UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA


Athletics and Recreation offers two types of programs: (1) group competition and (2)
individual competition.
 The program comprises some fourteen to twenty sports categories ranging from
such individual and dual activities as handball, tennis and golf to the more highly
organized sports such as track, basketball and touch football. There are three units of
competition included in the program: (1) Fraternity (orange and blue), (2) Dormi-
tory, and (3) Independent. The program provides diversified recreational activities and
facilities for the use of the faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students who wish to
participate. Facilities and instruction are available at specified hours. Where interest
warrants, new activities and clubs are introduced and new units of competition formed.
 The Department maintains a well stocked storeroom of athletic equipment for the
use of all University of Florida students. Any regularly enrolled student may check out
equipment between the hours of 8:30 A.M. and 6:00 P.M.
 It is to be emphasized that the Intramural and Recreation Program is a University
of Florida tradition. It is administered largely by voluntary student help and is essen-
tially a highly democratic form of student expression.
