team captains will meet at 4
p.m. on Wednesday, January 17
in the Rec/Ath building to
prepare for the coming
basketball program.
The championship
tournament has been tentatively
scheduled for March 5-9 with
the winning team being invited
to participate in inter-collegiate
tournaments at Harrisburg Area
Community College and
Millersville State College.

Universal Gym
by Rich O'Brien
As has been previously
reported, the long awaited
Universal Gym has arrived at
Capitol Campus. Situated in the
weight-lifing room of the
Recreation/Athletics Building,
the Universal Gym is an
excellent machine for general
weight training.
Standing approximately eight
feet high and five feet wide, the
apparatus is a single unit which
has a variety of devices for
exercising as well as ordinary
weight lifting.
On the date of its arrival late
last term, a machine
demonstration as to the proper
use of the apparatus was staged
by a representative from the
Spartacus Company,
manufacturer of the Universal
Gym. Roughly 35 people
attended the showing and
watched with interest and
enthusiasm.
The Universal Gym is a
welcome addition to the athletic
facility. Bob Stanley,
Recreation Athletics coordinator
cordially invites all members of
the campus community to
utilize the Universal Gym.
CC INTRAMURAL
SPORTS
by R. W. Bonaker
Capitol Campus has an
outstanding intramural sports
program, according to Bob
Stanley, Recreation/Athletics
Coordinator.
And rightly so. A host of
activities are offered during each
term, of interest to everyone on
campus, whether male or female,
student or faculty.
Last fall, approximately 20
percent of the campus
population participated in
intramural recreation and
athletics. Flag Football was the
biggest activity as 'Them' won
the league championship in the
playoffs staged near the end of
the term. The addition of a
lighted field, goalposts, better
equipment, and outside officials,
enhanced the program.
Intramural bowling was
expanded up to the point where
two leagues were in operation.
All told, 72 people participated
in the Monday and Wednesday
night leagues.
During this term, many
activities will be offered
although definite schedules have
not been established. Intramural
basketball, pinochle, bowling,
darts, volleyball, weight training,
badminton, tabletennis,
roller-hockey and martial arts
(judo, karate, self-defense) are in
the offing.
The Athletic Department
distinguishes between club and
varisty sports. Varsity sports are
funded by the department and
play on an intercollegiate basis.
Club sports are not funded by
the department but are given
assistance with scheduling and
organization by Stanley's office.

General Assembly passed into
law an $82,694,000
appropriation bill for 1972-73.
The bill included the
$81,755,000 in the Governor's
budget message and further
added $939,000 for increased
enrollment under the
University's enrollment
stabilization plan.

Varsity Basketball
by R. W. Bonaker
On Tuesday, the Capitol
Campus Varsity Basketball
squad, coached by Mr. Al
Williams, began regular season
play by playing Penn State's
Delaware Campus at the Main
Street Gym, Middletown.
However, the game was played
after we went to press.
This year, the team, with the
help of returning stars and the
addition of fine junior prospects,
should improve upon last
season's 4-11 record. In
addition, the coaching finesse of
Williams, once a standout with
the Kentucky Colonels of the
American Basketball
Association, and a somewhat
softer schedule should lead to
Capitol's first winning season
since 1969. Capitol's toughest
opponents should prove to be
Messiah, Lebanon Valley and
Shippensburg.
12 games are on tap for the
season, with the possibility of a
couple additional games if they
can be worked into the schedule,
according to Bob Stanely,
Recreating/Athletics
Coordinator.
Last year, due largely to
inadequate coaching, Capitol
blew many games it could have
won. In this writer's opinion,
five games which should have
been won eluded the Lion's
grasp. Capitol had the personnel
to win those games, but it didn't
happen. Perhaps the addition of
a paid and more knowledgable
coach in Williams could make a
significant difference.
However, last year was not all
bad news. The team set a single
game scoring record with a
12475 conquest of Northeast
Christian Junior College. Paul
Hook, at 6 feet 2 inches, proved
to be a prolific scorer and
rebounder, setting school
seasonal marks in those
categories. He set a one game
mark with 28 rebounds and on
five occasions scored more than
24 points. He is back this year.
Also returning from last year
are stars Larry Chupka, Rick
Miller, Pat Bently and Steve
Hutter. But it has been reported
Hutter may miss the entire
season due to an ankle injury.
Chupka was the team's second
leading rebounder last year and
at 6-5 his height will play an
important role. Rick Miller is a
scrappy little guard who was the
team leader in fieldgoal
percentage last season. Bently

and a few others returning give
adequate bench support for the
squad. Players eligible to
compete this year but not
returning for various reasons are
Joe Duda and Ted Sites.
One area where desperate
improvement is needed is at the
free-throw line. A year ago,
Hutter led the regulars with 58
percent converted while Hook
followed with 56 and Chupka
had 54.
In fieldgoals, Miller paced the
team with 48% and Chupka had
47%, followed by Hook and
Bently with 45.
But with the beginning of the
new season, optimism flows.
With the current potential,
Capitol should have at least a 9-3
won-lost record. Fan support
could mean a great deal to the
team. Come out and see the
games. Home contests are played
at the Main Street Gym in
Middletown, located near the
town square on Route 230.
DTK
Meeting
Delta Tau Kappa, the
international social science
honor society, is planning many
events of interest to the entire
campus. To properly organize
such activities, meetings have
been announced by Gaye Miles,
President.
On Tuesday, January 16, the
initial meeting has been
scheduled for the T.V. Lounge,
beginning at 7 p.m. The
following Tuesday, at the same
time on January 23, new
members will be honored in the
Gallery Lounge.
Anyone holding a 3.0
cumulative grade average at
Capitol and has achieved at least
an eighth term standing in the
social science program is eligible
to join the society.
Also, students can join even if
they are not currently enrolled
in the social science program.
For example, humanities or
engineering or business students
qualify with a 3.0 Capitol
average and have had a minimal
20 credit hours of instruction in
the liberal arts throughout their
collegiate carreer.
