Circulation of Questionaires By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN Over 1,000 questionaires, asking student opinion on intercollegiate box ing, have been distributed over the campus by coaches Mike Ronman and Wally Dunham in an effort to es tablish a statistical report for the en lightment of the student legislature when it next convenes. Physical edu cation, boxers and other friends of the sport have volunteered their services and are conducting personal research with the printed forms. A bill to abolish boxing was tabled last week for "investigation," and a committee, headed by Basketballer Fish Worley, appointed for a perusal of the situation. A study, it is alleged, is now being made by the infirmary in order to present a report on the injuries sus tained in intercollegiate boxing, par ticularly at the University. "IN ALL FAIRNESS Yesterday, an authority who asked to have his name withheld, stated: "In all fairness, it seems to me that if a report is going to be made about in juries in athletics, it should single out boxing alone, but should include the extent and types of injuries sustained in all other sports. Boxing has been proven by available records to be less harmful than many other forms of activities." Knowing that general student opinion is in favor of the continuance of boxing as an intercollegiate sport at the University, Boxing Coach Mike Ronman and his assistant Wally Dun ham drew up mimeographed question aires, asking "Do you believe boxing should continue as an intercollegiate sport? Yes or No." ONLY 12 SAID NO Yesterday several hundred had al ready been filled out and returned. A (Continued on last page) "Sportsmanship, Please" Joyner A number of expressions of dis approval of the sportsmanship dis played by our students at the past few basketball games have come to me. Certainly this booing and fail ure to get quiet when oponents are making foul shots is not represen tative of the student body general ly and is rather embarrasing to our team members who are playing hard, clean sportsmanlike balL We are not helping win the ball game by such ill-mannered actions. Please, in the interests of fair play and for the sake of our reputation as Carolina hosts let's direct our en thusiasm otherwise in the State game tonight and in the games to come. I'm sure the matter needs only to be called to our attention. Signed: Jim M. Joyner Pres.
