THE DECRiX PACffi 7 Basketball - A Review by Donnie Crawford On December 1, the 1967- 68 edition of North Carolina Wesleyan basketball got under way in Charlotte against the U. N. C. -Charlotte 49’ers, with our Bishops coining out on top by the score of 71-69. Trail ing by twelve points late in the second half, the Bishops used a strong full court press to tie Charlotte at 69-69.

AT PEOPLES ARE WORKING FOR z^/ PEOPLES BANK & TRUST COMPANY KARATE CLUB FOR VIED Much has been written and otherwise said concerning the short life spans of clubs on campus. In its brief history Wesleyan has managed to bury quite a few. Those organi zations that have survived have done so due to an ability to cope with student apathy and function with little financial as sistance. With this in mind, seven Wesleyan students have recently formed a club which depends upon little or no fi nancial aid and does not re quire participation by a large portion of the student body. For three weeks, Bennett Con nelly, Fred Dixon, Doug Yamold, Art Falcon, and this reporter have been straining newly - discovered muscles, flattening stomachs, and other wise sustaining generally tol erable bruises. Under the na- tient supervision of Courtney Thomas, a junior English ma jor, this group has been work ing diligently and as often as schedules have allowed, learn ing and perfecting the basic techniques of self-defense em ployed in Shodokan karate. A freshman, Paul Leeland, has taken much of his time to dem onstrate Taekwon-do, a Korean form of karate. It is the common belief among laymen that karate is an exotic blending of self-hypnosis and brute force. In truth, neither expression is relevant to the art In its simplest terms,. Karate is a fdrm of calculated deliberately non-vlolent vio lence: an art that reconciles a serene presence of mind with the functioning of the body as a defensive weapon, capable of executing lethal blows. Through long hours of practice and rig orous exercise, a karateka, or a stud«it of karate, leams the true meaning of selt-discipline and the total conditioning of muscles. Membership in the Wesleyan karate club is open to anyone who is willing to take the art seriously and abide by the rules. New members will find them selves working with very en thusiastic students in an at mosphere of mutual respect and dedication.
