May 1,1980-the Pdfr rnltogtaa-Page 7 IM nets new equipment by Glenn Haller The CSUF Intramurals depart¬ ment wiU receive $700 worth of sporting equipment after they send a 12 member contingent to Stanford this Sal—-day to partidpate in the Coore Intramural Sports Festival. Actxirding to a Coora brochure the festival, which was inaugrated last year, ia, "an example of Amer¬ ican business supporting (the) college community." It brings together intramural teams, and allows them to play for fun (no awards are given, no results kept), then the part- iXraaHtiff school's intramural programs ara awarded with much- iroede aUiletic equipment. Last year, the CSUF entourage came back from Lang Beach with $300 worth of equipment, which according to Val Valverde, as¬ sistant director of Intramurals- Recreation, included water polo balls that allowed the department to make innertube water polo a DM sport. The Coora Festival, which will attract 272 schools, is just one of many such festivals put on by nearly all national beer companies. "A lot of people don't like the idea of beer companies helping to support LM's," said Pete Conrad, director of Tiitramur—-Recreation at CSUF, 'but they are the ones who are willing to put up the money and help out amalter budgeted programs.* There will be 31 schools repres¬ ented at Stanford, partiripating in coed volleyball, soccer and softball. CSUF will send only a softball tean because according to Vah/erdo there ia no real in¬ terest in volleyball and soccer. Coora does provide gas money for the team to get to and from Stanford, a hinch. and with the help of Sportcraft, that S700 of equipment for the school. Tube waterpolo surfaces following five-year hiatus by Kerry W.tkins For the first time in five years inner- tube water polo has again become a part of the intramural program at CSUF. "It died out, and we tried to revive it this year, and judging from the response we'll do it again next year," said intra¬ mural recreation assistant Val Valverde. "We had fourteen teams participate and we had to turn four teams away because they didn't make the dead¬ line,* said Valverde. "Because of the limited time and hours which the pool was available, we could only guarantee that each team would play five games. We went by a win/loss record and in case of a tie we would have gone by a point spread. * The rules and regulations were de¬ vised by Head Water Polo Coach Don Laster and Val Valverde, based on other universities and their ratebooks. The officiating was done by Laster and some of the intercollegiate water polo players. In order to enable the teams to get s better understanding of the basic con¬ cepts of water polo, the I.M. department allowed each team to have two varsity players from the sport. The teams con¬ sisted of seven players in the water at all times, and substitutions could only be made during quarter breaks. The women's goals were given two points and the men were given one point per goal. 'Women are just starting to learn the sport and a lot of these guys had played before." As women's skills increase in water polo then the point difference for goals will become the same." said Valverde. Vidci Gormon, who played on one of the teams this season, said the rales made things quite fair. "People who nor¬ mally wouldn't have been able to compete in the water, because of the inner-tubes were on a much more equal level. "The point difference between the men and women worked out fairly and because of the way the game is set up it tended to be more fun than compe¬ titive," she said. "I think we will probably go back to the same rules as for other IM sports, however, and not allow any intercol¬ legiate water polo players or swimmers to participate," said Valverde. "When your playing both, the games start to get a little more intense than necessary." We hope to have enough entries next season to be able to set up two or three leagues. This was basically a trial thing to get people informed and a little more experienced with the sport. yr» rnrtrtn rwi»txrinrsnrcrrx CSUF Child Care Center Open enrollment dates for the ° Fall semester 1980 are between • April 28-May 9.

Work Guaranteed Song n swim dance in CSUF western show by Tony Stevens CSUF's 15th annual swim show, "The Wet and Wild West,' may not be as spectacular aa an old Esther Williams movie, yet past synchronized swimming shows have proven to be big drawing cards st CSUF. Under the 14th consecutive year of direction of Billie Poston, the show runs tonight and tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. in the CSUF pool. This year's Western theme is a first for the show, according to director of publicity Peggy McGrath, and will feature musical interpretations of well known and not-so-weli known Western songs, aa well as a comical diving routine. The show is produced by the water production daaa at CSUF and performed by the synchronized swimming, class both taught by Poston. The idea of a water show put on by students was conceived about 15 years ago when Poston instituted both the pro¬ duction and swimming classes. Wanting an annual show, CSUF officials decided to allow a demonstration that first year. It proved to be such a success and Poston took over the reigns of director the fol¬ lowing year. Sychronized swimming is much more ■difficult than it looks, says McGrath. To do it well, a Bwimmer must make it look easy. And to make it look easy, a swimmer must be in good shape. "You have to be in tremendous shape. To make it look easy and smooth, it takes endurance. In most of the stunts (routines) the swimmer's head is under water with only the legs on top. That requires sn incredible amount of breath control," she said. "It's real body control. Every move¬ ment is a controlled movement. You must have a total awareness of your body." McGrath, who was a senior co-captain of the women's swim team this year, says the difference between competitive swimming and synchronized swimming is a matter of grace. "In competitive, you swim for speed and endurance, hard and fast. In synchronized, it's real grace¬ ful, smooth and slow." For McGrath, combining the two styles has been easy. Now in her third year with the show, it has been no pro¬ blem for her as a competitive swimmer to switch over. But the divers in a synchronized show aren' t the kind Olympic judges look for. They are clown divers and execute extremely dangerous stunts from 10 feet above the pool. In fact, competitive FACULTY! FRIDAY is the last day to reservi Cap & Gown rental. KENNEL BOOKSTORE (In TheHearf Of The Campus) divers wouldn't even attempt a down dive, says Matt Hon—, one of this year's comical divers. It would be like a bike rider attempting to ride a motorcycle," Houts said. The risk of injury ia much higher in down diving, says Houts. Houts himself needed eight stitches as the result of a collision between his head and the end of the board he thought he had clear¬ ed. /And even bigger worry is 'hitting the side of the pool,' he say.. "You've got to know where the water is at all That's not an easy teat <——ridertgf Houts and his fallow divers are piiDOM_ng and «*—»«KM"g around on a board only a ftolt-enei-a-haH wide. In past shows, the audience haa even seen divers tumble out of the raftere ' 20-26 feet above the poor. In order to perform such a stunt, a diver must gain his perch before the anthence arrives, so his appearance will surprise the aud¬ ience. Houts said he isn't sure whether there will be any rafter dives this year. What thia year's show wfll have is 27 swimmers and six divers, h~l~»«riir a few from the men's and women's swim teams. Most of the swimmers are from the one unit atranming date but volunteers are welcome. This year, two such volunteer are nationally ranked in competitive syn¬ chronized swimming: Karen Sorrenson, a former student who is doing her third show for CSUF and Kathy Horwith, a current student. Other volunteers or "guests' include three high school divers. There will be a number of routines in The Wet and Wild West.* Synchronized swimming standards such ss a *■—"*"»g circle of girls and duets are featured, as well aa an advanced routine of can-can girls and a comical saloon girls skit. The songs accompanying the routines range from such well known tunes as "How the West was Won" and 'Maria,* to more obscure themes from Western pictures. The Western theme arose from a brainstorming session by members of the production dass early in the semes¬ ter. One of the original ideas was to have a current theme, such as they did back in 1976 with a salute to the Bicentennial. . But the theme idea hit a snag and the class dedded to end it.
