Sweet Carolines: they're
by Dede Biles
DTH Contributor
At the University of Florida, they are
known as "Gator Getters." Here, at the
University of North Carolina, they are called
the Sweet Carolines.
"I feel that the general impression of the
Sweet Carolines is "Carolina Call Girls."
Most people think we are the girls the
prospective football players date and then
jump in bed with," says Karen Culler, a
former Sweet Caroline.
The Sweet Carolines are a part of the
official football recruiting program at
Carolina. Their function is to entertain
recruits, their families and friends, and
answer any questions about the university.
The Sweet Carolines' duties begin Friday
before a home football game. They meet in
Head Football Coach Bill Dooley's office
and are given a list of the recruits arriving the
next day.
The recruits are classified as 1-2-3- and 4
star recruits. The 3- and 4-star recruits are
definite scholarships and the 1- and 2-star
recruits are possible scholarships.
"If the coaches really were interested in a
certain guy, we were told to be especially nice
to him," says Karen. "Also, if the recruit was
from your hometown, you were told to make
sure1 yati tp'Okdto; mkifnii '"f -'u''
The Sweet Carolines are then told which
recruits they are responsible for meeting.
After the instructions, they go look up the
recruits in some files.
The girls try to find out such facts as where
the recruits are from, their high school's
record this season, and their positions on the
football team.
"It really impresses a guy when you can
come up to him and say, 1 hear your high
school has a really great record this year or I
I heard you played a great game the other
week,' " Karen says.
The Sweet Carolines meet at 10 the next
morning, Saturday, at Chase Cafeteria.,
There, a big reception is held for the
prospective football players, their families
and friends.
Karen's eyes widened as she adds, "There's
a big table piled high with things like shrimp
cocktail and cookies."
The Sweet Carolines are required to wear
a uniform consisting of a Carolina blue dress
and white sandals to the reception. The
guests begin arriving between 10:30 a.m. and
II a.m.
The girls act as hostesses. "We get the
guests any food they want and we talk to
them."
Karen said she enjoyed meeting most of
the recruits and their families. Often, she said
she tended to focus attention on the families,
because "the coaches were falling all over the

"Sooner" or later, it was bound to happen.
A wrestling team or any team, for that
matter whose starting lineup is nearly two
thirds freshmen just doesn't run around like
some kind of national champion whipping
opponents by scores of 56-0 and 42-0 for very
long without reproach.
Particularly if Oklahoma's nationally
ranked Sooners have a say in the matter.
It wasn't the Sooners that leveled the Tar
Heels with their first defeat of the season
after four wins; Wyoming did that. But since
Wyoming's victory last Friday night was a
relatively close one (the Cowboys won 25-1 6) '
and one that UNC Wrestling Coach Bill Lam
said could have been avoided if not for a
couple of careless mistakes, the Cowboys
can hardly be credited with putting the
brash, young Tar Heels in their place.
That's where Oklahoma came in.
The Sooners spotted Carolina a 3-0
advantage Saturday night following Scott
Conkwright's opening victory at 1 18 before
reeling off wins in five straight bouts en route
to a 36-6 humbling of the Tar Heels.
The triumph was the first convincing one
over UNC after the Heels had downed
Pembroke State (30-9), Clemson (56-0),
Colorado Mines (42-0), and Northern
Colorado (26-18), the latter two being the
initial matches on the Heels week-long,
four-match tour through the Midwest.
guys and many times the families were left
standing by themselves."
Karen frowns as she recalls her only bad
experience with a family.
"I walked up to this one family and asked
them if they had any questions. They looked
at me like I was dirt, and the mother said,
'We already know everything about the
school. We both went here.'
"I was kind of stifled. But, 1 decided to try
again. 1 knew that they were from out of state
and had flown down that morning.
"So, 1 asked them how their flight had
been. The mother said, 'Well, the pilots were
doing their kind of flying and I was doing my
own kind. My vodka, you know.
"1 controlled an urge to tell them off. I just
smiled, told them 1 hoped they had a nice
visit, and politely moved on."
The recruits often bring along their
girlfriends, Karen says. "They tend to stick
pretty close to their boyfriends."
"One of the best ways to recruit a guy is to
talk to his girlfriend. 1 tried to make the
girlfriend feel like she was part of what was
going. I got her involved by asking her
opinion on certain things."
At noon, the Sweet Carolines can leave or
go to lunch with the recruits at the training
table. "The food is fantastic there," Karen
recalls.
If the Sweet Carolines go to lunch, they
are given tickets for the football game. These
tickets allow them to sit in the same area as
the recruits. During this time they are
expected to continue thier recruiting. After
the game the Sweet Carolines' duties are over
until the next home contest.
When asked how a girl becomes a Sweet
Caroline, Karen said there is an
advertisement in the Daily Tar Heel during
the spring. Applications are available at the
Carolina Student Union desk.
"Then, there is an interview day. The girls
are divided into teams of two or three and
interviewed for five minutes. We spend one
half of the time talking to Coach Dooley and
the present Sweet Carolines."
Karen recalls being asked such questions
as: "Why do you want to be a Sweet
Caroline?" "What would you talk to the
recruits about?" "How would you convince a
recruit to come to Carolina?" and "How
would you go about mingling since
sometimes there are 250 people at the
reception and only 12-15 Sweet Carolines?"
The Sweet Carolines are chosen on the
basis of these interviews.
Karen smiles at the question, "Why did
you become a Sweet Caroline?' She said she
thinks that her reason was a unique one.
"I wanted to do it because I was tired of
seeing recruits coming in that were promised
so much, they (the recruiters) will tell you
anything...

