Softball team a hit
By Edwin Horsley
Samuel E. Vaughn is the head coach of North Carolina Central’s varsity women’s softball
team. A native of Henderson, N. C., Vaughn received both his undergraduate and master’s
degrees at NCCU.
When asked whether or not it is difficult to coach women, Vaughn commented, “Athletes are
athletes from a coaching point of view. I don’t distinguish between males and females when
I’m coaching. ’’
The team is currently 4-6 overall, and 4-1 in conference play. “The ladies have improved a
great deal as the season has progressed. I think we have a great team. ’’
“Attitude, is a large part of any team’s success. This year’s team shows the winning type of
attitude necessary to win, says Coach Vaughn, ...fortunately. Central has brought in good
student-athletes. They seem to be mature and that’s good because I want to field the best
team possible. I don’t always come up with the best combination of players, I make mistakes
too. ’’
Coach Vaughn adds'that, “Support for this year’s team has been tremendous.’’
Continued Vaughn, “When I took over we had nothing. Now we have uniforms for our
players, bats, balls, and the likS^. Transportation is also readily available to us when we need
it. ’’
. Coach Vaughn encourages women who may want to play next season to come see him. “The
more players that we have to choose from, the better team that we can field. ’’
The 1980 Gold Bowl IV
souvenir program stated,
“We (the Executive Board of
Richmond Gold Bowl Spon
sors) believe that one way
to preserve our schools is to
provide them exposure such
as the Gold Bowl provides.”
Yet on Saturday, April 4, the
Central Intercollegiate
Athletic Association Com
missioner Bob Moorman an
nounced that the Gold Bowl
game is being dropped!
The Gold Bowl, played the
last four years in Richmond,
Va., was supposed to
feature the CIAA champion
against the Mid-Eastern
Athletic Conference’s title
holder. But, according to
Moorman, the champions
often played in the NAIA or
NCAA Division 11 tour
naments instead because
By staff and wire service reports
the Gold Bowl was the 12th
game of the season and
thus kept its participants
out of any other post-season
action. As a result, second
place teams occasionally
ended up in Richmond.
Moorman said that, begin
ning this season, all 12
schools in the CIAA that
field football teams will play
a 10-game schedule.. The
conference title between the
Northern and Southern divi
sion champions will count as
the 11th game, after which
the contestants can still
move into post-season
games.
Instead of the Gold Bowl
there will be a conference
game between the two CIAA
division champions. The title
game will be held on
November 21 in Charlotte.
The ClAA’s Nothern Divi
sion members are Virginia
Union, St. Paul’s, Norfolk
State, Hampton Institute,
Elizabeth City State and
Bowie State.
The five Southern division
teams that field football
squads are Winston-Salem
State, North Carolina Cen
tral, Fayetteville State,
Johnson C. Smith, and Liv
ingston: St. Augustine and
Shaw don’t play football.
The North Carolina Cen
tral Eagles, returning to the
CIAA conference after being
in the MEAC since 1971,
came in first place in the
CIAA conference this past
year. The Eagles tallied a
7-0-0 record in the con
ference and a 7-5-0 record
overall.
The 7-0-0 record enabled
the Eagles to go to the Gold
Bowl against the North
Carolina A&T State Universi
ty Aggies.
The Eagles had a good of
fensive game as Carl
Sanders had a career high
114 catches for 1,960
yards. Roscoe Burnette had
660 yards in 145 carries.
Burnette along with Michael
Worthy and Benjamin Tate
tallied 1,597 of the 1,719'
yards accumalated by the
Eagles’ rushing unit.
The Eagles have 15
starters returning and four
top newcomers in quarter
back Danny Smith from
Durham, quarterback
Gerald Bridgers from Tar-
boro, runningback Clifton
Kersey from Clarksville, Va.,
and guard Zonta Laney.

YOU’RE
EQUAL IN
THE AIR

footing as men in Air Force
ROTC, Women wear the same insignia and hold the same
cadet positions in AFROTC. just as they do later on as Air
Force officers.
And the same AFROTC scholarship can be yours as a
woman. If you qualify, you can have your tuition, book costs
and lab fees paid by the Air Force, and receive $100 a month
for other expenses. It helps free you to concentrate on your
education. And that’s important.
As an Air Force officer, you'll be expected to use your train
ing and education, and be a leader managing people and
complex systems. You'll be handed executive responsibility
starting with your first job.
It's a great way to be equal, and a great way to serve your
country. Check into the AFROTC program at your campus.
Be sure to ask about AFROTC scholarships you may be
helping yourself earn an exciting new lifestyle.

The Late Gardener's Lament
(For L from T)
January-it's the middle of
winter.
February-damn old ground just
won’t splinter
And March just marched
And April ran.
And May just may go the same
way.
So I ask you love,
“What’s so fair as a Night in June
for planting our peas
by the light of the moon.”
P:
Just remember what Duke
Wayne said: “it’s not gun control
that kills students; it’s late term
papers."

We all have our addictions, our
blankets to hide in but we must
not let our blankets smother us.
Come out, Doris; the weather's
fine.

To the lady in the cafe,
It wasn’t fair of you to blame
one student for a condition that
was brought on by many
students. If you are going to
single out one person, single out
everyone that comes to the con
veyor belt: I’m just as mad as you
are for not having a tray to have
my plate on when I eat.
