Sailg 3ar Ibel Need More Info on UNC Sports? A New WWW Homepage Has It BY JAY STONE STAFF WRITER Except in the turnover column, the UNC football team has looked good - on paper. Thanks to anew World Wide Web site, it now also looks good online. The recently opened site has made information about UNC’s fall sports only a click away for those browsing the Internet. Upon accessing the homepage of the system, the user is greeted with a scanned image ofthe 1993-94SeaisDirector’sCup, awarded to UNC for having the nation’s best overall athletic program. The homepage also provides text options in a variety of sports information categories. The online site was designed by Joe Bray, a University systems analyst. Bray worked on the project in his spare time over the course of a few weekends. He said the idea came to him after looking at sev eral online athletic information services provided by other colleges. “So many schools are out on the Web, ” Bray said. “Athletically, we are arguably one of the two best schools in the country, and sports lend themselves well to the Web. Basically, what you’re trying to do with a project like this is to put your media guides online.” UNC joins N.C. State and Duke as ACC schools with Internet sites. Once at the new site, the user can select from information on varsity teams, sched ules, directions to facilities, sports admin istration, sports information, the ticket of fice and academic support. If the varsity teams option is chosen, a graphic of the team picture appears on screen. Here, the user can access the team roster, biographical information about the coach and the history of the sport at UNC. For example, did you know that in ad dition to coaching UNC woman’s soccer to 13 national titles, Anson Dorrance has lived in Ethiopia, Kenya, Singapore, Bel gium and Switzerland? Or that Charlie “Choo-Choo” Justice is the only player in NCAA history to have been runner-up for the Heisman twice without winning it? If people need directions to the Smith Center, they can click on “Directions to Facilities.” This provides detailed instruc- Calvin and Hobbes WHOT DJEWOUE CAM GET A FUU.

Throughout the system, the user will see pictures relevant to the information they are seeking. There are also several pictures of campus landmarks such as the Old Well and the Bell Tower. “It’s still in its infancy right now, but I expect it to keep growing over time, ” Bray said. “Right now, the information is being updated daily by Chris Schieter, who is a programmer for the athletic department.” The user can also find out scores and other late-breaking sports news when ac cessing the site.

MC. UNC One Cani M-F. 9a-Sp -whenever classes are In session— For PC Sports World, Becker Needs Speedos I normally stay out of political discus sions, because they have nothing to do with sports. As sports journalists, we must concentrate on more important top ics, such as Tony Gwynn’s batting average vs. lefties with two out, a runner shorter than 5’ 10” on third, the moon in its fourth phase and a guy in the bleachers who’s had 18 too many. (It’s .322, by the way.) But I recently witnessed an unholy trans gression. Sports commentary, normally re served for large bar patrons named Fred and sports writers, was attempted by a writer not affiliated with the sports staff, whose anonymity I will protect by not saying his name is Andy Diamondstein. Sports reporting can be mishandled by the untrained, causing readers to choke on beer nuts when encountering incomplete facts. So, I feel obligated to clarify a few issues brought up in his discussion of two time-tested sports topics: political correct ness and women’s tennis in bathing suits. The first question is “What does PC have to do with sports?” Keep in mind, though, that people who would ask that question probably hold baseball bats the wrong way. True sports fens, who properly wield bats AND remember to cork them, know the dangers of political correctness. It’s obvious: Political correctness aims to destroy Monday Night Football. Sports fans picked up on this like Jerry Jones picked up on a Pepsi contract. Asa society, we must prevent Monday Night Football from becoming Monday Night’s Three Hours ofEmotional Sharing. Consider this fictional but potentially horrific scenario: DAN DEERDORF: Wow, Marino is standing on the sidelines with what looks to be a Chronic-Depressive Syndrome in its early stages.... AL MICHAELS: Well, theNinershave it no w at the Dolphin Rational Discussion Line, looking to put it into the Conflict Resolved Zone after the turnover.... FRANK GIFFORD: Lemme tell ya, Marino better get on the phone to his Emotional Coordinator, Dr. Joyce Broth ers, before hegetsback out there and causes more Pent-Up Hostility among these Mi ami Dolphins. I, for one, will never accept A1 Michaels ’ commentary on Inner Questioning plagu ing the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now that the evils of political correct ness have been clarified, I must tackle my next topic (or at least take out its knees).

As far as I’m concerned, if you’re wear ing Speedos, you better be a 200-meter butterfly specialist or a 45-year-old, 245- pound ex-mafia don on the Jersey shore. Steffi Graf and Monica Seles in two-pieces might attract some revenue, but not nearly enough to compensate for Boris Becker sporting just Speedos and Nikes. Brrnr. So sports fans rest easy, knowing that your concerns are indeed represented amid columns that fail to cover the whole issue. For columnists in general, I’ll admit it’s tough to leave sports alone; the subject matter is far too interesting. But one must realize that such in-depth, charged topics must be handled by a qualified sports jour nalist. And if they’re all busy, I’ll handle it. Fun Times, Safe Times or Just Sometimes.
