MIAMI, FL (CPS) - In the most
forceful volley in what has become a
war over who gets to govern college
women’s sports, the National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA) Conven
tion here decided to sponsor ten na
tional women's athletic championships
next year.
For the past ten years, women’s
sports have been directed by the
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
for Women (AIAW), which about a year
ago was looking forward to un
precedented prosperity in the afterglow
of new federal guidelines for women’s
sports.
The more-powerful NCAA’s move in
to women’s sports, however, now
threatens the AIAW’s existence. AIAW
President Donna Lopiano calls the
NCAA’s action ‘a power play, a blit
zkrieg." She doubts her organization
will survive it.
She says the NCAA’s inducements —
its less stringent recruiting rules and its
ability to pay the travel expenses of
teams that participate in champion
ships — can’t be matched by the AIAW,
and will probably draw most AIAW
members to the older NCAA.
NCAA Executive Assistant Steve
Morgan says the NCAA moved into
women's sports at the request of its
member schools.
At last year's convention the NCAA,
which has sponsored men’s athletic
competitions since 1906, decided to
organize championships in five
women’s sports. This year's vote ap
plies to all major sports.
"At the meetings over the last few
years it became apparent that it was
necessary for college administrators to
have the same rules for men and
women."Morgan explains. "To do this,
the NCAA had to sponsor women's com
petitions."
The NCAA's and AIAW’s different
rules were confusing for athletic direc-
'tors, he contends. He expects that with
"one set of rules" for both men'and
women's sports there will be no need
for schools to belong to the AIAW.
Lopiano, who is also women's athletic
director at the University of Texas-
Austin, says the NCAA's rules are
easier, not less confusing.
She predicts that if a school wants to
keep up with its competitiors, it will for
sake the AIAW for the NCAA's laxer
rules in order to recruit more ag
gressively.
Teams participating in AIAW events,
moreover, must pay their own way. The
NCAA, Lopiano points out provides fun
ding for teams' transportation, usually
out of television revenues. The AIAW
has had trouble attracting television
coverage.
Lopiano says she's more concerned
about the future of women's sports
under the aegis of the NCAA than she is
about the demise of her own organiza
tion.
"Everything that the AIAW has done
m terms of organizing women's sports
and instilling high principles into
events will be lost," she grieves. "At
AIAW, women were the focal point of
an entire system especially designed
for them. I doubt whether women's
athletics will be anything more than
minor sports in the NCAA."
Bids on Computer
Due This Month
By JENNIFER WICKER
Bids for a computer system designed
to help conserve campus energy will be
accepted February 19.
The new computer will keep constant
temperatures in all rooms on campus,
(minimum 65 in winter, 75 in summer)
which will eliminate problems of rooms
being either too hot or cold.
The cold weather, however, has not
caused any additional problems with
energy consumption this winter, ac
cording to Jack Hassell, superintendent
of buildings and grounds.

Basnight Shows Way
As Braves Nip Lenoir
By SCOTT GODWIN
Personnel changes have had little af
fect or outcome on the Chowan Braves
who won a key contest with Lenoir
Community College, 81-77.
The Braves have lost Robert Belle for
the season, along with Alonzo Clark,
and now Jesse Nimmo, the teams third
leading scorer, for a period of time due
to disciplinary reasons.
The victory over Lenoir upped the
Braves record to 16-4 and 4-0 in the con
ference, and marked the first overtime
victory of the season.
Both teams played with much intensi
ty, but the key to the victory was the
defense, which closed down Lenoir in
the overtime.
For Lenoir, Lonnie Willis proved to
be a formidable player with his fine
performance, which saw him score 27
points. Willis showed fine speed, and it
wasn't until Winfred Basnight was plac
ed on Willis did the Braves manage to
get untracked.
Chowan had the chance to win the
game before overtime, but a costly tur
nover ended the regulation. The Braves
came out for the overtime period with a
ferocious spurt of points, as Melvin Mc
Cray, Mark Moore and Basnight threw
in eight points in 45 seconds. McCray
scored on two followup baskets,
Basnight scored his on a breakaway
dunk, and Moore hit a 25 foot bomb.
I>enoir scored four points with Willis
getting both baskets, but Moore hit two
free throws and Basnight did the same
and the Braves held on for the win.
Basnight turned in a fine per
formance with 19 points along with l)e-
ing the Tarheel Conference Player of
the week. I-arry Canady had 15 points
with 10 rebounds. McCray had 13 points
and 11 hard fought rebounds. Moore
threw in 11 points.
The game which was fast-paced
showed just how fine Chowan’s running
game is. They seem to be a running
team that is less effective in a slow and
deliberate offense.
Braves End Holiday;
Wallop Duke Jayvees
By SCOTT GODWIN
After a long holiday season, which
saw coach Bob Burke's ranks idle for
over a month, Chowan came back and
exploded for a 71-52 win over a hapless
Duke JV squad that was short and
without good shooters.
In the first half, Burke let all the
players in his bench come into the
game, and 11 of the 12-man squad
managed to score. At the end of the
half, the Braves were on top 34-22, and
seemingly controlling the tempo of the
game.
This was the second meeting of the
year for both clubs, as Chowan beat
Duke earlier by 15 points.
The game was blown wide open when
Burke instructed his team to press
court, and the Braves scored on fast
breaks, follow up shots and steals.
With the Braves up 51-26, Burke pull
ed his regulars and in came Mark
Hunter, Mark Moore, Alonzo Clark,
Jimmy Deans and Ken Capel who did
fine jobs in a businesslike fashion, as
the game was not very intense, pro
bably because of the long layoff.
For Chowan, I-arry Canady, Winfred
Basnight and Jesse Nimmo shared
scoring honors with 14 points apiece.
The Braves shot 59 percent at the free
throw line (13-22), but managed a
dismal 36 percent from the field (29-79).
