* SPORTSCOPE *
If the Sportscope in this and the following issues of the Nittany
Cub seems skimpy, it shouldn’t elicit too. much, wonder. When Sket
asked Coach Goodwin for some of the highlights of the athletic ac
tivities here on the Behrend Campus, his countenance grew sour.
Since this is an unusual occurrence with him, I explored the situation
a bit further.
It seems that his intramural athletics program has fallen down
around his ears. Knowing that Coach Goodwin puts a considerable
amount of time and effort into organizing this program each year,
the only logical explanation for its collapse must be the lack of stu
dent interest.
He told me that when he called his first basketball practice this
fall only thirteen boys came out. The squad has since dwindled to
nine men. In intramural football, it was the same story; two six-man
teams were formed. The first night that he held his dance instruc
tion class, two lonely females showed up at the gym. He attempted
to organize a ping-pong tournament but no one was willing to com
pete. He was forced to abandon his hopes for a fall baseball pro
gram.
This year we have one of our largest enrollments at Behrend,
and it is indeed a shame that a program designed to offer the stu
dents some extra-curricular activity should lay such a big egg. It
isn’t necessary to possess skill approaching those of a professional
to participate in any of the activities provided; it only requires some
ambition and a very little of the individual’s time.
Each of us probably wastes this same amount of time while we
try to think of something to do with our leisure hours, and we usually
aid up in a gabfest anyway. Well, here is the answer, people. Why
not take advantage of it?
