Coach or instructor?
Ifs a difficult choice for P.E. faculty members to make
by Will Wilson
Staff Writer
The Department of Physical Education is,
in large part, a training ground for coaches.
It is the natural place to look when someone
needs a coach, since, theoretically at least,
those doing the training should make the
best coaches.
The Department of Athletics in recent
years has been searching for coaches almost
constantly because of the proliferation of
new sports on the varsity level. .
What an easy task it must be for Director
of Athletics Bill Cobey to walk from his
Carmichael Auditorium office to adjoining
Woollen Gym, where P.E. Department
Chairman Dr. Carl Blyth's office is, and say,
"Carl, how about loaning me a couple of
coaches this season from your staff?"
What Cobey is asking for is part-time
help. All of the new sports are currently
nonrevenue-producing ones. Thus, they are
causing the financial pie of UNC sports to be
cut into thinner and thinner slices, while not
causing an expansion in pie diameter at all.
"I don't think our budget can stand adding
any more full-time coaches, Cobey said
recently. "We're going to have to depend
more and more on part-time help, since there
are so. many more sports."
So, in fact, Cobey, as did his predecessors.
has done just that hired several people

exists, simply because coaching takes timt
away from academic pursuits of P.E.
Department personnel. Even if they are part
time helpers in the athletic department, they
are still full-time instructors in the P.E.
department. The coaching is a time-.
consuming sidelight, with extra pay. x
"You have to look at the other fellow,"
Blyth says. "He sees the guy down the hall
leave after teaching class and not come back
the rest of the day, while he's devoting all of
his time to professional activities."
But Blyth emphasized that it--is an.
individual matter with each instructor.
"Ninety per cent of the people coordinate
the two fine, but there are always two or'
three cases where it doesn't work," he says.
He cited Dr. Marvin Allen, who is retiring
this year, as an example of the 90 per cent..
Allen coached soccer and taught a full
course load for more than 30 years.
"Dr. Allen never left a class not taken care
of properly," Blyth says.
Allen is rare in that he never had to decide
between coaching and the P.E. department.
UNC is full of people who have reached or
will reach a point in their lives- when they
have to choose. Persons like Pat Earey, Fred
Mueller and Boyd Newman chose physical
education. Persons like Walter Rabb chose
athletics. Persons like Dr- Angela Lumpkin
have not had to choose yet.
Lumpkin, as an instructor of three classes,
director of the P.E. required program and
coach of women's basketball, usually has
quite a day lined up when she wakes up in the
morning.
"What I do now 1 love," she says. "I'm 26
and not married. I am here (on campus) from
8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. each day. I take one hour
for lunch and no time for supper. 1 spend two
hours working after I get home. If 1 were
married, 1 couldn't do all this."
Of that 16-hour day, a varying length of
time is spent on basketball.
"Practice takes two to three hours."
Lumpkin says. "Sometimes 1 will spend eight
hours a day on basketball and other times
Carolina fencers slash Cavs
by Ken Roberts
Staff Writer
The UNC men's and women's fencing teams returned to Chapel
Hill Sunday after posting six victories against no defeats in meets
with the University of Virginia and William and Mary.
On Saturday, the Cavaliers could win but three of the 27 bouts
against the Carolina men. Neither foil nor sabre dropped a single
bout, as both won 9-0. Southpaw Ken Williams and fellow foilsman
Ron Pichler never felt the touch of a Virginia blade in each of their
two wins. Jim Krause, also 2-0 for the day, was only touched once.
Three more wins were claimed by Scott Corzine.
Also 9-0, the sabre team fenced well according to UNC Coach Ron
Miller. Dan Strait led the sabremen. capturing three wins in as many
bouts.
Epee. which posted a 6-3 mark, fenced with equipment problems.

just practice time, depending on what has to
be done.
"Five years from now, this might be all
different, but right now 1 haven't made up
my mind which one I like best."
In contrast to Lumpkin is Bill Lovingood.
He is 45. married, with four children.
Lovingood is a baseball man. He set and still
holds the Atlantic Coast Conference record
for lowest earned run average while pitching
at Wake Forest. For the past 19 years, he has
been an assistant coach at UNC;
But this spring, for the first time,
Lovingood will be spending his afternoons in
his office rather than on the baseball
diamond. .
"It's a hell of a dilemma," Lovingood says.
"Here I am at a point where I need as much
money as I'll ever need, and I give up $1,200
to $2,200 (his coaching supplement).
"It just came down to being told by three
different department heads that if you persist
in coaching, you will be holding yourself
back, I guess."
But Lovingood says the money factor is
not the main problem. His love for the game
and helping young players are what he hates
to leave.
"I've been in baseball for 26 years, and
now 1 just walk away from it. 1 believe I've
shown I have some competence in baseball
and can contribute a lot to a university that
has set a goal of excelling."
But Lovingood conceded that being off
the baseball field does contribute to his P.E.
department activities.
"By not coaching. I'm in the office and
accessible, to students and their problems.
I'm free nrtwto read more journals, too. I feel
like I'm doing a better job of teaching classes.
I'm half-happy."
"There is not a formalized agreement
between the two departments." Cobey said.
"Perhaps it would be appropriate, but there's
a lot of history behind this, and I've only
been athletic director for a year. Perhaps in
the future an agreement can be made."

