Page Eight THE VOICE March 26,1981 SPORTS- F.S.U. Tennis By JACKIE McKINNEY The 1980-81 Fayetteville Tennis Team’s season is about to begin. The first match will be held on the home courts on March 21. Another match is scheduled for the next day in Livingstone. This year’s tennis team has four veterans, Steve McFarland, Lemond McKuther, Wallace Preston and Leroy Worth. There are two new members on this team Kathy Davis and Jackie McKinney. Coach Saunders has high hopes for his team this year with a few players eyeing their way to making all CIAA. Good Luck to the Broncos Racketeers. Junior Varsity Round Up By WILLIE SMITH The Junior Varsity basketball team had a very successful season this year. They ended their season with a very impressive 13-3 overall record. The team averaged 98.7 points per game and took a very commanding position in their conference. Top scores for this Junior Varsity team were John Sylvester who averaged 21.7 points per game and Deno Russel who averaged 21.5 points per game. Looks Uke good prospects for varsity basketball. NAIA Women’s Area Championship Broncos End Season By WILLIE SMITH The Broncos of FSU went to Nor folk earUer this month in hopes of winning the CIAA Tournament. In stead, they were to fall at the mercy of the Elizabeth City State University Vikings in the first round of the tour nament. Dispite 23 points by Rick Robinson and the game high 30 points of Steve Mims, the Broncos were defeated by a score of 97-76. Three of the Vikings scored well into double figures to capture this victory. Arthur Gaskins scored 23 points, Pierre Bland scored 22 points and Donnie Carter added 18 points to boost the Vikings to their victory over the Broncos. Kentucky State blasts their way to Kansas City By DERRICK EDDIE, Sports Writer CIAA regular season Champions Fayetteville State University Lady Bron cos and the Fayetteville Community recently had the opportunity to host the NAIA Area Championships in the Lilly Gym. Four very highly regarded teams participated in the two-day event which sent the tourney champions to Kansas City, Missouri for the NAIA National Championship. The teams which par ticipated in the tournament were from South Carolina (USC Aiken, 22-7), West Virginia (Univ. of Charleston, 23-7,) Kentucky (Kentucky State Univ., 13-7) and North Carolina (Fayetteville State Univ., 24-5). The first night, number 1 seated University of Charleston was in action against number 4 seated Kentucky State. Leading through most of the game. University of Charleston then panicked when the Thorobrettes of KSU began to close the wide gap. Consequently, the Thorobrettes closed the wide gap and went on to upset coach Ron Mitchell and the University of Charleston by 12. In the nightcap, the homestanding Lady Broncos of Fayetteville State University entertained the Pacers of the University of South Carolina-Aiken. Early in the game the Pacers began to smash the disgruntled Lady Broncos team on both ends of the court. A second-half spurt was nullified by the Pacers as they went on to win over the Lady Broncos. Joanna Giles is the only womens basketball coach USC-A has ever known. USC-A has only had womens basketball for 5 years. Last year, Joanna Giles and her Lady Pacers reached the South Carolina AIAW finals only to lose by 6 to a very powerful College of Charleston (S.C.) team. Giles’ record is unknown to this sports writer for her first 3 years; however, this sports writer feels Giles’ is a superb coach and will eventually reach the ultimate goal of not only another S.C. State championship, but also an NAIA National Cham pionship. Ron Mitchell from Kentucky State is a unique coach. He took over the head coaching job after internal problems with the previous coach at Kentucky State. Mitchell’s uniqueness is displayed by his attitude. Unusually calm on the bench throughout the game, Mitchell’s Thorobretts quietly blast opposing teams off the floor. These two coaches and their teams were to meet for the finals of the NAIA Area Tournament. And what a final game it was. USC-A surprisingly jumped out to a commanding 15-point lead early in the game and even went in at half- time leading the ball game. However, in the second half the Thorobretts, aided by the exceptional style of Carolyn Walker, quietly began lighting the fuse which eventually blasted USC-A off the floor. Walker ended up with 28 points to lead all scores and to assist Kentucky State in their 84-74 triumph over USC- A. Kim Thomas was high scorer from USC-A with 24 points. GETOUTANDVOTEM! Elections will be held March 26-27 in the Rudolph Jones Student Center from 9-5. Remember to bring your Student ID card. Looking back at the past few years the team that usually defeats FSU, has gone on to win the tournament. ECSU kept that record intact. When asked what happened in Nor folk, Coach Ford replied, “We ran in to a better ball club.” It was his view that we went into the conference a very young team and we made several mistakes upon which they capitalized. “They also outshot us from the out side,” Coach Ford is quoted as saying. Being that we were such a young team. Coach Ford looks forward to a much better season next year. We are only losing two starters to graduation, but those two positions will be hard to fill. We are losing the very impressive per formance of Steve Mims and Charles Peoples. Coach Ford is looking for ward to a very successful recruitment program this year. He stated that he needs a strong shooting forward and much more rebounding power. If recruiting goes as planned, F.S.U. should be the team to beat next season. Student Participation By WILLIE SMITH The athletic activities on this campus are very inclusive of nearly all sporting activities offered on any other college campus. There is Tennis, Golf, Sof tball, Basketball and Football, just to name the major ones. The athletes who participate in these activities strive hard to excell in their given sport; however, the student body is not very supportive of many of these sports. The basketball team and the football team is fine and at every home game the fans and supporters are there, but there are more sports being played than just these two. We have an excellent golf team and a very fine tennis team, but they aren’t really backed by the student body. Even in the case where we’ve won six straight CIAA golf tournaments, very little recognition was given to this fine golf team by the students or this paper, as a matter of fact. I feel it is past time for a change. As I talked with some members of these virtually unrecognized teams, I asked, how can you continue to per form so well without that backing and cheering on of the fans? I was told by each that the team has to come together and cheer each other on. They feel that eventually the students will come out, but how long will it take for us to appreciate all our teams for what they are really worth. We all know that no matter how good you are, the sup port of others always adds to your con fidence. Let’s show our teams that we are confident in their abilities by tur ning out for their matches, whenever possible, and ultimately cheering them on to victory. Basketball season is over for FSU, but the golf, tennis and sof tball teams are just beginning. Give them your support and show them that we are coming out, to support them. The Future (Continued From Page 2) of Human Resources and Community Involvement. One social area in which corporations have felt a need to disclose their progress is “Advan cement of Women”. The Ernst and Whinney 1978 Survey on Social Responsibility Disclosure shows that 53 percent of the companies having such reports indicated in their annual reports their progress with respect to the advancement of women. The task force on Corporate Social Performance has concluded in their report that there is a definite trend among leading companies to integrate consideration of societal issues into the mainstram of the business decision making process, in many firms managers are evaluated and compen sated with regard to their success in at taining certain specified firm social ob jectives such as minority and womens’ hiring and advancement. All of the above indicates that ac counting (and consequently accountan ts) must cope with additional reporting tasks imposed by these times of “future shock”. The accounting profession must devise methods of reporting and measuring that are com- patable with the needs of an infor mation society. Paul H. Smith is a member of the World Future Society and an Assistant Professor of Accounting at FSU. FAYETTEVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY THEFAYETTEVILLIAN 1981-82 YEARBOOK STAFF APPLICATION For what position?
