She turned a frisbee's limitations into fun by innovation. This Thursday at 3:30 p.m. in front of Silent Sam, GM will sponsor a Frisbee Golf Tournament. For golfers who get hung up on the hazards, this is the sport for you. And for frisbee players who are bored with just tossing the saucer, this is something new. Mary Ann said, "Maps will be given to girl caddies who will also keep score. The tour nament will involve hitting various trees, statues, signs which are found on campus. "The Golden Frisbee Award" will go to the low scorer. Bring your own frisbee" Mary Ann advised. That's all it will take for this event to get out of hand. Mary Ann put the event on the summer calendar because "we wanted something different." Competition is open to girls and guys. While people are toss ing the frisbee around, GM also plans to throw a watermelon feast. mi , m I, fc mi mi i iii ii'-rf WiS rrftn 11 mrnii n -KHMiiimrH ' UNC Gets Mi Cental The UNC Dental Research Center received a $3.5 million grant Friday.
