三、英文补充

1.Athletics

The school s athletic teams are the Wildcats, and they compete in the NCAA Division I. UNH is a member of the America East Conference for basketball, cross country, track and field, skiing, soccer, swimming diving and tennis; and women s crew, field hockey, lacrosse, and volleyball. They also compete in Hockey East in men s and women s ice hockey, as well as the Colonial Athletic Association for football at the Division I-AA level.

In the 2006 academic year the University cut women s crew, men s swimming diving, and men s and women s tennis at the varsity level, and trimmed the size of the men s ski team from 27 to 12. The reason given was the Athletic Department would save $500,000 towards a $1,000,000 budget shortfall, and be in compliance with Title IX for the first time.In 1997, the University cut baseball, softball, men s and women s golf, and men s lacrosse.

In addition to varsity athletics, the University offers many club sports through the Department of Campus Recreation, including Aikido, Archery, Baseball, Crew, Cycling, Dance, Fencing, Figure Skating, Golf, Lacrosse, Nordic Skiing, Rugby, Sailing, Softball, Tennis, Taekwondo, Wrestling, and the Woodsmen Club. Many of these clubs compete either on an intercollegiate basis with New England teams, or sponsor University tournaments and frequently participate in National Championships. UNH also offers horseback riding as a recreation. Many students can take horseback riding lessons with instructors, on their horse or the schools. UNH holds many events each year, for they have a large cross country course. UNH also has a Dressage team that competes yearly.

The school s official colors are blue and white. The school s official mascot is the Wildcat and its uniformed mascot is known as Wild E. Cat.

The recognized fight song of UNH is On to Victory, the most current version of which was arranged by Tom Keck, Director of Athletic Bands from 1998-2003. In 2003, UNH Cheer (originally titled Cheer Boys ) was resurrected from the University archives by Erika Svanoe, former Director of Athletic Bands. Based on the school song Old New Hampshire , not to be confused with the New Hampshire state song of the same name, UNH Cheer currently serves as a secondary fight song and is often performed immediately following On to Victory.

On October 7, 2006, Wildcats wide receiver David Ball tallied the fifty-first receiving touchdown of his career to displace Jerry Rice of Mississippi Valley State University, who was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame a month earlier, atop the ranking of NCAA Division I and I-AA players by career receiving touchdowns. He later signed as a rookie free agent with the Chicago Bears, he played with well known college football players Chris Leak and Darius Walker.

The campus core contains many of the academic and residential buildings, while the outer campus contains much of the agriculture land and buildings.

Housing

Smith Hall in c. 1915The University currently by agreement offers all underclassmen the opportunity to live in University Housing. As of 2004, the University housed 50 percent of undergraduate students. The University s Campus Master Plan envisions housing about 60 percent of undergraduates, requiring an addition of 1700 beds.

Undergraduate housing is divided into three areas: Area I, Area II and Area III. In addition there are two undergraduate apartments, The Gables and Woodside Apartments. The University also offers family housing in the Forest Park apartments and graduate housing in Babcock Hall.

For the Fall 2006 semester, two new buildings at The Gables, North and South were opened, providing an additional 400 beds. In Summer 2006, one-half of Forest Park was demolished to make way for two new buildings (A B) of the Southeast Residential Community (SERC). Buildings A and B provide housing for 492 students beginning Fall 2007. Two existing Mini Dorms were demolished during Summer 2007, to build a third building of SERC, which is scheduled to provide housing for 235 students beginning in Fall 2008. Plans exist to provide 781 new beds by demolishing the remaining 9 buildings (98 units) in Forest Park. Later plans call for the construction of a new 170-unit graduate housing facility at a location to be determined.

Due to the over-enrollment of the 2006-2007 academic year, the university offered students who intended to live in campus housing a free parking pass for the academic year, credit in UNH Dining Dollars and a rund of the housing deposit given that the student withdrew their intentions to live on campus. The incentive was designed to free up space for the large incoming freshman class.
