PAGE 4 — THE DECREE — OCTOBER 17,1986 JUNIOR BILL TULLY IN ACTION ON FIELD Tulley breaking several records Bill Tully arrived at North Carolina Wesleyan with a broken leg. He'll leave with a collection of broken records. Only a junior, the Freehold, N.J., native holds practically every offen sive record for the Bishops and has helped his N.C. Wesleyan club to a Top 20 NCAA Division III national ranking. With his club 8-0-2, Tully has scored 11 goals and had eight assists midway through the season with three-goal hat tricks coming against Stockton State and Pembroke State. But after losing six starters from last year's 12-6-1 club, the Bishops weren't cxpected to be undefeated through 10 games. "I think the del'ense has turned out to be strong," said five-foot-ten, 169 pound Tully. "Coach (Tony) Ferrell put people in the right spot." When he arrived at N.C. Wes leyan as a freshman, the only spot for Tully was on the sidelines. A collision with a goalie that summer put Tully out of action with a broken leg. He was red-shirted that season while another Freehold Boro HS graduate Scott Preston was racking up post-season honors. Preston graduated last year with All- American honors while another Boro graduate, Ted Burke, arrived this sea son to play for the Bishops. By his sophomore season, Tully was a steady fixture at the forward spot for the Bishops. He led N.C. Wesleyan in scoring last year — even to his own surprise. "I get my playing time at for ward, and that's what I'm supposed to do — score goals," said Tully. "But yes, I was surprised." A bit uneasy with his slew of records, Tully is quick to point out that other players could step in and do the job as well. "I’m sure that if (teammates Greg) ArmandorDoug (Nesbitt) were play ing forward they could score just as many goals," he said. Like the rest of the N.C. Wes- layan squad, Tully would like to be scoring goals in the NCAA Tour nament in November. The Bishops made the field two years ago, but missed out last season. But to do that, the Bishops will have to compete witli othci: nation ally ranked Dixie Conference clubs such as Christopher Newport and national champion UNC-Greensboro. But they'll have to compete with the Bishops' Bill Tully — a soccer player who's breaking records instead of legs, and with a hot streak in scoring, breaking a number of N.C. Wesleyan opponents' spirits along the way. President outlines vision of Wesleyan development (Continued from Page 1) will be very deliberate and syste matic in trying to fulfill these pro jectors in some deliberate plan of order, so we can identify how much money it will take, and what sort of projects will raise the mon ey. So what I feel I'm committed to is directing the college's resources in such a way that we can give the sort of support to academic pro grams, and student life programs, as to being very specific, 1 can't be very specific at this time, other than the basic committment to progress the resources. The Decree: What are some of the items included on your pro fessional wish list for the school? Fritz: Well, ah, on the wish list. I've already enumerated some of them. I'm really committed to a stronger program of faculty deve lopment. I've had a couple of meet ings recently with the director of the library, we talked about how we can improve the quality of our collection, the quality of our hold ings. I think that as an institution, we need to focus on programs that we recognize as strengths, and put the necessary money behind them to make them stronger. Things that 1 mentioned like faculty de velopment library, sports facilities, all these things. Let me qualify that, I think "wish list" in the sense that, I don't recall if I made this point in that article, 1 don't think that any individual or in stitution should be content with just staying where they are. The wish list I'm talking about is having plans or setting goals knowing that we are going some where, that we want to be a better institution, and that these are ways that we can achieve those things. And as we reach those goals we will set new ones. We will continue to build. So, that's the wish list. Having goals always helps you to achieve. The Dccree: Do you think that tuition will continue to go up? Fritz: You know, I suppose that's just a basic fact of our econo mic existence that costs tend to always rise. I just can't make any predictions of what the tuition will be. I believe we are committed though to insuring that whatever the tuition is being charged that it represents a good value, that it is a fair tuition rate. I can't make any predictions of what it will be in the future or if it will increase. The Decree: You mentioned earlier that you felt the school relied too heavily on tuition. Fritz: Yes indeed, we rely far too heavily