THi WESTERN CAROLINIAN, CULLOWHEE, N. C, APRIL 9, 1941 -Western Carolina SPORTS- Treading The j Catamount Trails I ^^^^s^m (By Johnny Wilson) It looks like a fair ball season this year in spite of the set-back at Boone. It looked like the Cats had the edge in those four home games with Appalachian and Atlantic Christian, especially with A. C. The breaks hit both teams pretty hard and happened to hit the Cats hardest. Ray Cowan looked pretty good to me with that one ball he pitched against A. C. Well, the old intramural league is going strong. It looks like bloody war down on the field every day. With "Iron-Man" Gesser and his gang breathing fire and brimstone it looks like a battle of the century. Every floor in Madison Hall has sworn to win or bust. It's a cinch some ody is going to bust and it won't be long now. Spring And Baseball (By John Crawford) The frog has been calling from his swamp home for several days; the bluebird has long returned from his annual pilgrimage south; a few early flowers have opened in the warm, lazy sunlight; and some trees have already budded, even burst into leaf. But it was not until the familar thud of baseball against bat and glove began to beat upon the air that spring was accepted by the thousands of college students over the nation. As each student has grown up, his concept of spring has slowly turned from marbles to baseball—a "delaying" of spring for about two weeks. He does not look forward to spring as eagerly as he formerly did; the days when he could roll up his sleeves, go barefoot, and maybe slip off t0 the swimming hole and indulge In an early swim—and have the sniffles then for two additional weeks. Spring, in any way of looking at it, has arrived. The calendar says so, the weather says so, the smell has been saying so, and the baseball enthusiast says so. In the hearts of most baseball fans, hope burns high. Excluding the professional teams, each red-blooded man or woman has at least one college team which he is backing with all his heart; possibly with all his pocketbook, too. If his favorite has had a good football and basketball year, he believes they will make it a successful year all the way around. If the football and basketball season didn't go so well, he believes they will redeem themselves. On the campus of W. C. T. C. hope runs as high as anywhere else, if not higher. Although a loss of several standout players last year will handicap the team, Coach Whatley has several promising candidates to take their places; some may even surpass them. Although Griffin will be missed keenly, the pitching staff of Gudger, Cowan, Gheen, Bradburn, and Williams can go far if they get good support from their teammates. Everyone come out and enjoy the games. Boost the Catamounts. Boone Trip Cats, 9-3 Nixon set the offensive pace in Western Carolina's opening game with Appalachian State Teachers College with a triple, a double, and two singles, in five trips to the bat. The Mountaineers won with a 9-3 victory. Hackney, Boone's hurling ace, held the Cats to four scattered hits, while his teammates slugged Gudger and Bradburn for eleven safeties. The Mountaineers gained two runs in the first inning, two singles and a triple. They marked up four more runs in the fourth Inning on two triples and two hits in the fifth. A walk and an error gave them the final mark in the eighth on two singles. The Catamounts tallied over markers in the fourth, sixth and seventh, with bases on balls setting up each score. Catamounts Wallop Atlantic Christian, 9-3 The Catamounts walloped Atlantic Christian College last week, coasting to an easy victory. After two scoreless innings the Cats grabbed a, pair of errors and a pair of walks with a double by Price and a single by gtar Shufdrd to clamp their second conference game of the season. Both Harper of A. C. C. and Gudger of Cullowhee allowed five hits. NOW!— Fresh Meats, Fruits and Vegetables The Brown Company CULLOWHEE, N. C.

