Aruba. The name conjures up visions of sand, surf, bikinis, and a host of wonderful 'sun and fun' activities. Picture yourself on the white expansive beaches with that rich Caribbean sun beating down, tempered by warm zephyrs known as the trade winds. It's absolute heaven. Alas, our interest in the lovely island isn't 'pleasure.' You see, Aruba is the scene of a unique 'sports exchange' between Springfield and the Aruba Sports Elizabeth C. Zeiter '79 from Springvale, N. Y. Union; an exchange which has seen five of Springfield's most successful coaches and physical educators take time from their many and varied Springfield assignments to assist Roy Van Putten '60 in the task of training Aruban coaches and athletes.

1 has prompted the ASU to take a ". . . long hard look ..." at its sports pro­ grams, channeling some of its attention from traditional 'adult-oriented' prog­ ramming to 'yputh-oriented' activities. As the ASU went about upgrading athletic and recreational offerings and improving physical facilities (there were no youth playgrounds and only one little league field) on the island, the School di Deporte tackled its task of training lead­ ers to supervise these new youth activi­ ties. Van Putten and the ASU executive board felt their young people would best be guided by a corps of volunteers who, after an ". . . extensive training . . ." process, would be ready to work with the island's young people. The problem: Training. Van Putten knew that realis­ tically, these volunteers - dedicated though they were - could not leave homes and jobs for extended periods of time to participate in 'study-abroad' pro­ fessional programs. He also knew the training - sound training - was essen­ tial to the success of the ASU youth They listened carefully and asked sound questions . .. effort.

During their month-long stay, each of the SC coaches has been provided with a car, living expenses and an apartment. The majority of the coaching and train­ ing sessions take place at night and on weekends when the 'volunteers' are free to meet with them (it's also cooler). This arrangement allows time for 'island tours' to a variety of points of interest including the Natural Bridge, the Pi­ rate's Castle, the giant Lago oil refinery or the island's fabulous abandoned gold mine; and some well-deserved R&R with golfing, snorkling, sailing, water skiing, or just plain 'beaching it' high on the priority list.

Says Jack Neumann: "They're in their own element, surrounded by people they know and circumstances with which they're familiar. They're very vocal in class, ask good questions, and eagerly absorb the answers." Coach Bilik agrees that bringing the teachers to the Aruban students makes the program ". . . more beneficial for them ..." He notes that it's easy for a coach in the States to roll out several dozen new basketballs in an air conditioned gym­ nasiu~ and have some All-Americans show the trainees how it's done. "That's great, but it's not going to help a coach in Aruba." Van Putten feels the climate of his island leads the Springfield coaches to devise and employ new techniques they might not have considered back in Mas­ sachusetts. "Many American coaches have nice cushy infields and outfields to slow down a hard grounder for their players to field," notes Coach Roys. Aruba, how­ ever, gets only about 17 inches of rain each year, and its ball fields have never seen grass. They're dirt. All dirt! "The ball comes at the fielders like a rocket," he says. They either have quick reflexes or short careers." Diane Potter adds that the ever­ presen t trade winds on the islands also make life interesting for softball and baseball coaches. "In the States we train coaches to have their batting order take ad van tage of the day's wind direction," she says, "but with a 20-mile-per-hour wind coming from the same direction each and every day, Aruban coaches can set the batting order for the season simply by checking to see what field they're playing on and what geographical direction it is from home plate to the center field wall." At present there aren't many center field walls to check on the island, but since the advent of the new emphasis on youth sports by the ASU, more facilities

Continued on Page 5 Continued from Page 4 are becoming available and specialized ~j~;i~~'iJ~~~~~~~~C~ ones are now beginning to emerge. L.; The ASU has more, much more! Already Aruba boasts one of the finest gymnasium facilities in the Antilles, complete with a rubberized floor sur­ face, basketball and volleyball equip­ ment, excellent lighting, good ventila­ tion, spacious press facilities, a modern locker room and retractable spectator stands. It was here that Coach Bilik worked with the coaches of local youth teams as well as the members of the men's and women's Aruba Selection Teams, two all star groups which compete in inter­ island tournaments as representatives of the nation. Bilik's work with the teams during his May teaching session prompted ASU officials to ask him back in July to help coach and train them for the South American-Caribbean Games in Medel­ lin, Columbia. He readily accepted. Jack Neumann also impressed the is­ land as he mixed conditioning tech­ niques with his athletic administration lectures, and soon found himself detail­ ing the fine art of jogging to politicians, civic groups and radio listeners. Van Putten feels the receptiveness of the island's "non-sports people" to Neumann's jogging and conditioning lectures is indicative of Aruba's in­ creased interest in physical fitness and sports on all levels. And while that may well be true, Coach Potter attributes much of the new enthusiasm for sports in Aruba to Roy Van Putten and Bilik constructed a Ibusy'schedule. Van Putten himself.

A 6' 1", 190 pound junior from Pittsfield, Quinn has established himself as one of the best at his position in New England. Coach Vandersea has the pleasant task of choosing from three highly regarded defensive tackles in Dave Magazu (Taunton), Brad Maserjian (Poughkeepsie, N. Y.) and Mark Heidebrecht (St. Catharines, Ont.). Heidebrecht returns after a knee injury that ended' his season with four games remaining in the '77 campaign. Tim Murphy (Kingston) also missed a portion of the 1977 schedule with a knee problem. He returns at defensive end with another starter, Gregg Smith (Stratford, Ct.). Hank Hughes (Guilderland, N.Y.) and Mark Harriman The (Westbrook, Me.) are veterans at linebacker. Jim Coale (Bel Air, Md.) is a returning starter at safety, and is a first rate SportsDesk punter. Other defensive backs to look at are Frank Monello with Howard M. Davis (Parsippany, N.J.), Jim Harpe (Albany, Ga.) and Greg Director ofSports Information Catalano (E. Greenwich, R.I.). ******

We began by organizing a program for first through 12th graders which in­ cluded two hours of classroom English instruction and four hours of recreational activity each day: swimming, gym sports, archery, tennis, indoor games, dramatics, music, arts and crafts, gym­ nastics, field sports, wrestling, dancing and cheerleading . We planned to offer hot meals to all campers. Transportation services, so often a headache, were not required in a city where young children are used to traveling safely on public subways, trains and buses. The recruiting of the students ab· sorbed much of the winter and spring of 1975. Two capable Japanese women at the school, now our day camp public relations director and registrar, helped us design a brochure in Japanese. Much of our advertising was done by direct mail to the homes of families with chil­ dren located within commuting distance of the school. Then, a local business firm suggested

photoI by y, Saji Continued on Page 15 Continued from Page 14 that we open our program to children from a~l parts of Japan. We agreed to allow their organization to board camp­ ers in public dormitories and to arrange the busing of the children to camp each day . The company provided its own after-hours staff as we took no responsi­ bility for transportation or evening supervision. A total of643 campers were recruited the first year, one third of whom came from the outlying districts. The summer of 1977, our third, 755 children attended. Finding staff has proved somewhat difficult, although not impossible. Our original goal was to hire native English speakers for all of the activities to sUJr port the English language instructional program. We believe that exposure to English in sports, crafts, and other non­ academic areas enhances the language learning process, forcing the children to communicate in real-life situations. For two reasons, however, we have found it necessary to employ a number of '1~111~~II~gR bilingual staff.
