Skateboarding, evolving originally from surfboarding, has made a remark able comeback. It left in the mid-sixties with the mini skirt and has hit the cur rent scene once again with vigor. The earth skiiers can be spotted all over cam pus. The number of male and female surfers on the pavement of waves is estimated from ten to twenty million. What was the cause for the astonish ing revival? New wheels started the appeal. Frank Nasworthy, a twenty-one year old Virginia student, came up with the idea of using urethane wheels that are softer and more maneuverable. In the sixties, almost everytime the old clay wheels hit a pebble - instant wipe out. Too many of these wipeouts were crash landing in hospitals with con cussions and broken whatevers. The new form of crystalline compound wheel has decreased the number of ac cidents. Thanks to Nasworthy and his wheel to wheel resuscitation, the skate board has been brought back to life. Regardless of the risk of bumps and bruises, skateboarding has several good factors; It developes coordination, flexibility, and balance. It helps build confidence. If you want to be good at it, you have to trust yourself. Besides all that - it’s relatively new, fun, and contains no set rules. You’re free to express yourself anyway you want. Pat Patterson, a skateboard authority who was recently injured trying to break the 54 m.p.h. skateboard record, sells skateboards from his private collection. The most popular nation wide brands are Sims, Logan, Sana Barbara, and Gor don Smith. A good skateboard, includ ing wheels and trucks, can cost up to $75.00. States Patterson "I feel skate boarding, like all sports, is a means of communication. It brings people to gether to have fun.” Patterson is a part time student at Mars Hill and lives on Bruce road. Some skateboard fans claim their sport will hit the Olympics within ten years. Already major skateboard manu factures are sponsoring teams through out the country. Whether this sport rolls into the Olympics or not, it is definitely attracting attention everywhere. Students Offer Special Interest Courses In Elementary Schools By Bonnie Shaw It is always good to see students taking an interest in the community and becom ing involved in activities associated with the public schools. This is exactly what Jill Mannisto’s PDS class has done. Many of the students who enrolled in this class had never experienced the non- traditional techniques that were to be used to teach them a better understand ing of themselves and of others: theirs was to be an “active” experience dealing directly with the community. Since many of the students expressed an in terest in working with kids, a directory was compiled which listed each student and the areas in which he could offer help to the school children. These direc tories were given to public school teachers, who signed up to get assis tance from one of these college students. The sixteen PDS class students in volved in this project were: Bryan Stewart and Donna Blacke, who worked with the third graders on a Thanksgiv ing production: Rhonda Mace, Kathy Blossfield, Glor*ia Byrd, Joyce Brooks, Bill Fender and Audrey Wilson, who worked with students at Mars Hill Elementary and Laurel Elementary schools; Mark Moore, Russ White, Beverly Benson, Danny Billings, Debbie Pruitt, Mike Corbin, Karen Johnson, Suzanne Powell, Mickie Hoffman, Bon nie Burbank, Connie Walpole, and Cathy McCall, who worked on special interest classes for eight graders on Wednesday afternoons. Three of these students, Karen Johnson, Mike Corbin, and Connie Walpole were not students in the PDS class, but they were willing to devote their time and energy to help out. Also, Barbara Collins assisted the secretary at Mars Hill Elementary. Some of the areas in which the MH stu dents offered to help out were: drama, dance, art, chess, embroidery, advertis ing, and sports and games. Personal grooming was another of the Special Interest sessions. Connie Walpole worked with a group of eight grade girls in areas of personal appearance, groom ing, and individuality. The students responded very well to these sessions on skin care and make-up application. All of the college students who parti cipated in this active learning experi ence received valuable insight into other people as well as help in determining their own interests and capabilities. The kids involved responded very well to the program. Many of them found it both interesting and fun, and many seemed to learn a lot. However, the level of interest ranged from a desire to learn to simply a change from the routine of regular classes.
