8The Daily Tar HeelFriday, November
Allowances:

The NCAA's 1984 College Foot
ball Press Kit, breaking the
precedent of only printing answers
to canned questions, for the first time
gives players a chance to sound off
about anything they wish.
From Kurt Page, a senior quar
terback at Vanderbilt: "Not all
athletes come from rich families. The
rule that keeps scholarship players
from having a job means they miss
out on dating and just taking in a
movie. They need to have a little
spending money to feel they can do
something they enjoy."
Former N.C. State wide receiver
and current Philadelphia Eagle Mike
Quick's assertion that there was a
need for some kind of "trust fund"
in college football to keep money
from changing hands illegally
brought that issue to life at North

Field hockey coach Karen Shelton will be looking
for consistency and emotion from the Tar Heels this
weekend when they defend their conference cham
pionship in the ACC tournament in Charlottesville,
Va.
The No. 6 Tar Heels, 12-4, will receive a first-round
bye and will face the winner of the Duke-Wake Forest
game tomorrow afternoon. No. 12 Maryland will play
No. 19 Virginia in the other first-round game.
"I think we've progressed this season into one of
the nation's top five teams," Shelton said. "But we
haven't always been consistent. Sometimes well come
out and play like a top five team, and other times
well play like a top 20 team."
The Tar Heels' last two games provide evidence
of the team's different identities. UNC defeated

Should college athletes get them?
Cram's Tuesday press conference.
Crum was asked about Quick's
comments in Sunday's Philadelphia
Inquirer, where Quick was quoted
as saying he had signed with an agent
before he left N.C. State as the
Eagles' No. 1 draft choice in 1981
and that this agent had given him
money. This not long after 1983
Heisman Trophy winner Mike Roz
ier told Sports Illustrated he had
been receiving $600 a month on
credit from an agent during his
senior year at Nebraska.
"It happens every day," Quick was
quoted as saying. "All the good
players are going to have (an agent)."
Crum said he wasn't in favor of
a trust fund, where players would
be paid but forced to put away the
money until their college careers had
ended. He did, however, make a case
for giving scholarship athletes in
revenue sports (football and basket
ball) money for everyday, college-life
looking to defend conference title
William and Mary 1-0 in a lackluster performance
Saturday. However, in their last home game Tuesday
night, the Tar Heels victimized James Madison 4-
0 in perhaps their finest game of the season, according
to Shelton.
Freshman midfielder Judith Jonckheer and senior
forward Mary Sentementes each broke season records
against JMU. With her second-half goal, Jonckheer
set a school record for goals by a freshman with 19.
On the same play, Sentementes gained her ninth assist
on the season, another UNC record.
"If we can play with the emotion and intensity we
had against James Madison, IH be satisfied," Shelton
said. "Sometimes you want to avoid emotion, but
1 feel they used it well. There was more on-the-field
communication, and more encouragement between
players.
"We can't afford to play like we did against William
and Mary at this point in the season."

expenditures.
"And what's wrong with a kid
having some money so he can be like
the rest of the kids on campus?"
Crum said. "You take some of the
kids . . . everybody has 'em . . . when
they came to school they had nothing
but the shirt on their back. And they
want to be like the guy living next
door; they want to be able to go
uptown and get a hamburger. They
want to be able to go on a date. They
want to be able to act like anybody
else on campus."
Up until the early 1970s, scholar
ship players were given monthly
allocations for incidental expenses.
"Laundry money," UNC athletic
director John Swofford called it.
Crum said a return to such a
practice would not only allow
revenue sport athletes the opportun
ity to "act like anybody else on
campus," but it would help eliminate
the shady dealings Quick and Rozier
apparently fell prey to.
"(By not allowing an athlete to
work or not giving him spending
money) you're setting up the situa
tion where you're going to get some
illegal stuff going on," he said.
"That's where that stuff gets going."
UNC head basketball coach Dean
Smith said that when he was a player,
"we got $15 a month. Of course, that
would be- a lot more now like
about $150-$200."
Smith, like Swofford and Cram,
would be in favor of a return to the
"laundry money" method, taking
what years ago was $15 or so and
inflating it to current dollar value.
"I'm not for paying players; I'm
very much opposed to that," Swof
ford said. "But I do think that a
monthly allowance, as part of a
scholarship, for incidental expenses
would be totally appropriate in terms
of what the athletes are contributing
to the University."
Shelton said her team's excitement Tuesday night
stemmed from the final home appearance for six
seniors: backs Jamie Warren, Alison Seger and Jane
Jester, sweeper Meg Wanser (the backbone of UNC's
strong defense) and forwards Lisa Morin and
Sentementes. :'f
"We hoped to get a goal for each senior," Shelton
said. "But we played well anyway."
Shelton said she hopes her squad will continue to
play with enthusiasm in the the ACC tournament.
If pitted against Duke, the Tar Heels will need to
play at their best, Shelton said, because the Blue Devils
always play well against UNC.
Unless they lose badly this weekend, the Tar Heels
should have a lock on an NCAA tournament bid,
Shelton said. Maryland, 13-5-1, could also be invited
to the &CAA's. Bids and pairings for the NCAA
tournament will be announced Monday.

