Ursula's Not So Secret History The inner thoughts of a 30-something single gal who recently moved from Chicago to London. Main August 31, 2004 NO Wheaties Box for Paul Hamm Hamm Missing as Wheaties Honors Olympic Winners Mon Aug 30, 2004 11:20 AM ET CHICAGO (Reuters) - American gymnast Paul Hamm, who was asked to return his Olympic gold medal in the men's all-around because of a scoring error, may have received another snub. General Mills Inc, the maker of Wheaties cereal, announced on Monday three U.S. Olympic champions will appear on millions of its iconic orange cereal boxes but Hamm was not among them. Traditionally a launching pad for lucrative commercial endorsement deals, Wheaties boxes will feature record-breaking swimmer Michael Phelps, female gymnastics all-around champion Carly Patterson, and the holder of the "world's fastest human" title, 100-meter gold medalist Justin Gatlin. Am I surprised that Paul Hamm got snubbed? Not really. Personally, I thought he should have given the gold medal back. Granted he did nothing wrong, but clearly the judges made a mistake which unfairly granted him the gold medal. And as such, in the spirit of the Olympic games and in fairness to the other athletes, I think he should have given it back. I’m sure my opinion is in the minority but I really do think it would have been the right thing to do. Posted by Ursula at 11:49 PM Meows (1) TrackBack August 30, 2004

Our daily news partner Joe Sobek by Infoplease.com Joe Sobek by Steve Wendell Almost a half-century ago, Joe Sobek, frustrated that he could not find an indoor racquet sport he liked, designed a new racquet, found a ball of the right size and spring, and invented racquetball. The sport now has 8 million players in the United States, 9 million worldwide, played in 91 nations, with a World professional tour . It is part of the quadrennial Pan American Games , and the international federation is trying to have it added to the 2004 Olympics in Athens. It was an office job at a rubber manufacturing plant that led to the start of racquetball in 1950. Sobek was such a good squash racquets player that he had trouble finding opponents. He rejected

It play an important role in the "campus life experience" of our students. As the facilities are all multipurpose areas, it is adaptable for a multitude of activities. It is a focal point on campus for social and recreational activities. We are proud of our Sports and Recreation Center complex and its importance to the overall goals, mission, and vision of our university. Considered by many in the field to be one of the finest state-of-the-art multipurpose facilities in the Northwest, the concept for the Sports and Recreation Center (SRC) began as the vision of Dr. Jack Leighton. Dr. Leighton, as Eastern's Chair of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Athletics from 1953 to 1981, was the leader of a task force that developed the plan for the facilities. Department professors Bob Anderson, Peggy Gazette and Pete Hagelin, along with Wayne Loomis of Facilities Planning, rounded out the committee, which as a team, gathered information and shaped the ideas into the recreation and sports complex we have today.

In fact, ask many Americans what they think handball is, and they'll probably describe a game similar to racquetball with two competitors slapping a small ball off a wall with their hands. Not so. Did You Know? The NBA Houston Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon began his athletic career and unknowingly honed his basketball skills by playing handball in Nigeria as a child. The easiest way to describe handball is, "soccer with the hands instead of the feet." Much like soccer, it can be both physical and fast, with shots being thrown at speeds approaching 65 miles per hour. The sport used to be played on a large turf field with 11 players per side, but has more recently been moved indoors and played with with seven players, which has sped up the game even more.

Emerson The College admitted its first class of 12 students in 1928 , after the trustees of the Drew Theological Seminary voted to accept a gift of $1.5 million from Arthur and Leonard Baldwin to build and endow a College, and to change the name of the institution to Drew University. In 1955, a Graduate School became the third of the university's degree granting entities. From its beginnings, the College has honored its founders' wish that it be ecumenical in its choice of faculty and students. The Baldwins also asked that the new institution be named Brothers College in recognition of their extra ordinary relationship. The name was later changed to the College of Liberal Arts of Drew University, but its major academic building still bears the College's original name. From the start, it was intended that the College be a small and close academic community. It enrolled 400 students in 1948, six years after the original college for men became coeducational, and grew to only 600 students by 1960. The next decade began a period of growth and change-in the curriculum, the numbers of students and faculty, and in the academic plant.