As Lam said, They put it on us pretty
good."
Several factors accounted for Oklahoma's
rout.
To begin with, wrestling four matches in
six days following five days of grueling two-a-day
workouts took its toll on Carolina; an
illness that sidelined David Breece the entire
trip and a knee injury that rendered Dave
Casale inactive following the Northern
Colorado contest didn't help matters and
not 'Carolina
"1 had seen too many football players
arrive with the idea they were going to be
treated special, and due to the misfortune of
injury or a bad year, were being treated
horribly.
"I talked to the recruits about this. 1
pointed out that the coaches are your friends
as long as you are doing good, but when
things go bad, everyone has a problem. I
wanted them to know the truth; that unless
you are someone like Mike Voight, there is
not much glory involved. College football is
a lot of hard work.
"1 even talked to the parents about this. I
could have gotten into a lot of trouble
because we-were told to tell the recruits
anything to make them want to come to
Carolina."
Karen says the reason most of the girls
were on the squad her year as a Sweet
Caroline was because they were Carolina
fans. "I felt like they wanted to help the
school get good football players by bringing
the recruits the Carolina tradition and
making them want to be Tar Heels."
Karen does not believe meeting the often
handsome prospective football players is the
main reason for becoming a Sweet Caroline.
"A lot of times the age difference will kill
your desire. Sometimes, you'll be really
freaking out over this good-looking guy and
then .you'll remember, he's only a junior or
senior in high school. He's still a kid."
Karen did say that frequently she became
good friends with the recruits since some
visit the school more than once. She laughs
as she recalls having a crush on one of her
recruits.
"It wasn't a romantic crush. 1 just enjoyed
talking to him and 1 loved his little brother.

Carolina's youth and inexperience was a
definite handicap.
You just don't take seven freshmen in at
the end of a long road trip against a team that
finished second in the nation last year and
expect to win," said Lam.
The main reason, though, was that
Oklahoma simply has more wrestlers and
better wrestlers, Kenny Nelson, Mike Chin
and Herb Kalbert in particular.
"They just didn't have a weak spot on their,
entire lineup, Lam admitted.
Nelson eliminated Curtis Rudolph who
had replaced Breece at 126; Chin edged Chris
Conkwright at 134; and Kalbert, "one of the
best in the country," according to Lam,
pinned heavyweight Dee Hardison.
Earlier at Wyoming, Carolina had jumped
ahead behind decisions by the Conkwrights
and Dave Juergens to lead 1 1-7 when Mike
BenzeL wrestling 158, took a commanding 8
0 lead over Steve Suder only to get pinned
with 1:20 remaining to play.
"If we had won that one," said Lam, "we
would have won the match. But Mike just
made a mistake and it cost him a win."
Later, after Wyoming had recorded
decisions over Carl Hoffman and Joe Ryan, -Dean
Brior moved up to 190 to replace
Casale and was pinned with 2:35 to go while
holding a 9-5 advantage.
Despite the two losses, Lam labels the trip
a success.
Carolina's next match is Saturday when it '
hosts Cerogia.

He even brought his girlfriend the first time.
"I sat with him at the game and ate lunch
with him while he was here. He took me to
meet his parents."
Admittedly, Sweet Carolines and recruits
do get together. But, Karen emphasizes, "I
know of no instances where Sweet Carolines
and recruits were set up for dates, and I've
never heard of a Sweet Caroline
propositioning a recruit. There were times,
though, the red-shirts and freshman football
players who help the Sweet Carolines host
the recruits propositioned us.
"The fact that the redshirts and freshmen
football players work closely with the Sweet
Carolines may motivate a girl to join the
organization. Possibly, the girls might join
just to meet these guys and their football
player friends," Karen says.
Karen pulls down an old football program
and turns to a picture of last year's Sweet
Carolines. "These girls, about five of them,
had steady boyfriends when they were Sweet
Carolines. So apparently, they didn't join the
organization just to catch a man." :
