Thursday, Oct. 7, 1982/Kaleidoscope/4 sports Dogs dance past CINC-G By Tim Riddle UJNCA’s tennis team started the season off right with an easy victory over winless UNC-Greensboro.

Staff photo by David Pickett Lady Dogs drop two By Carol Whitener Two of the three top seeded women’s tennis players are not go ing to play this fall. Melinda Haynes, who was seeded number two, dropped out of school. Haynes got married over the sum: mer and did not decide to return to school until July. “Things just did not work out be tween school and marriage,” said Coach Mike Sams. Money was also a factor, Sams added. Heather Hamilton, who was seed ed number three, is not ehgible to play this fall because she does not meet the academic standards of the National Association of Inter- collegic Athletics [NAIA], The Association of Intercollegic Athletics for Women [AIAW], which the UNCA women’s tennis team played under last year, re quired a player to make normal progress and be a full time student. Since the AIAW folded last year, the UNCA women’s tennis team is now in the NAIA. The NAIA, however, requires that a player pass at least 24 semester hours within the last two semesters and be a full time student. Hamilton is three hours short of meeting the 24 semester hours re quirement. When asked why she did not meet the requirements Hamilton said, “It was due to poor advising on the part of my past advisor.” In the fall of 1981, Hamilton’s advisor helped her sign up for a French class that met five times a week and an English class that met three times a week. The only problem was that the classes met at the same time. Social Security pays Hamilton’s tuition, as long as she is a full time student. If Hamilton dropped either the English or the French class, she would have become a part time stu dent. Hamilton said, “I was put in a no win situation.” She stayed enrolled in both classes to meet the Social Security require ment, but received an incomplete in French as a result. Now she is three hours short of meeting the NAIA’s requirement of passing 24 semester hours in the past two semesters. Hamilton, who is very aggravated about her “no win situation,” has changed advisors. She says, “I think it is the job of the student to make sure that he is fulfilling the re quirements to acquire a degree at UNCA. I also think it is the respon sibility of the advisor to help the student schedule his classes, and it is my personal opinion that a stu dent should never be put in this situation because of an advisor’s in competence.” When Coach Sams was asked about the team’s matches, he said, “You don’t want to know.” Sams said, however, he believed if either Haynes or Hamilton had played, they might have had “a good shot at beating Mars Hill.” Hamilton will be eligible to play in the spring and the team will also add two volleyball players, Bonnie Hipps and Joan Sterk to the roster. Sams said the team is young, but the future looks better with the addi tions forthcoming later in the season. However, for the time be ing, with two of their top three players nowhere in sight. Lady Bulldog tennis has a path to tread that is certainly uphill. By Carol Whitener On Sept. 21, UNCA women’s volleyball winning streak was broken, but not because the fans were not behind their team. , The volleyball team lost their match against East Tennessee State University. In the first game ETSU beat UNCA 15 - 4. During the second game the fans started beating the bleachers, chan ting cheers, and supporting their Bulldog team 100 percent. The Bulldogs won the second game 15 - 1, but ETSU won the match with a 15 - 5 victory in the third game. The volleyball team also lost to Lenoir Rhyne in two 15-7 games. Coach Myra Sims said, “Our key players did not have the outing^ they usually do and the rest of the team didn’t make up the slack.” Sims also said, “The defense was not enough at the net and the first pass was not accurate on the of fense.” Sims feels the team was certainly capable of beating both opponents. She said, “Maybe the team was just a little overconfident.” Sims said, “The support is real good.” She liked the yeUing and noise because it created enthusiasm and intensity. Sims also said, “I hope the students, faculty and staff who are supporting us will continue. The turn out is great.” sureR Wper cou^^ 372 Merrimon Ave. jAsheville, NC 28803 Buy whole no. 13 sub Get one no. 13 FREE Salami, cheese, pepperoni, and ham I I 252-9072 I I I Coupon expires 10-16-82 Coupon good at this location only I - - i * 5UUU at I
