Lighten up, Francis!
The imfamous Sargeant Hulka gave
that perfect advice in the comedy classic
"Stripes."So wheres tbe Sargc when you
need him?
Have you ever met somebody and
wondered why they uke the world so
seriously? If you havent, then obviously
you havent been an intramural basketball
"Lighten up. Francis!"
In my former days before learning the
cold, cruel facts of intramural officiating,
crybaby. Yes, a crybaby. As Webster's
defines it: Crybaby — One who complains
constantly, in a childish way.
Did Webster have intramural athletes
in mind when he concocted such a
definition? Probably not. But he could
Back to past days. As an intramural
football player, I jumped at the oppor¬
tunity to give an IM official a go. So much
so that I was tossed twice during the '83
season. What a maroon.
Ah, but thanks to he IM office, IVe seen
the light. Putting on the black-and-white
officiating pinstripes for the first time ever
for the "85 intramural hoop season, I've
grown to appreciate my fellow CSUF
students who have weathered countless
blows — both verbal and physical — over
to subject themselves to is inhuman. Hey,
call out Jesse Jackson, the Humane Society
and Jerry Falwell. Jerry Falwell? Anyway,
these IM guys need protection.
The lashings officials Uke can be cute.
It can also be down right brutal.
Even an IM official has difficulties
keeping a stiff upper lip during certain
blowouU. During one particular mismatch
1 was officiating last week — names will be
withheld to save embarrassment — 1 had
numerous opportunities to snicker. Not at
the beating the losing lads were uking,
but at the insulu they hurled at my partner
The nerve of these guys. Here they were
getting thrashed by 30-40 points — I lost
count — and all they could do was
complain about the offidating. Ill be the
first to admit that I missed a call or
but definitely not enough to com_
mismatch of the magnitude thst IhaJiJ
witnessed. To make matters worst, aJ
leader of the crybabies took our m_I
down and preceded to write a lettertoS
IM office complaining that we were ba_l
against them. Some advice guys: l»J
how to pUy basketball first, then co ^^
about the officiating.
IM officials have been cussed st.
have been threatened. They've b<_
physically abused. This Bud is foryojiJ
officials. YottVe earned it.

My initial season of officiating has
shown me the darker side of human
nature. Intramurals are supposed to be all
fun-and-games, right? Hardly.
IM basketball is a peculiar mixture of
has-beens, never-wcre-beens and some
truly talented players. Games are split into
20 minute halves just like the real game at
the intercollegiate level. Unlike the inter¬
collegiate variety, the clock is kept running
except for brief stints at the end of each
half.
The leaders of the IM department hold
tryouts at the beginning of the season to
come up with the best possible officials the
ca_pus has to offer. While they might not
be ready for the NBA yet, most of these
officials know their stuff.
In many games, the IM ref has to try to
keep control in what is little more than

dance to
aid orphan
Residents of Sycamore Hall have ear¬
marked proceeds from a dance they will
sponsor Saturday for the orphaned daugh¬
ter of a favorite former custodian, Tom
Bomli.
Lisa Terrell, the student who initiated
the idea of a dance to raise money for
seven-year-old Susan Bondi's trust fund,
wanted to do something with the money
her dorm floor had previously raised.
Traditionally, money raised by dorm resi¬
dents can be used for any activity they
choose. Once she began organ—ing plans
for the dance, rapport grew quickly. Terrel
remembers Bondi as being a "really
f nendly person'who was well liked. Other
studenu remember—g Bondi echoed her
