The Daily Tar HeelThursday, June 11, Criminal By Rodney Cline Staff Writer Recent UNC graduate Steven Penn knew that team handball was the second biggest participation sport in the world. However, until a March trip to Austria as a member of the United States Team Handball National Team, Penn didn't realize how well-liked it really was. "It's amazing how popular the sport was over there," Penn said after return ing from the World Championship Qualifying Tournament. "The sport is right behind soccer. All gyms have team handball courts, just like they have bas ketball courts over here. "In Austria, we were on live televi sion, and we played in front of sellout crowds of 3,000. In the championship game between Norway and Austria (which Norway won), more than 1 1,000 people packed the place." Those numbers are a far cry from the sport's popularity in the United States. Team handball is still relatively un known in this baseball-, basketball- and football-crazed country. For team hand ball to be noticed, the U.S. must per Commissioners, alter your atrocious divisions Please, oh please. Fay Vincent, heed the urgings of several teams and realign the divisions in the National League. The way the divisions are set up now is absurd. Atlanta and Cincinnati are in the Western Division, Chicago and St. Louis are in the East. What's wrong with this picture? Wouldn't it make sense to have teams from the Eastern part of the country in the Eastern Divi sion and teams from the Western part in the Western Division? Now that the National League has added the Florida Marlins and Colo rado Rockies for 1993, there has never been nor will there be for a while a better opportunity to adjust the divi sions in a commonsense manner. The addition of those two teams will disrupt the scheduling routine the league has enjoyed for 16 years anyway, so why not take advantage of the chance to move teams to their more geographi- Camden 50,402 of them. Yes, more than 50,000 Baltimore fanatics turned out to watch a truly bad team play baseball. It was dubbed "Fan tastic Fans" night. Fantastic indeed. The fans were rewarded for their remarkable faithfulness the Orioles Golf named to the Smith-Corona All-Scholars Golf Team. Moore joins six otherACC players on the All-Americaieatn?

"" Two from women's hoops make junior teams UNC's Charlotte Smith and Gwendolyn Gillingham were chosen by USA Basketball to the Women's Libraries which are not going to go away." Faculty, teaching affected Taylor added that faculty recruiting also was affected by weak library re sources. "When the University tries to recruit faculty they may say, 'Whoops, I can't work here. They don't have what I need.'" Jenkins said the health sciences fac ulty were suffering from the lack of materials. "In the health sciences it has an absolutely devastating effect. A lot of faculty request us to buy materials that we can't afford to buy." The lack of library resources also has Edwards pervises the CPOs. "Keith Edwards was given a similar test (to Perry), but she didn't even know it was coming," McSurely said. "The test was very similar to the textbook Officer Perry had just used at crime prevention officer's school." But DeVitto testified that the tests were administered fairly. "I asked each individual question to each applicant in the same order," DeVitto said. "During her interview. Officer Edwards stated the questions were unfair, and she also indicated that she had a grievance pend THE Daily Crossword by Harvey L.

Penn, a native of Brevard, graduated from UNC last December with a degree in criminal justice. He spent two years playing for the UNC Team Handball Club, and that was enough for him to be noticed nationally. "I didn't even know what the sport was three years ago," Penn said. "I had a friend who played when Doc (John Sil va) started the club at Carolina. I quit playing football and got into team hand ball. This is a very athletic sport." . Penn spent the summer of 1 990 prac ticing with the national team in Colo rado Springs, Colo. He also partici pated in the Olympic Festivals in 1990 and 1991, and he was invited to be a permanent member of the national team after graduation. After two months of practice in Colo rado Springs, Penn and the national team travelled to Czechoslovakia to play some exhibition games. From there, it was on to Austria. "We really played awful in Austria," Penn said of the team's 14th-place fin- cally correct di visions? Florida can join the NL East, Colorado can move into the NL West, and the Reds, Braves, Cubs and Cardinals can simply switch to the other division. Very simple. I David J. M Kupstas A The "W" : -f Column It seems that now the Cubs are the only team opposed to the realignment, their reasoning being that a move to the Western Division would mean later broadcast times for more of their games on cable station WGN. (This is not as self-serving as it seems fewer prime time games means less chance for resi dents on the East Coast to hear the downed the Rangers 9-4 for their first victory at home on the season.

"(Instructors) are not able to bring current information into the classroom," she said. "We're not send ing well-trained students out to practice because of lack of resources in the li brary."

"My method of interviews, as it was in the military, was to put people under stress and see how they react," added DeVitto, who was a career army officer before coming to UNC in 1988. Shortly before applying for the posi tion of CPO, Perry had attended a crime prevention officer's training school. While Edwards also completed the course, it had been several years since she had reviewed the material, McS urely said.

