Student Activities Planned

By Rachel Nowery and John Hickey
Tom Yencha, Director of Student Activities, encourages students to get involved in the many organized and unorganized activities on campus and to use West Virginia University at Parkersburg’s excellent free facilities. “You can’t beat the price,” he says.

The weight room and basketball court are open for all students Mondays through Thursdays 7:30 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Fridays 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Intramural basketball begins Jan. 31. Five-on-five games will be scheduled every Tuesday and Thursday, beginning at 1 p.m.

Arena-flag football starts Feb. 6, with five-on-five games starting at 1 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays.

On Feb. 2 at 1 p.m., the Madden 2006 Tourney takes place. First prize is a PS2 Playstation, and second prize is the Madden 2006 game. There is a $2 entry fee, and you must be a WVUP student to win prizes.

A bowling club is forming to compete against Ohio Valley University, Marietta College, and Washington State Community College. An intercollegiate league is also forming which will bowl at Emerson Lanes on Thursdays at 9 p.m. Four-person teams will bowl starting Jan. 25.

There will be a Date Auction on Feb. 8 and a Comedy Club on Feb. 11. The Comedy club will have a diverse range of students and should be entertaining for all who come.

All students who are interested are welcome to get involved and also to come and support these events.
