The athletic department pragmatically
asserts gymnastics will survive the transition
from a varsity to a club sport. "There are a
lot of side benefits in being a club sport,
assures assistant athletic director William
Cobey. "There is more freedom on a club
and potential for state aid.
Only a liar or an optimist could make such
a statement. Cobey is not a liar, he has
abiding faith in theClub Sports Council and
honestly believes gymnastics will survive.
However, realistically speaking, gymnastics
is dead at Carolina; if lack of funds don't kill
it the competitive nature of gymnastics will.
The difference between gymnastics and
the other clubs is the difference between a
sport and a game. Participation in
gymnastics requires dedication not found in
other club sports. Members of the
gymnastics are highly skilled athletes
whereas club shorts are composed of
frustrated jocks and varsity rejects.
The goal of club sports like football and
rugby is to have a good time and 'pound
some Budweiser.' Gymnastics is serious
competition, not a parlor game. "Members
of the gymnastics team work harder and
longer than any other sport at Carolina,

seven straight months, and three days a week
during the summer. A lot of members went
to clinics during Christmas and Spring
vacations instead of going home."
Even though it is now a club sport people
will still come out for the team. "Gymnastics
is not something you can quit just because it
is not sanctioned by the University," said
Bobby Semes, a co-captain on last year's
team. "We worked our tailsoff and nevergot
any recognition. The satisfaction came from
competing."
There is no incentive as a club sport.
Members of the team are ineligible to
compete in NCAA sponsored meets. "That is
why I fought so much to have gymnastics
made a varsity sport when 1 came here six
years ago," said Sanders. "Gymnastics is
in another world from club sports. A lot of
people can not put up with the pain and
soreness but if there is competition to work
for it is a whole different story.
"You have to have something to look
forward to. Karate has different levels of
proficiency that can be achieved."
Gymnastics has no self-contained grading
system, recognition comes from competing.
"You have to work out every day to
compete in gymnastics," said Semes. "Rick

shape." That kind of dedication is not found
in club sports.
It is difficult to recruit boys from out of
state to endure such a demanding program
without a scholarship and no varsity status.

you can't raise it again and get high quality,

out of high school for a club sport."
The demotion of the gymnastics team put
the final nail in the coffin, but the program
actually began to die last spring when
Sanders announced his resignation as coach
due to "an unholy marriage between the
athletic and physical education
department."
Sanders had to serve two bosses, Carl
Blyth and Homer Rice, and pay homage to
none. The P.E. department was paying his
salary as an instructor, but Sanders devoted
more time to being gymnastics coach.
"The athletic department was paying me a
pittance in comparison," said Sanders. "I
wanted to work privately and continue
coaching the gymnastics team. I was also
tired of third and fourth place finishes. You
can't blame the kids, they worked hard, we
just did not have the horses or the money."
The University refused to acquiesce to his
demands for more freedom as a coach and
money for a big time program so Sanders
resigned and now has both.
Despite the total letdown by the
University Sanders has been able to establish
a private gymnastics school which enrolls
150 students and produced a state champion
in its first year of operation.
Even though his school is a financial as
well as an artistic success Sanders is still
The way the contest looks now it w ill be a
Sierra Leone team of very skilled individuals
versus the Chapel Hill team which puts
emphasis on team soccer. Chapel Hill's
goalie Mark Berson attested to the ability of
the players from Sierra Leone.
"The members of the Sierra Leone team
' are tremendous players. All of their players
are very skillful and in fact will be
methodical in trying to go one on one with
our players."
Kip Ward confirms Berson's statement
and spoke of this year's Sierra Leone team.
After winning the last two sets he sent coach Skakle
and the UNC team into jubilation. He turned it on like
no other Carolina player ever has in national
competition.
Other North Carolina netters, Rich McKee and
Rich Hardaway notched second round singles wins for
the Tar Heels and the doubles team of McKee and
Brock won their match.
But Brock, the rising junior from Norfolk, was the
big story for UNC. He completely dominated play in
the last two sets. Mott is the No. 2 man at UCLA and
Brock plays No. 3 at UNC.
In the first round Monday Carolina swept all its

concerned about the plight of the gymnastics
program at Carolina. "1 feel sorry for the
guys who can not transfer because of the late
notification date," he said. "Some guys, like
Jeff Jamieson, the best pe brmer on last
year's team, had already decided to transfer
when I announced my resignation, others
would have if they had known gymnastics
was going to become a club sport.
" If there was some inkling that gymnastics
would be dropped to a club sport the athletic
department whould have made it known to
the members of the team so they could decide
whether to go or stay. Now a lot of people a re
stuck. On top of it all Blyth hired an
outstanding coach from Louisiana State,
Ken Ourso, who spent the last year
competing in Japan."
Paul McAloon, a rising sophomore,
competed in gymnastics all through high
school so he could come to a college with a
varsity gymnastics team. Now there is
nothing to work for. The future of
gymnastics is dim. The team lost five seniors
in addition to Jamieson. They will leavea big
hole in the program that can not be filled.
"Worst of all there are 15 guys expecting to
be on a varsity gymnastics team who have
not been told," said Sanders. "I can not
imagine anyone coming here under these
circumstances."
"They are really first rate soccer players.
Their current session's record speaks for
their ability. The closest score that any of
their opponents have Finished with is five
goals less than the Sierra Leone final score."
But the Chapel Hill team has been
practicing for three weeks for this game. The
have realized that only by playing together as
a unit will they be able to win. They have
practiced their skills and have come up with
a game plan.
Chapel H ill will be playing a 4-3-3 defense
with four "attackers", three halfbacks and
three fullbacks. The halfback will be playing
both offense and defense. Also they plan to
commit their strong side fullback to playing
offense and hope the weak side halfback will
be able to compensate. Berson's comment
that "Everybody will be busy" seems to be a
rather large understatement.
Despite the fact that the team has only
practiced for three weeks together, it has the
advantage of having a lot of players that
have played in various programs in Chapel
Hill.'
There is plenty of room around the field so
everyone is encouraged to come and watch
top-notch soccer and support the home
team. When asked about the prospects of the
game Kip said, "1 would be surprised if the
two games will not be close. Whatever the
outcome, these international matches give
people an excellent chance to see exceptional
soccer during the summer."

Non-North Carolina members of the

to see if the tournament would draw as well
out of North Carolina as it has within the
state.
