, p LAND development (Continued) ( Freak Predictions | ^ --Et BY JIMMY THE FREER As winter breaks and spring peers around the comer, oozing the odoriferous blooming azaleas and peeps of the little birdies, one is reminded of oncoming Baccanalia, skipping^ classes to catch a few rays and intramural basketball. Raised eyebrows! Accusations of failure to write a good sports column or even a good sentence!! Yes, yes, I’ve heard it all before and let me assure you that intramural basketball is one of the up and craning sports on the scene. Not really, it Justs sounds good; but, seriously, there are people ... Well, let’s just say its not entirely a joke. Last year, as most of us know, the Faculty and Staff team edged Off-campus for the A-League title, but those guys are over the hill and couldn’t beat a Geriotol squad, minus their Geritol. I give this year’s title to Winston-Salem. They should field one respectable team and a second team run by an irate Italian, who figures to do Rocky one better and come, out on top. Granville should challenge, but the smoke’s too thick boys. Off-campus is third rate and Meek should be so lucky. As for. Faculty and Staff, you look like you could use some Gatorade, have a seat, rest your hands And faces, and forget it, guys. In B-League, Ah, yes! in B-League, are the trophy-mongers of W-S going to be back? Let us hope not. Barring such events, it should be the regular jumble of semi-comie teams. But, face it that’s the beauty of intramural basketball. Elsewhere in the sports world, a flash, winter has not yet broken, as evidenced by the snow on the ground. And on the wintrous wonderland front was lots and lots of snowballing. On the artistic side were several semi-naturalistic snow sculptures reported in the vicinities of Wilmington and Granville. A stunt, donut-in-the-snow competition was held in front of W- S, but ended as two of the competitors became lodged in the quagmire. And in a minor clash, those who were stupid enough to walk out the front of the cafe were pelted by those who were waiting for them. Until next week, when we discuss the merits of Zen and the art of cafe observation or the philosophical discourse of the Knight Room attendant, I bid you adeiu. Jimmy the Freek Crete stage of plannig nor construction. “In terms of realty some of it” (the plan) “was really blue sky; we don’t know whether you can afford to do it the way it is there” (on the master plan) “but it is our intention to try,” Frye said. “I suspect that”, he stated, “when we start additional work” (on that property) “the first thing we will address ourselves to would be some of the multi-family dwelUngs”. These would be located bet ween the shopping center and the golf driving range. Frye stated that when they began to plan the apartments they “would want a lot of input from students ith respect to their housig needs”. He feels that when some stage of the development is about to take place “we ought to be very open about it and seek input at that point”. Frye cited the econmic importance of the develop ment to the college. “It’s what we term a landed en dowment,” he said. Presentiy the rental income from the land of the shopping center is The prsent return is com parable to the cnome on about $400,000 cash investment of endowment, he pointed out. “I think thepotential for the college is like anendowment of somewhere between 5-10 jillion dollars in the-near-term once we get it developed”, said Frye, who as Vice President for Development has been thechief staff officer, along with the Business Manager, in working with the Board of Trustees’ land Use committee on the land development. Any development now planned for the tract wouldnot encorach beyondf the tree Une that’s there now (across from the track by the golf driving range), Frye noted. “I think if done right so it will not encroachupon the campus, like we have tried to do, then it should enhance o^rtuniti^for ^^i^nts I Diment Resignation | I As you are all no doubt well aware, Ron Diment, Assistant I I Dean for Residential Life, has resigned from his position. Jerry | I Surface has been appointed to the position as Acting Assistant | I Dean for Residential Life. | ! Jerry needs our help and understanding. That he means well . land wants honest open communication with us has been j I exhibited by “The Informer.” In an informal and highly I effective way, he managed to calm campus fears and panic- I ridden rumors. I We on the staff feel that “The Informer” was a good [example of open communication. We welcome Jerry Surface to ■his new position, and wish him all the luck. Let’s see another ■ms new posiuuil, aiiu wi&n imii cm uic im.iv. o OCT? - Lady Knights, Take A Bow iMonnerina^ J By Vivian Bikuiege Seeded sixth out of thirteen eligible teams in the con ference, The St. An'’"ews Women’s Basketball leam will travel this weekend to Rocky Mount, N.C. for the N.C.A.I.A.W. Basketball tournament. Upon arriving, the first challenger they will meet