C. Is fortunate In having a capable staff of Physical Education Directors. Their good work is being recognized not only by this college, but by other colleges us well. They are .steadily forging to the front of all the other Physical Education departments in this section of the country. At the Southern District of the American Association of Physical Education, Health, and Recreation Convention, several honors were received by W. C. T. C. Physical Education directors. Mr. Andrews participated In discussions on camping and intriunurals, helped to revise the constitution of the men's College Physical Education group, and was elected Southern District chairman of this group. As the National and Southern District conventions will be held jointly next year, this means that he will hold this office two years. While attending the Southern District Convention of Physical Education for Women, Miss Benton acted as chairman of the Resolutions Committee and as chairman of the State Membership Committee of North Carolina. As chairman of the latter she made a report at a luncheon meeting in tht drown Hotel. Miss Benton was aiso one of a committee of five to set up the objectives of physical education for women. The Southern District of Directors of Physical Educational for College Women and the Southern District of the American Association of Physical Education, Health and Recreation conventions were held in Louisville, Ky The former was held March 24-25; the latter, March 26-29. At the N. C. E. A., Miss Benton was elected State Chairman of the Womens College and Private School Direction of Physical Education Committee. Before this organization, the W. C. T. C. Folk Dancing club performed and demonstrated a number of native North Carolina dance steps. Mr. Andrews participated on a panel with Mr. Herman Schnell, director of intramurals at Chapel Hill; Dr. Cornwall, director of Physical Education at Chapel Hill, and a representative from the State Health Department. Th epanel was for the discussion of the various aspects of physical education and health. For the first time, it was decided to combine the Men's College Physical Education and the Public School section for next year. Mr. Andrews was selected to serve as the first chairman. He will have to arrange a program adapted to both college and public needs. At their request, Mr. Andrews is preparing an intramural exhibit for the National American Association of Physical Education, Health and Recreation Convention being held April 29- May 3. This exhibit will consist 0f moving pictures, still pictures, organization charts, and other materials. At the convention, Mr. Andrews will discuss officiating. Mr. Walter Cutter of the highway safety division, in cooperation with Dr. Stack of New York University and representatives of North Carolina colleges, will conduct a school in safety education at Raleigh. Mr. Andrews plans to attend in preparation for the workshop on safety to be held here. These conventions are desirable from several angles. They are valuable first, for the inspiration received; second, because of the reassurance gained; third, for the professional Improvements gained; fourth, because of new Ideas received and the raising of ambition; and fifth, for an enlargement of placement possibilities for graduate students. It would be desirable for any major or minor in Physical Education whc can to attend. * • • The sports-minded girls of W. C. T.

Later in April and May Miss Benton and Miss Reid will conduct intramural contests in badminton, archery, tennis, golf, and perhaps a second softball contest. The regular physical education classes are now playing ten- men softball, but in the future they are to participate In the new six-man or poket-slzed edition softball. They also have a bit of track and field work. Girls are being encouraged to join in all activities for the fun, exercise, and team fellowship which are developed in all sports of skill and physical contact. An incentive to participation to a wider scope is a silver trophy which is being offered to the girl who accumulates the highest number of points. Additional awards are monograms, college letters, and sweaters; four hundred and fifty points are required for the monogram, nine hundred and fifty points for the letter. At least three girls, Pauline Hart, Leona Hyatt, and Berenice Cowan, each with a thousand or more points are eligible for letters and sweaters. * • • In addition to the three large cups displayed in the bookstore, seventy-five medals for the intramural standouts in both boys and girls divisions have been ordered. These medals will be awarded at an assembly on Thursday, May 22. Ballou Crawford, R.

The objective of teacher education is to make available leaders in learning who have (1) an understanding of the purposes and functions of education in our d< , and (2) the ability <a> to guid> at the different learning levels in the selection of worthwhile activities and e.xi ami ibi to aid learners In using their abilities, aptitudes, experts and interests toward the achievements of their life pur- II. Teacher education must lead to ail understanding of the major problems of social life. There should be provision in teacher education for broad general knowledge which offers reasonable guarantee that the prospective teacher shall, through extensive study in such areas a.s language, arts, fine arts, practical arts, mathematics, es, social sciences, health, and. welfare, acquire an understanding of the major problems of social life and their implications for the learners whom he leads, for his fellow workers, for the parents, and for the public in general. III. Teacher education must develop leaders In the major learning areas and learning levels. There should be provision in teacher education for intensive study of the problems in those teaching areas and learning levels (1) in which the prospective teacher is interested, (2) for which he has aptitudes, and 13) in which there is reasonable promise that he may find employment. IV. Teacher education must provide for professional in- I ion and orientation. Provision should be made in teacher education whereby the prospective teacher may employ his knowledge and understandings in 1( arning situations, and to that md his preparation should Include (1) understanding of the vital problems in connection with the growth and development of children, (2> an understanding of the organization and control o.' learning programs in I, (3) knowledge and ation suited t0 the different learning und i4i an opportunity to integrate his own educational liing under nt guidance. V. education must provide to ton and guid- and for evaluating suits. education should provide a workable plan of pre- tralnti In training- guidance, and follow-up eval- i to the end that only those persons may be permitted to completi r-educa- tion curricula who manifest during their preparation: ll) • motional, and mental i, (2) an appreciation of the K nd art of living, (3) a genuine interest in teach- ti, (4) an unhiding of the implications of education a.s a constructive agency in maintaining and improving our American way of life, (5) capacity for becoming effective leaders of learners, (6) an aptitude for the teaching and school level chosen, (7) satisfactory academic achievement, and (8) adequate general scholarship. One co-ed problem has been eliminated at the University of South Carolina. The girls had been winning places on the school's golf, tennis and swimming teams. So the athletics committee ruled that co-eds couldn't engage in a sport event in which men students predominate. Jean B.
