Players To Get Bone Transplants (Continued from page 3) though later procedures coiild returr\ them to their approximate normal heights once they have completed their playing years, either in college or in the professional leagues. Assistant coach Anthony "Ace Bandage” Imbroglio corrected the surgeon, saying the operations are a matter for the coaches to decide and will not be left to the whims of the youthful players who might not see their necessity. A Partial Guarantee “There are two aspects to winners in any sport," Imbroglio said. "These are 'desire,' 'pride' and 'hvirt.' With this operation we can at least guarantee the 'hurt' part, and that cuts down on the number of variables with which we have' to contend with. "Remember this always — when the going gets tough, the tough get growing," the coach said. "And you can take that to the bank." The Duke surgeon Feckless cautioned that there are still several hurdles that must be lept if the surgery is to succeed. The first "hurdle" relates to the body's natural tendency to reject foreign tissue. More Words of Wisdom "Necessity is the mother of invention," he said optimistically, "and we will cross that bridge when we come to it. First things first." Redr View The second hurdle that must be cleared in the "great leap forward" is approval by both the National Collegiate Athletic Association (N.C.A.A.) and the Amateur Athletic Union (A.A.U.). Current plans are to have the surgery submitted before a bipartisan comniittee of both groups so that the university can have its first national championship in hand before the organizations can agree on a mutually-acceptable site to hold discussions. A final obstacle is the question of whether athletic supporter bone bequests will be deductible from estate taxes after probate. Feckless and Imbroglio admitted that the question is "a thorny one," but said that they will proceed under an affirmative assumption as they solicit contributions during Alumni Weekend in the spring and intermissions of basketball games next season. i7 * • M T W T r 1 2 * 3 4 S t 7 t « 10 II 12 13 U IS le 17 II M 20 21 22 23 2* STS V a .. .. 13 tnru, U M a 21 22 23 2« U 2S 26 27 a 2t 30 31 April 1-8,1977 We would like to list lectures, symposia and other activities in the Innercalm Calendar.

' FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF MEDICAL STUDENTS—Workmen from the Masonry Shop last week began the laborious task of disassembling the Davison Building stone by stone so that the revered structure can be moved closer to the medical center library. Each stone will be numbered, according to mason Thurmond Briarhopper, and each will be returned to its proper place at the new site in the Ravine Parking Lot. Briarhopper, who learned his trade in the late 1920's and helped with the original construction of the School of Medicine, said he does not think the move is a good idea. "I sort of like it right where it is," he said, shrugging his shoulders. Plans are now being made to move the School of Nursing closer to the library in December. (Photo by Mistake) Cafeteria Adds Popular Drink The Department of Dietary Services has been awarded the North Carolina franchise for Coors Beer, director Bob O'Connell has announced. The item was added to the menu early this week and O'Connell said that customer response has been "over whelmingly positive." He said the Hospitd Cafeteria has been doing a volume business. O'Connell also noted that pretzels and potato chips are selling better than ever.