Ski club reactivated
By TAMERA MAJORS
Stall Writer
Snow skiing in Chapel Hill? Not
exactly.
The UNC snow skiing club was
reactivated last year after about seven
years of nonexistence, said Greg Sow
ers, the president and creator of the
present club
Sowers said that disorganisation
brought a temporary halt to the club,
but he believes the present club is well
organized and has potential this year.
"Last year, we were working on club
recognition instead of skiing," Sowers
said. "We didn't even field a women's
team."
Altrioiioh in itc firct iMar tc ummon'c
ski team has potential for a great season,
according to Sowers.
"Right now, if everybody keeps
training, our women's team has a
chance to win the SECSA (Southeast
Collegiate Ski Association)," Sowers
id.
The winner of the SECSA will go
to the National Collegiate Ski Associ
ation race.
The women's team's toughest com
petitors will be Lees-McRae and Appal
achian State, Sowers said. UNC's men
will also face those schools.

Davis cited practice time, physical
therapy and meetings as reasons why
his days are always scheduled up.
"Saturday night is about the only time
to go out with other people," he said.
Many athletes are housed together,
they eat together at the training table
at Ehringhaus (except for basketball
players), and they have study halls
together. But basketball coach Dean
Smith said that all efforts are made to
integrate his players into the student
body.
"We try hard to make them part of
the student body," Smith said. "They
live by the same rules as all the other
students."
One reason that both Smith and Silva
said that there was some segregation by
the administration was harassment.
"Athletes might get berated some
times, or people just want to get close
to them," Silva said. "It becomes tedious
for the players. It's a self-protecting
thing they need some sanity time to
themselves."
Smith said his players have unlisted
phones out of necessity. Also, Smith
said his players who lived in Granville
Towers had study hall in half a hall
that was locked.
"We found that it was hard for the
players to get their studying done
especially after 2 (when UNC won the
national championship). It was a
madhouse all that spring. So we got
half a hall that is locked, so they have
to get a key to study in there, but other
regular students live there, too, and they
have keys as well."
Basketball players live together for
the first two years they are at UNC,
but then they have a choice of where
they want to live, Smith said. "I realized
a couple of years back that all the other
students had that choice, so I gave it
to my players, too," he said.
Athletic Director John Swofford said
In last year's SECSA competition,
Sowers placed as an individual in the
race, but there had to be a three-man
team in order to be awarded points, and
Sowers was the only skier representing
UNC at the meet. He finished second
in the slalom and third in the giant
slalom.
"Because we didn't have a three-man
m' we didu.not P!ace, as a team' bu
Sowers. "I'm reallv Dsvched.'
The SECSA championship races are
scheduled to take place at Beech
Mountain on Jan. 18 and 25, Feb. 1
and 7, with the finals on Feb. 15.
UNC will take eight men and eight
women to the meet. Five on each team
rac !.f or te?m Pomt? and the other
uu win law iui cajjci iciiwc.
Other ACC schools who fielded a ski
team last year included Clemson, N.C.
State, Virginia, and Georgia Tech.
Other than the SECSA meet, the
competitive members of the ski club do
not participate in races. But this year
Appalachian, which has won the
SECSA for the past two years, is
planning a ski fun race. It would follow
the same guidelines as the SECSA and
would be open to any college or
individual. A tentative date has been
set for the weekend of Jan. 13-14.

UNC is one of the better schools in
terms of keeping the athletes close to
the student body. Swofford said UNC
does not have an all-athletic dormitory,
whereas other schools do.
"Any of the things we institute as an
athletic department are aimed at trying
to help the student-athlete handle his
or her academic load as well as par
ticipate at a high level," Swofford said.
"At the same time, I hope we encourage
our athletes to be involved in other
things as best we can, because I think
that's very healthy.
"I know there are many institutions
that compete at the level that we do
that are more segregated than ours.
That's something we try to minimize,
but I think there's going to be a certain
amount of it just because of the nature
of things."
Stankavage agreed with Swofford. "I
do speak from knowing," he said.
"Other schools are real segregated.
People look at UNC and criticize it, but
other schools within our conference
totally segregate athletes from the
student body. Players here in the pros
had their own dorms in college, were
treated extra specially it opened my
eyes to how good UNC is about treating
their athletes as regular students."
The feeling of Swofford and Smith
was that, aside from treatment intended
to preserve the athlete's right to privacy,
UNC athletes are no more segregated'
than any other extracurricular bodies
on campus.
"I doubt that an athlete is any more
segregated than a fraternity member, for
example," Swofford said. "Anytime a
student is involved in an extracurricular
activity whether it be a sports team,
whether it be a fraternity, whether it
be Student Government there's going
to be some segregation because of the
interest that a person has."
