I- Varsity fencers give lessons on sport to area schoolchildren By TONI CARTER Staff Writer UNC varsity fencers Cindy Killian and Tnnv Sharrw have been teaching fencing .for fifth- and sixth-graders at Glenwood . Elementary School for the past four weeks. The fencing class is one of 1 1 special in terest classes that finished this past Wednesday, said Joyce Buckley, the parent in charge of the program. "Fencing is one of the most popular :; classes because the instructors are so en thusiastic," Buckley said. Sharpe, a senior EnelishRTVMP ma jor, said, "(The children) are doing very well They are more eager to" learn, and their bodies are more receptive to learning new things than many college students'." Killian agreed. "They don't have a lot of preconceived ideas of what fencing is," the junior Englisheducation major said. The fencers brought medieval weapons to show the students. They taught the -children the basics of the sport, like the - en garde position, advance, retreat, lunge and the arm positions for holding the weapon, Killian said. The children also came to UNC to see the fencing room in Fetzer Gym and to watch the fencing P.E. classes in competi " tion. , "In Europe, where the best fencers are, fencing is taught at this early age," ' Sharpe said. "If we teach kids at this age, maybe we'll have even better fencers as the years go on." Buckley said choosing fencing as one of the special interest classes was just a shot in the dark. The sport was different from any the children had been exposed to before. She said that Ron Miller, coach of the UNC men's and women's fencing teams, was enthusiastic about introducing the sport in the school. Miller said Sharpe and Killian in troduced the children to the physical re quirements of the sport and showed them what competition was like. "The kids got a fairly broad exposure in a short time," he said. A base of good fencers in North Carolina would help the schools in the area, he said. "Chapel Hill is unique because it offers many different things to kids, Miller said. "I was very happy to see fencing includ ed." Other special interest classes taught at Glenwood included botany, chemistry, jazz dancing, creative writing and golf, Buckley said. "There has been 100 percent commit ment on everyone's part. ..not just parents, but also people outside the school system, including many UNC peo ple," she said. Killian said that as an education major she was interested in working with the children. She said that she hopes to teach high school after graduation but that working with this age group was different and interesting. Sharpe said he taught the class because "I love fencing, and I love kids." : Miller added, "I think (Killian and Sharpe) did a very good job." - i .
