WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 26, 1966 THE CAROLINA JOURNAL PAGE 4 23 Balls Into Billiard Run '^So Far So Good^ Mosconi BY JOHN LAFFEKTY “So far so good,” was the mod est comment of Willie Masconi, world’s pocket billiard champion, after successfully running his first 23 balls in an exibition game with Mr. Willard Brown, Monday after noon, October 17. Masconi went on to amaze the over 200 student and faculty gath ered in the cafeteria by extend ing his run to 63 balls, and even tually defeating home town favorite Mr. Brown, 150 to 20. Mr. Mosconi’s evening exibition game was even more astounding. After missing on his opening shot, he came back with a run of 156 oalls before scratching in the left comer pocket. Following each exhibition game, Mr. Mosconi gave a brief summery of the basic fundamentals of the game of pool. His advice to the novice was to hold the cue loosely, three to six inches behind the balance point. Sighting down the cue as though it were a rifle, and com plete relaxation throughout the shot were major factors which Mosconi considered essential for success in billards. Mr. Mosfconi concluded his per formance with a demonstrtion oi trick shots. Some of these were impressive in their complexity, produced humorous results, and added a comic touch to the show. Following his performances, Mr. Mosconi gave individual ad vice and instruction. Charlotte Beaten Physically As Well As Mathematically BY JOHN LAFFEUTY Our members of the UNC-C cross country team traveled to Lynchburg Va. to run in a tri- Aiay meet against Lynchburg Coll- 2ge, Friday, Oct. 21. Duo to the fact that five men rom each team are scored in a :ross country meet, the 49erharr- .ers were mathematically unable to win. Therefore coach Harvey Mur phy stated that this meet would be "un tor the individual experience which can be gained only by rumi- ing in actual com|x;tition, and un der varied conditions. Charlotte came in a poor third, scoring 74 points to Lynchburg’s 24 and Randolph Macon’s 35. Jim Pecham from Randolph Macon took first place with a spectacular time of 20 minutes and 41 seconds over the mountainous 3.8 mile course. The individaul members of the 49er squad improved their times greatly. John Lafferty crossed the finish line in 23:16, Mike Ridge in 23:36, Lynn Griffin in 25:59, and Jerrold Burks in 26:06. First Physical Ed. Field To Begin Construction Soon BY JAN BALLARD Construction on the first per manent Pl^'sical education field will begin in tlie near future. A flat space nortliwest of the cen tral campus is to be the site. State Senator Herman Moore raised $2,500 tor the field in a short time from five contributors. As no funds were set aside tor tlris field, private funds were re quired. Vice Chancelor Bonnie Cone says that $250,000 for the building of a field house was appropriated through Senator Moore’s efforts. The field will be large enough for touch football, softball, soccer and track and field sports such as shot put, pole vault, discus throw, sprint rungs, and hurdles. Hope fully, the facility can be completed this fall for seeding and can be used this spring. Coach Harvey Murphy feels that this will be a giant step ahead in tire physical education and in tramural program. Architects, A. G. Odell, Jr., and Associates, are looking for a place that does not have excessive rocks before tliey begin construc tion of tlie field house. Removal of excessive rocks may be a pro hibitive cost factor. Take Elections Seriously (Continued from Page 2) fleeted in your laws. Thus is the responsibility of the freshman class defined. The off icers and representatives must be dependable and interested in more than holding an office for the pop ularity and prestige tliat it may bring. Accordlingly, elections in coll ege, unlike most high school con tests, are no decided by popular ity; they are decided by issues and efforL The hard working can didate will be the laboring legis lator which the voters need and want to represent tliem. Know the candidates and make the choice carefully. Thomas Dewey was a sure thing for the Republicans in 1948 against tlie Democratic Harry Truman and the Dixiecrat’s Strom Thurmond. He was such a sure winner that a Chicagd paper printed their scooping banner headline pro claiming his victory before the election was over. Understandably, they were chagrined when they dis covered they were tlie possessors of thousands of useless newspap ers. Ceitainly the election is not won until the final vote is tallied. Make your vote a postive one. All to often the people who will represent one-hundred per cent of their class are ''elected by fifteen to thirty percent of its members. Frequently tliose who lament election results most are those who did not even to go tlie trou ble to vote. By neglecting to be counted, they have voted against their choice of candidates. Be con cerned about your Student Govern ment and take a moment to ex press your political preferences on a ballot. Before voting, make ityourbus iness to meet the candidates and hear their aspirations. Notice tlie candidates who work the hardest and sacrifice the most during tlie campaign period, for tliey will make tlie best legislators. Having a good slate of nominees to se lect from, tlie frosh must seek out the excellent and place them in the seats of authority. Make your candidate one whom you would be proud to see re presenting our University. Change Wanted? (Continued from Page 3; Marauders. Some students had tliought about a change. Many had. not tliought. They simply wanted a change from the Forty-Niners. Many students felt they would like a chance to vote on another mascot, but they could offer no suggestions. Some students said they simply do not care on way or another. Swain’s Charcoal Steak House 1800 \/.

Every body head for the cheering sec tion — Basketball season is com ing!” This might be the cry of UNC-C’s newly formed Pep Club. According to Pam Me Kenney, vice - president of the club, the main purpose of the Pep Club is to back sports. “We’re really going to try to build up the atten dance at all home games,” she said. “Also, we plant to increase publicity for basketball games by using posters and public announ cements.” The club members plan to sit together at all home games and at present, they have plans underway for an organized cheering section. Plans are also in progress for a card section, “although we don’t know how soon this can be or ganized,” Pam explained. Diana Clark, secretary, stated that the club’s constitution was approved last week by the Leg islature and tliat they “are ready to begin full scale operation,’' The officers of the organization were elected on October 17. They are in addition to Pam and Diana, Larry Myer, president and John Crain, treasurer.
