PAGE 4 — THE DECREE — APRIL 3,1987 Tennis team asks support of Wesleyan By MELVIN BARNES Derek Francis, ranked number three out of the top six players on North Carolina Wesleyan's tennis team, disclosed an interesting fact of the tennis program: "The team is hurting for support." Francis said "The lack of fi nances, changes in coaching staff, limited facilities, and poor em phasis, along with a lack of support from the college in relation to the other men's sports such as basketball and baseball, has hind ered recruiting other athletes to this program." Kevin Doddridge, a transfer student from Coastal Carolina Community College Jack sonville, North Carolina, ranked number five on the squad said, "We're living on the shoe strings compared to the program I come from." Mr. Randy Wheeless, the tennis coach and Sports Information Di rector of Wesleyan, agreed with Derek's remarks and said, "having four coaches consecutively for the last four years has hurt the recruiting program, but there is potential in the team's future. With four returning players, the team's attitude is real good." Coach Wheeless also noted that the schedule for this year's season is in line with Wesleyan's program. Wesleyan has dropped various teams out of the this year’s sche dule, thus making them a con tender in this year's conference standing. "UNC-Greensboro, Averr ett, and Virginia Wesleyan seem to have the strongest program this year," Wheeless said. According to Coach Wheeless, "Barry Nethercutt, a senior from Roanoke Rapids, is a solid all- around player. His consistency is a plus. Tom Rivers, a junior from Emporia, VA., is a solid player and tough under pressure. Francis, a senior from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, has a winning attitude with a nice touch for the game. Mclver Garrison, a junior from Rocky Mount also has a winning attitude with a tough determi nation toward improving his game. Doddridge, a transfer student from Jacksonville, has a good potential and a big serve. Mike Trubey, a junior from Cary, has one of the best serves on the team." These qualities along with hard prac ticing and good coaching will give the team a chance in the con ference. The Bishops are 3-4 this spring and 1-1 in the conference. "You can learn from losing" said Coach Wheeless. "In order to become a contender in tennis there is a need to practice hard everyday, work on your weak points, and then match up against a better player to improve on what he or she has already perfected." m Sharing risks urged TAKING A SWING AT IT — Bishop Barry Nether cutt hits a backhand return during last week's defeat by UNC-Greensboro. Intramural games finish basketball The long and grueling Intra mural basketball season came to an explosive finale March 23 as the Edgecombe girls came from be hind to defeat the North girls by a score of 32-24. Edgecombe was led by Dana By run, who totaled 10 points for the game. Sharon Fitzpatrick led the North with 10 points. On the same night, the mens teams of Sigma Pi and the Home- boys jumped it up for the Mens Intramural Basketball Champion ship. The game was nip and tuck until about the 10-minute mark in the second half, when the red hot shooting Rick Alford (15 points for the night) went down with a turned ankle, and the Homeboys pulled away behind the great per formances of Troy Butler (28 points) and Kenny Ball (24) to win, 71-55. Troy Butler was chosen as Most Valuable'Player of the tournament for the men and Wendy Elks was ' chosen Most Valuable Player for the girls. The Mens All-Tournament team was also picked by the coaches. On the first team were Troy Butler, Homeboys; David Ferrell, Sigma Pi; Derek Edwards, Home boys; Shea Walker, Busy; and Ken ny Ball, Homeboys. On the second team were Brian Goggins, Sigma Pi; Tim Walker, Busy; Darell Smalls, Homeboys; 'Troy Jordan, Buisy; Rick Alford, Sigmi Pi; and Kenny Anderson, Ghetto Blasters. Equality on job developing (Continued from Page 1) is rampant with women receiving: only 60 cents for every dollar men receive. A black female college graduate is paid less than a white male with an eighth grade education doing the same job. "The home is still considered the woman's domain. Work has always been considered the man's domain," Craven said. However, by 2000 there will be more opportunities for women to enter the work force. In the United States, there will be more people leaving the work force than ent ering because many people from the baby-boomers generation will be retiring. Although automation will take (Continued from Page 1) the time the committees met, the managers passed the "buck" to their asssistants, the idea is either obsolete, or someone, a smaller company, has introduced the pro duct or service first. He explained that IBM and the Apple Company were two good examples. The Ap ple company can introduce more personal computers quicker than IBM . because the manager insu lation is smaller. The government passed a law prohibiting the sale of phosphate deteregents to help clean up the Camps in Europe need volunteers More than 200 young Ameri cans are expected to volunteer for international work camps in East ern and Western Europe this summer. Though little known on the U.S., international work camps for more than 30 years have brought together thousands of young people from around the world each year to work on such projects as res toring castles, excavating ancient sites, or agricultural programs. Run by the Council on Interna tional Educational Exchange, the camps last 2-4 weeks and provide free room and board to volunteers, who must be at least 18 years old. Beyond airfare, the only cost is a $100 program fee.

Products like Tide or Fab, which use the phosphate to get your clothee cleaner,, either have to give up some of the effectiveness the phosphate gives or find a substitute to do the same thing. Ironically, he explained, phosphate detergents m^e up only five percent of the phosphate in the water. The major source is waste sewage. In closing his speech, Mozingo suggested that we need leaders, not managers. "People don't want to be managed, they want to be led. If you want to manage something, manage yourself," he said. "And if you do that well, you'll be able to stop managing and start leading." During the questioning session that followed, Mozingo was asked what Food Lion does to promote entreprenuership. Mozingo respon ded, "We offer profit sharing and each employee over the age of 18 can purchase company stock." He also encouraged obtaining a liberal arts degree rather than one in a specialized field. Growth foreseen (Continued from Page 1) har tended to speak in phrases rather than sentences. That was not so with Wednes day's guest speaker, Mike Mozingo of Food Lion. He spoke well and also threw in humor to spice up his somewhat dazed audence. "All in all, the speakers were excellent in presenting their given topics," said a commuter who went to both keynote addresses. over some jobs, U.S. employers will be looking for employees. There will also be an increase in profes sionals and sales people operating out of the home, which will help women to enter the work force. Craven said. Consequently, she noted, be cause men and women will both be taking breaks in their careers and there will be more women in the work force in 2000, men and women will be seen more equally in the workplace. When asked how discrimina tion could be prevented, ^ Craven replied the first step is to under stand that women are discrimin ated against and then to under stand why. "The best tool is know ledge," she said. Pre-Registration tips for students L Make appointments with advisor. 2.
