The Collegiate IV** 12 Man-h 31, 1982 Bulldogs Favored To Win Title Atlantic Christian College be came the clear-cut favorite to win the Carolinas Conference tennis championship Saturday by taking an 8-1 win over Guilford College, the defending champion. The Bulldogs won five singles matches and then swept the doubles for their most impres sive win of the season.

By Everett Jpckson A Focus on: Academics and the Athlete “...And furthermore 1 would like to acknowledge...” These words are the words of an athlete in the midst of an interview. ‘‘Uhn, I don’t know...” These are also the immortal words of an athlete during aa interview. Is there any difference in the grammatical structure? Obviously. These are merely examples of the noted contrast between the super athlete and the athlete. Academics and the athlete must be on the same level. Just as one hand washes the other, academics washes a clean dimension into the lives of the athlete. “Say man, I’m gonna make a million bucks playing ball, I don't need the books.. .hey.. .I've got it all.' ’ Spoken words from the voice of experience, right? Wrong. Spoken words from the voice of insanity. Money, despite myths of ancient times, cannot purchase common sense. Athletes must sometimes make spur-of-the-moment decisions. These decision are the prime difference between triumph and failure, winning and losing. Academics and the athlete are encountering a better relationship. Once at a dismal standstill, today's athletes have opened doors to education. This open-door policy is the major ingredient in molding an athlete into a super athlete. What’s an autograph, if you never learned to write? What’s a Rolls Royce, if you could never accomplish the written test? A dream. It's a dream an innocent kid dribbling a ball in the park constantly has. In the wondering eyes of a child, athletes wear a flawless cape with a bold “S” embroidered on the front of their wrinkle-free attire. Yes, they're Superhuman. Athletes of today must inspire the children to take their ABC’s seriously...the future is their pearl. 74e Try Our Ladies Lockout Every Tuesday Night 9-10 p.m. FREE The Very Best In Beach and Dance Music Live Entertainment Special draft prices Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9 to 10 p.m.
