Coach, Lane Hurley MANAGER: Mark Conrath Wrestlers Have Small Numbers, High Spirits (Basketball pictures courtesy of Joe Campbell) Every evening, the UNC-C grap- plers spend one to two hours dril ling at Derita Jr. Hi. All three of them. Undiscouraged, Coach Paul Fleming works his team. 15minu tes of running, and then drills. His team has yet to get in any actual wrestling, for two reasons. New Look 49’ers Open Season (CONTINUI'’,n FROM PAGE 1) appear most ready to help the Forty-Niner cause. Gary, al though only a Freshman, is giving the Forty-Niners floor leader ship which they have sorely lacked for the past two seasons. At 6’ 2” and 180 pounds, he has good size for a guard. Dona hue, another 6’2” Freshman, is the sixth Forty-Niner starter. Coach Murphy lists Bob Lem- mond, Jerry Anthony, Robbie Snipes, Pete Donahue and Gary Cress as probable starters but is quick to add that “This means that Ben Basinger is more val uable as a substitute because of his versatility. Presently, he can help us more this way. He is as capable as some of our star ters. We have six starters.” Eddie Sherrill is a young gen tleman who, to the delight of Coach Murphy, is beginning to challenge this cozy little setup. He is a Freshman who might be ready to play before anti cipated. Another Freshman, Mack Safrit, does some things very well and will play some. Mack was Mount Pleasant High School’s leading scorer during the 1966-67 season. Remaining UNC-C players are vastly in experienced and need a lot of seasoning before being ready to play. “Guilford is not exactly the team for anyone who is weak of heart and courage to tangle with,” according to Coach Mur phy. This is also the consensus of the coaches of the Carolinas Conference. Guilford is the pre season favorite to win the con ference championship. One big reason is 6’ 8”, 235 pound Bob Kauffman. The Senior NAIA Sec ond Team All-American choice scored 25.7 points per game and garnered 16.3 rebounds per game for the District 26 NAIA champgs. As if that is not enough, Mr. Kauffman has help from the likes of Pat Moriarty at 6’6” and Ed Fellers at 6’5” at the forward spots. The 200 pound Moriarty averaged 14.4 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. Fellers, playing at guard last year for the first time, averaged 14.0 points and 6.0 rebounds pergame. Fellers made the move to guard and has returned to forward as a replacement for the injured Leon Young, who is out for the season because of a back injury. Two high scoring junior college transfers round out the starting five. The Quakers are also blessed with good deiJth on the bench. They won 27 while losing 6 during the 1966-67 season. The meat of that team returns and Guilford will be favored over a young, hustling, inexperienced but eager Forty-Niner team at Park Center on Tuesday night. It should be a very interesting evening.

RESERVATIONS: 33S-3414 PART TIME A Subsidiary Of Akoa Has Openings Woricing 3 Evenings & Saturday Phone Mr. Cable 537-9099 Between 7:30-10 a. m. their small number, and their lack of mats. Their work is con fined to several tumbling mats which have been pushed together. According to Coach Fleming, this has it benefits. “The only way to get perfect is to drill. We would probably neglect this a great deal if we were working under ideal circumstances.” Despite its problems, the team has its bright spots. Mike Ander son, a freshman who wrestled in high school, and was undefeated his senior year will probably wrestle at the 145-lb. weight class. Terry Eudy, a sophomore who wrestled in high school, will most likely fill the 152-lb. slot. David Sells, who has no experience, but could develop into a “good wrestler”, is working for the 177-lb. class. The team is .voung, and has ex perience. They need wrestlers to fill the 123-lb., 130-lbs., 160-lbs., 167-lbs., and unlimited weight classes. But even without these, the team is not discouraged. Conference Innovations (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) conference participants. Other suggested innovations that are relevant to the Charlotte cam pus are the following: an efficient method of course evaluation by the students, the rotation of de partment chairmen (as is presently done at S. C. State College), the inclusion of at least one student on every faculty committee, a weekly radio program sponsored by the University to lucidate the image and goals of the Univer sity to the community, the hand ling of academic violations by those wrong (i.e., the students), freshman seminars to relate the various courses taken by first- year students, inter-university co operation (as in the Atlanta Col lege Complex), and a system to advance overall intellectualism in which students live and eat with the same people who are their class mates (as demonstrated at the University of Michigan). Other topics of discussion in cluded the fact that too many college professors are more con cerned about the function of in creasing Imowledge than they are about transmitting knowledge. There seems to be an undue stress on research and publishing mat erial among “educators”. The causes of this situation are in volved with the facts that pro motion and salaries are often based on whether or not and how many times a professor’s works have been published. The students and faculty mem bers at the conference were con cerned with the existing gulf be tween students and teachers. The group felt that there is a need for more informal gatherings of stu dents with faculty members. The solution, they felt, lies in the changing of the attitude among instructors that students can be looked at only as inferiors. A statement of request for fol low-up assistance is due by De cember 10. If funds are avail able, one of the programs des cribed may be instituted during the spring semester.
