7They are not on a Harding sponsoredathletic team but they are athletes justthe same. As participants in nonorganizedathletics, they supply theanswer to the question, "What dopeople around here do when they wantto have a little fun in ttJeir spare time?"In the spring and fall , students headto the stands of timber and abandonedfields to hunt wild game and to thelakes and streams around Searcy toswim and water ski. Greers Ferry Lake,just a short drive away, an.d the BluffHole, just outside the community ofLetona, are favorite "watering holes."But students do not necessarily haveto venture away from campus to fi ndtheir own individual sporting activities.Skateboarding enthusiasts,riding the new wave of popularity forthis revived means of transportation,can be seen zigging and zagging alongthe long, straight sidewalks of thecampus. One brave soul even venturedto test his expertise on the old. tenniscourts. Outfitted with knee pads andtwo boards, Buz Peltier proceeded toleave one board behind and land onthe other after cleari ng the net.A soaring frisbee and a spiralingfootball often cross lines.of flight on abalmy fall afternoon, with participantsgivi ng ground and allowi ng for eachother's movements on that informalplaying field called the front lawn.Friendly competition in ping pong orfoosball can be found almost any timeof day or night in the Student Center inaddition to knocking down a few pinsat the Bison Lanes.Bicycles can be seen all overcampus, not always just to get aroundon, but also for exercise purposes.Physical fitness buffs often frequentthe weight room in the New Gym aswell as daily jogging around CollegePark.Whatever the activity, the underlyingcommon denominator is thequest for a few minutes or hours offun, physical improvement andrelaxation.Non-organized Sports • 215
