Annual golf classic
aids varsity swingers
It's nearly time to tee-up for
this year's UCF Golf Classic, the
fundraiser that will provide support
for the University's intercollegiate
golf program.
Sponsored by the UCF Foundation,
Inc., the October 5 tournament at
Rio Pinar is open to men and women
golfers with established handicaps.
The prospects for varsity golf
at UCF are improving, according to
Coach Gerry Gergley, who has assumed
those chores from a tour-bound Billy
Sellers. Partial scholarships will
be going to three returning team
members/with the possibility of
similar support for two or three
quality student golfers who have
been recruited.
Matches for the UCF team will
include this fall's Florida
Intercollegiate Golf Tournament.
Fifteen matches planned for spring
include the Sunshine State Conference
Championship. The UCF team will
practice and play at Rio Pinar.

Fifth Annual UCF Golf Classic
are Morris McClelland and Dr.
Louis C. Murray.

News from Rec
During the first full week of
classes, a physical fitness program
will begin for faculty, staff and
students, and will resume for
participants from the previous
quarter. The class will meet on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
between the hours of 12 and 1 p.m.
General body conditioning will
be taught at all fitness levels with
emphasis on minimizing heart risk
through cardiovascular fitness and
endurance and weight loss, if needed.
The activities involved, jogging,
calisthenics, weightlifting and
flexibility exercises, are geared
to your fitness and ability level.
Faculty and staff members are
charged $5.00 per quarter to help
defray the cost of the fitness staff.
Payment must be made at the cashier's
window in the Administration Building
and the receipt brought to the
Recreational Services' Office or to
the fitness instructor. Students are
encouraged to participate and will not
be charged because they pay the
university activity fee, which funds
the program.
It is recommended that you have
a physical exam from your own doctor
before starting this program.
Language lineup
adds muscle
at UCF
Classes in Latin, Spanish
and modern French literature will
be offered this fall at the University
for interested members of the
community.
The elementary Spanish course
will be offered Tuesday and Thursday
evenings, with the emphasis on providing a solid foundation in the
language and an overall view of
Spanish civilization and culture.
Latin will be offered four
mornings a week in response to a
large number of requests from
students. It is felt the course
will greatly benefit those already
studying modern languages, and aid
in perfecting languages they are
already familiar with, including
English.
The 20th Century French
Literature (in English) course is
designed to benefit students in the
humanities as well as anyone with
an interest in literature and the
arts. The course will provide an
understanding of some of the
artistic, literary and philosophical
movements that came out of Europe,
and from France in particular. Classes
will meet four times a week at noon.
For more information on these
language courses, contact the
Dept. of Foreign Languages (x2641).
Special forms are available for
those who wish to enroll but who
are not seeking degrees.
