| Summary: | March 30,1979 The Concordian Page II Paul Erickson demonstrates kayaking skills. Kayaking, Cricket open to everyone By KAREN CLAUSON Two unusual sports have arrived at Concordia for stu-dents who want to participate in something new; kayaking and cricket programs are available to all students. The Kayak Club meets every Tuesday evening at 10 p.m. at the swimming pool. The program is sponsored by the Whitewater Canoe Club whose purpose is to provide leadership and training for interested stu-dents. They also want to insure that the kayaks are, used only by those who are instructed in the proper skills and safety tech-niques. Although uninformed use of kayaks could be very dangerous, kayaking is a safe sport when done properly. All students are invited to join the Kayak Club. Each pool session is attended by approxi-mately one-third old members and two-thirds new comers. Instruction is provided-at every session for beginners. There is no cost for the student. The purpose of the pool ses-sions is to help individuals adjust to handling a kayak. Basic skills are taught, including forward paddling strokes and turning strokes. Ambitious students may learn to Eskimo roll so they can normalize a capsized kayak with a paddle stroke. Two kayaking weekends are planned in April. Both of these ^ will be on the Muldoons Rapids of the Big Fork River, which is about 100 miles north of Bemid-ji. This is an excellent place for individuals to learn kayaking skills. The first weekend is April 21 and 22 and the second one is April 27 and 28. Students can register for these weekends through the Skills Warehouse Program. The total cost for each weekend will be about $12. The Kayak .Club has nine kayaks. Six of these were pro-vided by the Student Senate. The Whitewater Canoe Club bought three kayaks with funds from their t-shirt sales last year. The Cricket program is an opportunity to learn the basic techniques of an outdoor recrea-tional activity. Hemchand Gos-sai is the instructor every Thursday night in the Field-house at 10:30 p.m. for new cricket players. Cricket began in England but has gained worldwide popu-larity. It is an enjoyable and stimulating team game. The details of the game will be explained and a game of cricket will be played at each session. Golfers await "spring" By BOB FAUST "We can only wait for, the snow to leave," states golf coach Finn Grinnaker. The men's golf team is anxiously awaiting the end of white snow and the onset of green fairways. In the mean-time the men's golf team is practicing hitting off golf mats into netting in the gym. The team is made-up of ten freshmen and six returning sen-iors. The seniors are Mark Hopps, Eric Johnson, Bob Faust, Scott Anderson, and captain Tom Anderson. The first tournament is April 6th at Iowa State in Ames, Iowa. The three-day event is a 72 hole tournament. The only problem is that the golf team will not have had the chance to play any qualifying rounds outside. The five golfers that will be playing in Ames will be selected from last fall's team. .'.ISPORTING GOODS Intramural Activities FOURTH BLOCK EVENT Indoor Track & Field (Co-Rec Team Event) Superstars (Men's & Women's Division) Slow Pitch Softball (Men's & Women's Tournament) Slow Pitch Softball (Co-Rec Tournament) * All entries due by 4 p.m. ENTRIES DUE BY* Fri., Mar. 30 Wed., Apr. 11 Mon., Apr. 16 Mon., Apr. 16 PLAY BEGINS Sat., Mar. 31 (one day event) Wed., Apr. 11 (one day event Sat., Apr. 21 (one day event) Sun., Apr. 22 (one day event) Cobber Comments with Laune The end of the school year is coming quickly bringing with it the usual barrage of papers, tests, and other last minute assignments. If you need a study break that will help burn off the tension, get you in shape for the summer, and teach you new ideas, then there's something on campus for you—night time jogging. Late night jogging is a new activity under the direction of Coach Don Larson. Participants meet every Tuesday night at 10:30 in the gym. Larson en-thusiastically explains anyone is free to come jog, students and faculty alike. He adds, "A lot of students think it's only for long distance runners, but all levels of joggers are welcome to join the fun." The idea of late night jogging came about all because Larson had a night class over at Moor-head State. After the class, the, assistant track coach would comeback to the gym to get some studying in. Soon, Larson came up with the idea that 10:30 p.m. was a good time to get students together for a fun activity. Larson also notes "a number of students want to run in the gym but never get the chance because various sports practices are always scheduled. Late night jogging provides them with the opportunity." Each week a new topic is discussed at the night time activity. Larson explains that if students have any questions about running he's more than willing to answer them during the session. The first Tuesday night time jogging met twenty-one runners turned out. The topics of flexi-bility and weight control were areas discussed. Last Tuesday's get-together featured a film, NEW.from our KEEPSAKE DIAMOND RING GALLERY Keepsake* Registered Diamond Rings A breathtaking array of Keepsake's most enchanting diamond engagement ring styles . . . duets, trios and solitaires to delight you . . . and every engagement dia-mond is guaranteed perfect. Downtown 232-2008 Valley North 293-9J77 "Coping with Life on the Run" which dealt with the mental aspects of jogging. Larson also discussed nutrition. Future meetings will feature similar topics. Coach Larson states "night time jogging is a great way to channel extra energy into a useful activity." He also stres-ses it doesn't matter if you come run for twenty minutes or an hour, and a half. The program will continue every Tuesday evening at 10:30 until the end of school, so why not take a study break this Tuesday night and get out and run? l^gotUta- ?' covered. \- 6-Year Service Agreement r-;.
