But the Sugar Bears
Cagle, Lunsford,
Magoon vying
for presidency
By Anne Snuffer
With one minute left,
the last candidate for
an SGA office filed a
nomination on March 16
for the office of SGA
president.
According to elec
tions commissioner Mike
Hagarty, Stephen Magoon
officially filed at
3:59 p.ra. to "create an
element of surprise."
Lewis "Chipper"
Lunsford, also filed
for president on Friday
to oppose incumbent Ken
Cagle.
"Chipper filed in di
rect response to what
was written in the
(school) paper about
nobody running against
Ken. He's really excit
ed about running," Hag
arty added.
He said only one stu
dent fUed for the
office of treasurer,
but was found ineli
gible because the stu
dent lacked the re
quired six hours of
accounting.
Hagarty said the
treasurer's position
would be appointed by
the new president after
the elections.
He went on to say
that Doug Miller is
running unopposed for
the office of vice
president.
Other candidates
filing on Friday were:
Douglas Griffin, and
Steven Kurzer for

Patricia Cabe, Adele
Hyde, Cindy Rogers and

rallied in the opening
moments of the second
half to take a 43-34
lead with 12 minutes
left in the game.
The Lady Bulldogs
rallied in the next
four minutes behind
Wyatt and Kim Duncan to
pull within three
points, 47-44.
The Sugar Bears moved
out to another eight
point advantage, 52-44,
in the next couple of
minutes.
But UNGA had one more
trick up its sleeve.
"When we got behind
by eight, we changed
our (zone) defense and
went to man-to-man,"
said UNCA coach Helen
Carroll. "It was time
to gamble."
It was a gamble that
paid off.
Sheila Ford scored
six points in the final
five minutes and the
Lady Bulldogs' defen
sive change confused
the Sugar Bears into
several mistakes
as UNCA outscored Cen
tral Arkansas 18-8 to
claim the victory.
The Lady Bulldogs
entered the quarter
finals against top-
ranked and undefeated
Southwest Oklahoma
State.
It was a hard-fought
game, but in the end
the Lady Bulldogs had
held on for a 57-54 win

VP Bush makes Asheville stop
By Anna Paulette Witt
At 4:02 p.m. Friday
the State Highway Pa
trol stopped traffic on
Patton Avenue just be
fore the 1-26 overpass
and Vice President
Bush's motorcade glided
off the interstate and
pulled up to Ashe
ville's new Ramada Inn
West.
Security was extreme
ly tight at the Inn,
with U.S. Marshalls and
police prowling every
where, a SWAT team
station-wagoned out
front, and a metal de
tector checking every
one who entered the
cordoned-off area where
the vice president was
to speak. Secret
service men with clear
plastic earphones near
ly outnumbered the in
vited guests and the
media people.
At 4:04 a long, black
limousine pulled up to
an Inn side entrance.
It was preceded and
followed by patrol cars
and a station wagon.