Shaving the seconds away
by Tod Hughes
Staff Writer
Tapering and shaving are essential
elements of swimming, but if one were to ask
the average student what this terminology
meant, odds are a shrug and a puzzled look
would be the response. '
"It's what swimmers do when they peak,"
UNC Coach Jim Wood said. "Swimmers
train very hard during the season, and before
their biggest meet of the year they'll taper
and shave. This means that three weeks
before the meet, they'll cut back on their
yardage, do. some sprints and do a lot of
resting.
"Instead of going 10,000 yards a day,
they'll go 2000. It lets your body catch up
with a-11 the work you've done. Then they'll
shave off all of their hair. It has physiological
and psychological benefits. This is when you
get your best times of the year.
"You can have a 200 freestyler who swims
a 1:45 go 1:38, cutting six or seven seconds
off a race which is only a hundred seconds
long. Your times will drop that much."
UNC senior tri-captain Steve McDonald
agreed that shaving and tapering has helped
his performance in the past.-'-''
"I n the 200 free last year, I swam a 1 :45 in
almost every meet. Then after tapering and
shaving. I swam a 1:41 in the ACC (Atlantic
Coast Conference) championships. The
longer the distance, the more the drop. You
could cut eight seconds off in the 500 free or
and Indians
"They (the Tar Heel epeeists) fenced reasonably well under the
circumstances. I wasn't displeased with our performance: but, it
could have been a lot better." Miller said.
The team went to Williamsburg. Va.. on Sunday to defeat William
and Mary. 19-8. "We did fence a little better: they were tougher
competition," Miller said.
The women's A team topped Virginia. 11-5, and William and
Mary. 14-2. "Both Garney Ingram and (Cathy) Duck Swan had
excellent weekends, with Garney fencing exceptionally well against
William and Mary. Linda Gaston and Anne Nipper showed much
improv ement. The A team fenced better against William and Mary.
They were more determined 1 think." Miller said.
The B team polished off the successful weekend with a 13-3 win
over Virginia and a 14-2 win over William and Mary. "Robin Cooke,
Cathy Deener, Patti Urquhart. and Danni Bridges all had
outstanding weekends, losing only five of 32 bouts." Miller said.

about one second in the 100.
"Shaving is mostly psychological, but
tapering is physically beneficial, because
you're rested and have more strength."
"We do it for our ACC championships or
for nationals," Wood said, "depending on
which our group is aiming for."
Wood said that those swimmers who
qualify for nationals before the ACCs won't
taper and shave before the nationals. Those
not qualifying for nationals will taper and.
shave for the ACCs, hoping to make
national qualifying times.
The women have made national cuts in 1 3
events so far, so these swimmers won't taper
until nationals, while the other women will
prepare for the Virginia Invitational this
weekend and the final dual meet with N.C.
State.
"Some teams do it (shave and taper)
especially for us," Wood said, "which puts us
at a distinct disadvantage. Some teams know
they aren't going to finish higher than fourth
in their conference, or be able to score points
at nationals, so they'll gear up for one
specific meet.
"Last year Virginia tapered and shaved for
us, and went absolutely crazy and beat us by
three points in the dual meet. But when it
came to the ACC championships, they had
225 points and we had 454, so we more than
doubled them. Tapering and shaving makes
that much of a difference."
"We felt we could get third (in the ACC),"
Virginia coach Ron Good said, "but not
second. We didn't have the times Carolina
did. We were certain of third, so why not go
all out and try to win the dual meet?"
Two of the Cavaliers losses this season
have come to Duke and Clemson, both of
whom partially shaved and tapered for the
meet. Good feels that if it weren't for this, his
team would have definitely won both meets.
"If we had prepared the way they did, we'd
have won," Good said.
Tapering and shaving is a multi-faceted
weapon, which can be used during the season
against one special rival, or to register one's
best times in conference or national meets.
The swimming coach employs whichever of
these strategies he sees as being in the best
interests of his team. Many the poolside
mentor has mused: to shave or not to shave;
that is the question.