are the women from Bennett College in Green sboro. If they succeed at defeating Bennett, they will then meet the winner of the Methodist vs. A.C.C. game. In the last three games of this season (the Meredith game being cancelled due to weather), SA has won one hontini? Methodist 57-51 and losing both to St. Augustine’s 86-46 and Atlantic Christian CoUge 77-62. Coach David Myers feels that SA has had a good reasons especially con sidering the fact that the team is young, consisting mainly of freshmen and sophomores, and that the experience of roaa tnips nas taught them a lot and should benefit them in the future seasons. The teams record will end with six wins and eight losses. It was hoped that a .500 season would be the result of hard work but the team can be proud of their efforts and letting SA fans see some winning women’s basketball. On an individual basis. Seal Armstrong and Slick Robbins, the Laurinburg Duo, produced fine results. Seal averaged 27 points a game and was heavily relied upon while Slick proved an im pressive point guard and leader. Most improved players in Myer^ opinion were Joannie Miller and Warra Foster. Foster was also essential as was Harriet Howard in being veteran leaders with good direction Paula Boykin also saw good scoring action despite any handicaps she may suffer due to height. Also a pleasant surprise was Mamie Mae- Duffee as she often was a contributable factor on the Basketball Season BY CHRIS STRONG The basketball squad received a good dose of their own medicine, last Saturday night from visiting North Carolina Weleyan. The Bishops scored seven more points from the free line, in cluding nine straight down the stretch, to down St. Anrews, 73-62. Witt the loss, the Knights ended their season just under .500, at 12-13. Alan Salzano and Dick Gilbert lead the team with 12 scoreboard. Mary Lynn Manley was a good help as was the experience of Joanna Boxman and Charlemagne Clifford. All in all, it was a good year in women’s basketball. With the hopes of recruiting a good and tall center, Coach Myers hopes to see bigger and better things from the team. If the momentum keeps up, Myers may get his wish. apiece. Jackie Amos also hit double figures with 10 points. In the first half, the two teams played a momentum game, as the lead changed hands numerous times. Andy Jones tied the contest with four seconds remaining in the period at 33. As the second period opened, NCW steadily built aneight point lead. The Knights whittled at that margin for eight minutes and finally tied when Wayne Malone passed to Jackie Amos in the lane. Amos’ layup knotted the game at 60. The Bishops then scored nine strai^t from the three free throw line to ice the contest, glidinjg to a 73^2. win. Senior Butch Keller added nine points in his final effort on Harris Courts. Yet, his presence reached further than the scoring column, as Butch exhibited some quick hands and a cool head on the defensive end of the court. (Continued in Next Column) $30,000 a year, and Frye noted that that return would keep pace with any expansion of the square footage of the center (which they expect to be tripled in size). both in the housing and from a commercial standpoint”, he said, andpointedout the ease and convenience that Holly Square offers to those who need what it offers. “I think the proximity of those opportunitis will be good for the whole college com munity as long as we maintain the aesthetic quality of the situation. . .and I think so far we’ve succeeded in that,” Frye remarked. He said that the Board has reserved about 300 acres of land in the heart of his 800- acre tract and that the development of the land surrounding this will take place slowly and grdually. He conceded that “it would turn some of those who really want isolation back to the back side of the campus where we still have that land”., But he felt the tradeoffs involved should be weighed, including the obvious advatnages to students that would be gained by it and the real advatnage to the college from an economical standpoint. “I believe”, Frye remarked, “that to maintain a 250-acre tract of land in forest andpine trees out there is really, in this day and age, a luxury that we simply cannot afford”. He believes the proposed development would not pose a greater security problem for the campus tand that “it might help improve” securityon campus by having people living in that area instead of having a vast tract of woodland there. At about the same time that the land development was begun the college began to manage the woodlands on campus through planned thinning of pine trees which was sold for pulpwood. Frye said that this has produced probably over $30,000 so far, and that the land will con tinued to be thinned. About 2 years ago Uie college sold 10 acres of land and easements on 5 well sites to the City of Laurinburg to expand its water-treatment system and this construction is almost completed in the Johns Road comer of the coUge property.
