Page eight/Carolina Journal/February 20, 19^ Gymnastics Club flexible in its structure By Theresa Herlevsen UNCC is growing in every direction: class- room buildings, organizations, athletics and enrollment—every thing to support the growing needs and desires of the students. But UNCC is using beams to support more than buildings. The new gymnastic club is using beams to support their organization. Gymnastics is fast becoming one of the most popular sports in the world. UNCC has recognized this happen ing and is doing something about it. Linda Rough, a native up-state New Yorker current UNCC physical education instructor and sponsor/instructor for the club, outlined a few facts about UNCC's new addition. “First of all, I’d like to stress all credit for development of the gymnastics club goes to the students of my gymnastics classes; they showed the initial Film Festival free for UNCC (continued from page 6) shown twice each day Tuesday through Fri day. The times will be at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The schedule for the festival is as follows: Tuesday, Feb. 20 The Emmigrants (Swe den) Wednesday, Feb. 21 In the Name of the Fat her (Italy) Thursday, Feb. 22 Cousin Angelica (Spain) Friday, Feb. 23 Two English Girls (French) All of the screenings, which are color, will be held in McKnight.

Students should not be concerned with their skill level. It is a new program and beginners are welcome.” The purpose of the club is not to congregate a group of highly skilled gymnasts, but to ar range a time to get students together who have an interest in ac quiring skills and developing a good pro gram. Presently the club will meet one night a week, Tuesday, from 7-9 p.m. in the Mine Shaft for practice. Hopefully, given the interest there, the club will grow and develop. Rough sees a possible sion or for a package price of $4.50. Following the Thurs day night film, at ap proximately 9:30 p.m., a panel discussion will be held in the McKnight Main Lounge.

Tumbling is one part of gymnastics many participants really flip over. Beane is hoping the International Film Festival will go over well. She feels the films will be interesting and educational because “they express how life is in other cultures.” She adds, in the past, people have attended the festival for “a better understanding and just enjoyment.” The club was officially voted in last Tuesday, Feb. 13, but the first meeting will be held Feb. 20. Practices will be organized to coverall basic tumbling and will MY TIME OF DAY When I’m easin’ into evening, one beer does it best. Hey, 1 love my Bud®! progress to all gym nastic stunts and skills.
