Volleyball Interest Growing
BALDWIN
The News Argus - December, 1976 - Page 7
Women’s Volleyball is
becoming a very popular sport
on Winston-Salem State
University campus.
In women’s play the net is
only seven feet four and one
quarter inches high. The six
players are designated as left
center, and right forwards and
left center, and right oacks - or
they maybe numbered from
one to six, starting with the
left forward. When it is a
team’s turn to serve, every
player rotates one position
clockwise and the right back
serves. The Rams know that
the objective of the game is to
keep the ball from striking the
floor on your side of the net
and to return it so that it
strikes the floor on your
opponent’s side so they cannot
return it. Nobody knows this
better than 6'1” Florence
Parker a freshman from
Winston-Salem.
An excellent spiker, Florene
was responsible for 60% of the
Rams points this year. “Flo”
as she is called by her
teammates received support
from several of the young
talented Rams, two freshmen,
Shelia Vanhooke and Brenda
Windfield.
Although it was a very
disappointing year for the
young team, Mrs. Marcelene
Scales, director of women’s
athletics and team supervisor,
foresees improving their 5-14
rec6rd next year as the more
experienced squad takes the
floor.

Intramural
Sports Program Set
A1 Roseboro, director of
Intramural Sports states that
the primary function of
intramural activities is to
promote, organize and admi
nister a broad program of
competitive and recreational
activities for the voluntary
participation of the Winston-
Salem State University stu
dents both men and women.
The intramural program
includes team, individual and
dual activities. This wide
variety enables students to
sample a sufficient number of
sports to discover the ones
they are really interested in
and capable of participating
in. Regular and wise participa
tion in these activities permits
the individual to acquire and
maintain muscular strength,
coordination, and endurance;
to become proficient in the
specific physical skills of a
number of recreational activi
ties which may be enjoyed
throughout life; to realize that
women can be skilled in
physical recreational sports; to
relieve the emotional and
nervous tensions developed in
other activities on campus; to
make many new and lasting
friends: to have the maturing
experience of becoming a
member of a team with the
responsibilities involved; to
take ‘‘the tough breaks” as
well as the good ones which go
along with winning or losing;
and most important, to have
fun.
This will be the best and
most economical opportunity
you will ever have to broaden
and improve your recreational
knowledge and skills. You are
invited and urged to make a
habit of participating in some
phase of the program. The
activity calendar for next
semester includes; basketball,
volleyball, softball, table
tennis and tennis. If anyone
would like to participate in any
of these sports, contact Mr. A1
Roseboro at 761-2108.

the church. I had been to the
altar and was saved. I tried to
tell the truth about my life in
this novel. My first novel was
a break through to myself.”
When confronted with the
questions ‘‘Who motivates
one to write and would you
endorse writing for the blacks
today?”, Mr. Baldwin stated
that people are sometimes
motivated to write because
they cannot do anything else.
He stated that he started
writing by the time he learned
to read. He expressed his
loneliness as a child and
stated that he was fascinated
by people. In a very firm voice
Baldwin replied. ‘‘Writing is
no way to make a living
however, on a professional
level, the market is more open
to black writers now than
when I was coming up.”
Baldwin stated that there was
definitely a danger in writing.
‘‘It is difficult to get a story
pass the editor’s desk and a
person will only become a
writer if he wants to.
In regard to black religion
as opposed to white, Baldwin
stated, ‘‘Religion has more to
do with social values than with
spiritual values. The black
church is a different structure
than the white. It is something
that is ours. It is something
that no white Christian can
imagine. Religion is a way of
life with a personal responsi
bility attached to it.”
Mr. Baldwin acknowledged
that he developed his style as
a writer without knowing it,
‘‘Your style is the way that
you look at the world. Trust
your vision, what you see and
what you feel.”
As Mr. Baldwin leaned
forward to put out his
cigarette, another question
was raised from the floor.
“What do you think is
fascinating about today’s
youth?” inquired one of his
fans. With a short giggle Mr.
Baldwin replied, "A tremen
dous horizon is stretched
before us. Youth has energy,
curiosity, innocence, and the
ability to do anything.”
When asked what his
philosophy of life was Baldwin
replied, ‘‘That is hard to state.
I feel that things that really
matter I learned because 1
loved someone and someone
loved me. Love carries you
from one day to the next. You
just can not make it alone.”
As the program ended,
James Baldwin recited one of
his poems. The crowd, once
again applauded as if to say,
‘‘A job well done!” With a
standing ovation the crowd
gathered around Baldwin for
autographs. Smiles of happi
ness could be seen on the
faces of the anxious crowd of
fans as they tried to touch the
hand of their unique and
talented idol.
This was indeed an hour to
cherish and a day that the
Rams will long remember!
