Whether or not universities should give the same amount of money to their student's sports activities as they do to libraries is a contravisal issue undergoing a serious debate. Some people argue that universities should spend moeny only to enhance student's study environmnent as a rason of going colleges is to gain academic konwledge. Regarding this matter, I ,however, take a different attitude. I think that sports activities is as important as acacmic studies. The reasons why I think so goes as follows.
First of all, sports activities are good for student's health. As far as everyone konws, health is one of the important parts of human life. A recent survey conducted by The National Research Center reveals that people exersising physical acitivities at least over one everyweek live longer three times than those who do not exersise. Of cousrse, acadimic konwledge plays a key role in people's lives. But If It were been for health, knowlede is a useless thing. Therefore, for studuent's health, colleges should spend a lot of money to incease student's health.
Furthermore, sports acitivites give students many experiences which they not learn through studying. One of many experiences is that these activities make it possible for studnets to learn about rules. As long as people participate in sports, they should know a varietiy of rules that they should observe. In the world, there are amount of rules and laws which make people live with harmonies. The more exersices they are the more harmonies with others they are becuause they know how they keep these rules.
Also, sports enable students to expand their social network and to make many friends. Sports activities are not alone, but with many people. So, It is one of the most powerful means of making friends and broadning personal network. Through sprots activities, people can learn a method of living togeter and accosiating people who have different races, interests, abilities, religions. It is also makes people
broaden their window. These experiences make people have much competence in the competivitie society.
To summerize, I accept that it is important to learn academic imformation but I believe that colleges should not reglect a importance of sports activities. As a result, For what has been considered, I can safely draw a conclusion that universities should concern stduent's physical activities and spend a lot of moeny and efforts to sports activities since sports activities have many advantages.
