Roundballers Wind Up Season
With 5‘6 Overall Record

The UNC—C 49’er basketball
team wound up their season last
week with two home victories and
two road defeats in four consecu
tive nights. All four games were
against conference and a 5-16
mark overall. The team has been
hitting the courts with a new of
fensive alignment and a spirit
of determination seldom exhibi
ted by a team with so far to go.
Nevertheless, the boys had some
rough breaks last week and found
the road trips a little more labori
ous than usual.
Ben Basinger, Gary Cress, and
Pete Donahue have gained con
sistency of late to join Jerry
Anthony, Bob Lemmond, and Rob
bie Snipes as mature ball hand
lers, shooters, and rebounders.
Anthony was third in conference
in scoring last week has fit into
the guard position and added a
flair to the team with his ball
handling feats and numerous
assists to Donahue, who has really
come into his own lately.
The squad opens in the D.I.A.C.
Tournament next Thursday against
Lynchburg, North Carolina Metho
dist, or St. Andrews on St. An
drews’ home court in Lauringbur,
North Carolina. The pairings for
the tournament had not been de-
temined at the time of publica
tion. The 49’ers defeated both
Lynchburg and Methodist last week

but lost both games against St.
Andrews this year.
The team is fired up and the
boys really believe that they can
win the tournament if they play
their best. The team cannot, how
ever, play in the N.A.I.A. District
Tournament because the regular
season champion, in this case,
Greensboro College, always rep
resents the Dixie Conference in
post season play. However, the
team would like to take the tourna
ment trophy home as a preview
of next year, as Snipes is the
only graduating member of the
team.
The boys would play much more
relaxed if they could find some
friendly faces in the crowd next
Thursday. A car caravan will
leave the school Thursday. For
those who are constantly critici
zing the team, here’s your chance
to do something about it. They will
play better if some Charlotte fans
attend.
The Eta Omega Chapter
of Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity be
came an official chapter of the
national business fraternity at an
initiation and installation cere
mony and luncheon on February
11, which was attended by repre
sentatives from chapters at seve
ral colleges in North Carolina and
many other states.
Mr. William F. Weinheimer,
national president of Alpha Kappa
Psi, was present to deliver the
main address.
In giving some background in
formation on the growth of Alpha
Kappa Psi nationally, Weinheimer
stated that the fraternity had been
expanding at the rate of five to
six new chapters per year. He
added that the fraternity now has
144 fully active college chapters
and thirty-five alumni chapters.
Mr. Weinheimer attributed this
growth to the fact that the frater
nity has something to offer. “And
what we have to offer is a high
standard,’’ he continued.
Weinheimer, who was seated
next to Chancellor D. W. Colvard
at the head table, suggested to
students that if “you ever get
depressed about the future, go
and spend fifteen minutes in Dr.
Colvard’s office. . . His enthu
siasm is wonderful!’’
In his remarks. Chancellor Col
vard stated that he was person
ally very happy to see this fra
ternity organized on campus be
cause of the leadership opportunity
afforded by such organizations. He
indicated that he felt a great sense
of pride in seeing this chapter
develop on campus.
Dr. Colvard went on to say that
if there is any place where a
business program is meant to
develop, it is here. He feels that
the business climate in Charlotte,
plus the development of the Uni
versity Research Park and the
desire of this institution to move
into urban affairs are conducive
to a flourishing business program.
Toastmaster for the installation
program was Edwin J. Peulner,
Jr., mideast district chairman for
Virginia. He complimented the men
on the impressive petition which
they submittedtothe national board
and informed them that the petition
was passed unanimously.
Dr. Frank DeFelice, of the De
partment of Economics and Busi
ness Administration, commented
that he was pleased to see organi
zations of this type formed on
cam^s because they enable the
“individual to acquire certain
skills that he may not otherwise
learn without fraternities.’’ He
added that he felt this to be an
other step toward full University
status.
Speaking on behalf of all thirty-
four members of the fraternity,
David Herman, Eta Omega presi
dent, said, “This is indeed an
occasion the members have waited
for and will long remember.’’