This was my first trip, and the other guys had been on the team from a sweet-sounding Harry Caray.) You were quoted, Mr. Vincent, as saying: "It has to be determined whether it's proper for one club to block what has been unanimously supported by the other clubs." Go ahead. Commissioner, lay down the law. And while you're at it, can you get in touch with NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue to see if he can do any thing about the football divisions? Some of those are worse than your National League divisions. Once again, Atlanta's team is ban ished to the West, playing against the likes of San Francisco and Los Angeles twice a year. Other atrocities are Phoe nix and Dallas in the NFC East and Tampa Bay in the NFC Central. I propose a major overhaul for the NFL in which the AFC and the NFC would be shuffled together to form the perfect divisions. The new alignment, from page 6 Schafer delivered an exciting message, one that would wed Baltimore and its Birds into the 21st century. Schafer told Baltimore's fans that the Maryland Stadium Authority and the Orioles had agreed on a lease for a new downtown ballpark, what we today know as Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Undoubtedly, the park that now stands on the old site of the Baltimore & Ohio Camden Yards rail center will be j a favorite baseball haven for years to come. The $105 mimon jewel assured ff harmonious relationship between the Orioles and their followers. But if the turnout for the May 2, 1988, game at Memorial Stadium carries any weight, Baltimore and its fans would still be together even without the fancy new home. But it's still a nice thing to have. from page 1 the cutting edge we are not able to buy," Coggins said. A report prepared by the Law School Development Office and the library staff states that $97,500 in subscrip tions and other materials have been canceled in the past two years. "Addi tional cuts will be made this year," the report states. Health Sciences Library officials said they also were forced to severely cut their subscription lists and book pur chases. "Over the last three to four years we've canceled more than 1,000 serials in conjunction with buying 50 percent less books," Jenkins said. from page 1 position of CPO in March 1990, a few weeks before then-CPO Ned Comar was scheduled to retire. Soon after the personnel change, Edwards and three other officers, con tending that the transfer actually was a promotion, filed grievances. Chancel lor Paul Hardin ordered DeVittotoopen the position and to post notices of the vacancy at the police station. DeVitto, the first witness called in the three-day hearing, said Perry's ini tial change in duties represented a lat eral transfer, not a promotion. 01992 Tribune Media Services, Inc.

"Plus, I'm learning to play a new position." The learning process takes place at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Practices are held twice a day, two hours apiece, for six days. "Some of the guy s on the team worked while we were out there, but I didn't get a job because I was only there two months," Penn said. "I sat around a lot, watched TV, and read. You get a lot of free time if you don't work." The team started practice on May 4 for a tournament in Cuba from June 4 14. Penn and his teammates will get the summer off because they did not qualify for the Olympics in Barcelona, so the next chance for the U.S. to gain respect is at the Student World Games in Russia in October. "I have enjoyed being a part of the national team so far," Penn said. "It's tough to get adjusted to the schedule, but the competition is awesome. I've been in athletics all my life, and I'm getting to learn a new game and to better myself at a great sport." with possible expansion teams included, would go something like this: AFC East: Buffalo, New England, N.Y. Giants, N.Y. Jets, Philadelphia AFC Central: Cincinnati, Cleveland, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, St. Louis AFC West: L.A. Raiders,L.A. Rams, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle NFC East: Atlanta, Charlotte, Mi ami, Tampa Bay, Washington NFC Central: Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Indianapolis, Minnesota NFC West: Dallas, Denver, Hous ton, New Orleans, Phoenix These divisions look nothing like the ones like the ones we are used to; they are simply a geographically logical grouping of teams. If teams were moved from their current divisions, attempts were made the keep them in the same league to preserve rivalries. Major League Baseball and the NFL can both learn a lesson from the NBA and the NHL, where intra-division ri vals are located somewhat close to one another. Hockey's Patrick Division fea tures the N.Y. Islanders, N.Y. Rangers, New Jersey, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Washington, all located within a 200-mile radius, while Adams Division has five teams all located within a 300 mile radius. Neither the NFL or the major leagues will cease to survive if there is not realignment. It would just be nice to see the leagues make a move in the direc tion of organization. Baseball should jump at the chance expansion has given it for realignment, and when the NFL expands, it should take advantageof the same opportunity.

V Silva, who still coaches the UNC Team Handball Club, said Penn has a great opportunity with the U.S. team. "He has the physical capability to play on the national and international levels, and he has above average throw ing abilities," Silva said. "He also has decent speed and quickness. "I practiced with him some when he was in Chapel Hill, and I can tell that he now has a much better understanding of team handball. Histiming is better, he is more patient, and he is more accurate with his shot." Silva said that Penn has developed a bounce shot while with the national team, a very difficult shot to defend. "Right now, the biggest challenge Steven faces is his new position, center back," Silva said. "The center back runs the team like a point guard, and you can't let the team unravel. Steven has a great opportunity at that position. "I spoke with the (United States Team Handball) Federation, and they are look ing for a center back now. The timing is good for Steven.