on tuition. I have no exact number, roughly 70 to 80 percent of our operating income is based on tuition. What I would like to see is some ratios changing. This doesn't mean that the tuition will continue to go down but we need to be raising more money from cor porate and foundation sources, and unrestricted giving to the insti tution so that we will develop oth er sources which will make us less dependent on tuition. I'd like to see the ratios shift. The Decree: How do you plan on rebuilding the endowment? Fritz: Well, I’m not sure that rebuilding is the correct word, the endowment has already been re built in the sense that it was low years ago. It is going up, steadily go ing up. The Board of Trustees, al though no date has been set, will be considering a capital fundrais ing campaign for some time in the future. And it is probably a capital campaign that will be used to increase the basic economy. The Dccree: Can you tell me what exactly you have in mind for this capital project? Fritz: No, I just don't want to say anything about it because noth ing is definite yet The Dccree; How are you plan ning on revising the long range plan? What are you going to do?" Fritz: Basically, we are getting under way, well we are under way now the admistrative council is ad dressing that and developing a plan of attack. So, that’s under way. We produced a plan last year, and we will be refining it this year, trying to be more specific about broad institutional goals." The Dccree: Will the faculty be getting raises next year? Fritz: Well, not only faculty, no across the board pay raise was given this year. I think it is very important that we try to figure out a pay raise. I don't know if there will be one this year. It will prob ably be on our agenda for the Oc tober Board meeting. We'll be tak ing a look at the budget and see if there is any way possible to extract even a modest pay raise. Business fraternity to sell yearbook ads By PAM HIAAINS Phi Beta Lambda, North Caro lina Wesleyan's business fraternity, is working together with the year book staff this year in an attempt to sell ads to local businesses. The attempt is a joint effort to help decrease costs for the yearbook and help Phi Beta Lambda raise money to fund their activities for the year. Phi Beta Lambda will sell the ads in Nash and Edgecornbe coun ties, and may even extend their efforts to Roanoke Rapids, Wilson, Bishops may test for drugs By MIKE TRUBEY Drug use in today's society has become more and more prevalent. Ever since pro athletes who have used drugs have confessed, people have pushed to have testing for drugs. This testing is now moving into college athletics. The present statutes for Division III schools are as follows: (1) Drug testing will be used in only two Division III sport tournaments. (2) Each athlete at a Division III school must sign a consent to drug testing in case they are tested. If the athlete does not sign the consent they're ineligible for play that year. According to Athletic Director, Mike Fox, "mandatory drug testing at Wesleyan is a possibility but I'm not sure." Fox also thinks that drug testing is a good idea. "I believe that drug testing is a deterrent and I feel that athletes at this division are role models," Fox said. Fox also believes that the athlete? should set an exam ple for young people. However, there are people on campus that oppose to drug testing. Kori Townsend, a junior at Wes leyan, said, "Why single out one group (the athletes),.. If they use a drug testing it should be adminis tered to all." Mike Morgan, a sopho more soccer player, said, "Drug test ing is a waste of time and money for an institution to test their athletes. At Division III, drug use is not that prevalent." Greenville, and Raleigh. The busi ness fraternity will retain fifty per cent of the total ad sales, with the yearbook staff getting the remain ing 50 percent. "I think it's good for two organi zations on this campus to be work ing together," said George Morse, President of Phi Beta Lambda, "and we will benefit from the sales, as will the yearbook staff." Kori Townsend, a member of the yearbook staff, feels having advertisements in the yearbook will "promote the yearbook and encourage further public relations with the community." Townsend said she thinks it is a good opportu nity for both groups as it "helps both the business fraternity and the yearbook to earn money. The money will provide for a better yearbook and funds for the busi ness fraternity to work with." Hopefully both the yearbook staff and Phi Beta Lambda will benefit from the ad sales for the 1987 Dissenter, and the money will benefit the students of both groups. It seems to be worthwhile project for both groups and it gives two community groups a good chance to work together.