Pomona-Pitzer Athletics History Hall of Fame: Members Criteria for Membership Major Sports Awards: Annual Award Winners History The history of athletics at Pomona College and more recently of Pomona and Pitzer Colleges is as rich, complex, and storied as the Colleges themselves. Intercollegiate play began in 1895, when Pomona College's football, baseball, and track teams competed against teams from the west coast. From 1895 until 1946, Pomona College competed as a single college under the names "Blue and White," Pomona, the Huns, and the Sagehens. In 1946, Pomona College joined with the neighboring Claremont Men's College to form the Pomona-Claremont Sagehens. This union was an extremely successful one that yielded three consecutive conference titles from 1954-1956, including a still unmatched undefeated season in 1954. In 1956, the two colleges separated and competed independently. In 1970, seven years after its founding, Pitzer College joined Pomona in athletics under an interim basis that in 1972 became permanent. The Pomona-Pitzer athletics continue to this day. The history of the Pomona College mascot and nickname is a more complex matter. As mentioned earlier, the college competed under a variety of names through 1913, when the nickname "Sage Hen" first appeared in a November 29, issue of

75. History olympic Indoor Swim Center opened the same year and the District s popular Elmer Crane, Arlington Heights Park District history as compiled from the http://www.ahpd.org/AboutUs/History.htm

History In 1887, the Village of Arlington Heights was incorporated and civic improvements were begun. In 1892, because the townspeople protested the unsightly conditions of the land alongside the railroad tracks, the Railroad developed several parks on the north and south sides of the railroad right of way. These “railroad parks” were the beginning of the park system in Arlington Heights. In 1925 the citizens determined, by petition, that there was a need for an organized park district and that future development of the community demanded such an organization. On June 9, 1925, the Arlington Heights Park District was formed and the first Park District meeting was held June 18, 1925, with Commissioners Nathaniel Banta, Henry Klehm, Eugene Berbecker, Albert Volz, and Julius D. Flentie. In 1941, the first meeting of the Recreation Commission was held. The Commission developed from an idea of a local resident and the Park Board appointed representatives from local civic associations. The recreation programs of the District continued to develop and, in 1946, the Community Council donated 30% of the profits of the July 4th festival to the Park District for recreational programs and a portion of the fieldhouse at Recreation Park was designated as a youth center. 1946 also saw Park District residents approve a referendum to establish the corporate tax rate at .125% and the recreation tax rate at .0625%. By 1950, a summer playground director was working for the Park District. The recreation program consisted only of summer activities including swim lessons, little league, softball, tennis lessons, handicrafts, the Lions Olympics, trips to Cubs and White Sox games, volleyball leagues, a Girls Athletic Club, and the annual water show. Programs were held primarily at Recreation Park but a few were held at South Park (Cronin Park). Recreation activities expanded into the fall for the first time in 1953 when the midget football program began.

History of Red's At the age of 15 Red was a skinny red haired kid who was inspired by his Uncle Harold's muscles. Red's dream was to be Mr. America and own a gym. Red's dream was spurred on during a conversation with Joe Gold in 1953. Joe Gold (founder of Gold's Gyms and World Gym International) opened his first gym called "Ajax Gym" in New Orleans in 1953. Joe really seemed to like Red, even though he was a kid at the age of 17. One Saturday over lunch, Joe looked at a magazine with Bill Pearl on the cover and told Red that "You could win Mr. America one day". From that day, Joe became Red's mentor. After Mr. New Orleans, Mr. Audubon Park, Mr. Navy, and several other titles, Red's dream was realized in 1960. Red Lerille won the Mr. America title in 1960 With $250 dollars and a room full of hand-made equipment he built in his garage, chapter 2 of his dream came to light. On January 13, 1963 Red opened a 4,000sq. ft. club in the building to the left. In 1965 Red Lerille's Health Club moved to it's present location on Doucet Rd.
