  • Thursday, January 20, 1972 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 9 "IF I CAN JUST TURN IT ONE MORE TIME," or so it seems as Catamount Bo Russell maintains full control of the situation, Russell went on to give Western its first win of the match as he defeated Appalachian's Dale Midkiff on a decision. INTRAMURALS Winter intramurals are getting into the swingof things with a full slate of activities for students. Basketball will be the main program with teams being determined by the students residents. Those students interested should go by room 218 in Reid Gym or contact the manager in their dorm. Separate from the team play will be a basketball free throw contest on Wednesday Febuary 9th at 7:00 in Reid Gym. For the handball enthusiast, a one wall singles tournament will get underway on January 18and a one wall doubles tournament will begin on Monday Febuary 28. A new wrestling program will begin on Febuary first, Those interested should stop by room 218 in Reid Gym for the special rules. There will be a swimming meet on Thuraday Febuary 10 at 7:00, A listing of the events will be posted in the intramurals office in the Gym. Other winter sports will include a table tennis tournament on Wednesday January 26 at 4:00. The tournament is open to any student who is interested. Bowling begins on Febuary first, INTERCOLLEGIATE Student-athletes head week's recruits Three more outstanding football players have signed with Western Carolina University bringing the Catamount's recruit list to 11 for next season. Mitch Burr, whose brother Steve led the WCU freshman team last year as a oass receiver, was the first of the trio to sign. Burr played last year at Brevard High School as a combination fullback and linebacker. He is 5-foot-10, 194-pounds and had played three years of high school football at Bowman High In Wadesboro before transferring to Brevard, Burr is undefeated as a high school wrestler so far in his career. Wrestling in the high school heavyweight weight- class he has nine straight pins so far this year. Academically, Burr is a straight "A" student and ranks 10th out of his class of 300 at Brevard currently, "Mitch is a quick, aggressive, all-over-the-fleld player," said WCU assistant coach Johnny Wike, who signed all three players. The description likens Burr to oresent WCU linebackers Steve Yates and Joe Hunter. Hunter is one of the five other Brevard players now playing at Western. Joining Burr next year in Catamount uniforms will be two High Point Central High School players, Bobby Price and Robbie Slack. Price is a 5-foot-10, 185- pound defensive back. He was voted as the player of the year on last season's High Point Central team that finished as the runner-up team for the State 4-A Championship. He was a two-time Central 4-A All-Conference pick and like Burr Is an excellent student being a member of the National Honor Society and Beta Club. "Bobby is an outstanding defensive backfield prospect, A hitter with all the tools," said Wike. Also from the same H.P . Central team headed for WCU next fall is 5-foot-ll,217-pound offensive lineman Robbie Slack. Nicknamed LUMBERIACK, Slack was described this way by Wike, "a very physical player; extremely strong; his overall season performance was as consistant as any offensive lineman we scouted all season." TALKING TO THE ANIMALS FOUNDfO 1935 PRESS BULLETINS Abolish dean9s list Medford, Mass. - (LP.) - "The whole Dean's list Is a farce which I personally like to see abolished," declares George S. Mumford, dean of the College of Liberal Arts in Tufts University. Ten of fifteen years ago everybody felt very competitive, Dean Mumford said, "Today, however, attitudes among both faculty and students towards grades and eduation have changed." Dean Mumford explained that he has observed among certain faculty members, especially graduate teaching assistants, a tendency to give uniformly high grades just to emphasize the fact that they consider grades an anachronism and an obstacle to the learning process. Curriculum revamped Stockton, Calif. - (I.P.) -University of the Pacific's Raymond College - the first cluster college in the United States - is revamping its curriculum to become "virtually unlimited for the creative student." CONTINUED Page 11. . . . At Franke Park Children's Zoo in Fort Wayne, Ind., is a favorite pastime tor Carmen Donesa, 8. Carmen is National Poster Child for the March of Dimes, so naturally her entry in the contest to pick a name for the 8-week-old tiger cub was "Dimes." Dimes himself didn't seem to care what Carmen called him, as long as she kept his baby bottle handy. The baby tiger hasn't learned to roar yet, but he does emit a loud and emphatic wheeze if Carmen doesn't hold the. bottle just right. Mr. Nibbs, a 5-month-old gibbon, also wanted plenty of attention from Carmen. So did Bumpy, the wallaby, not to speak of Ferdinand the baby bull and a crowd of lambs and goats, all waiting to be petted and played with. "I'm really very busy," commmented Carmen. "You can see they all need a lot of love." Carmen did take time off from her animal kingdom to ioin her human friends in the playground, though. Undaunted by her leg braces and crutches, Carmen climbs on the jungle gym, swings on the swing, slides and seesaws until she's tired. Then it's back to the tiger cub for another bottle. "After all, he's always hungry," says Carmen. "He's just like my little brother that way. I guess boys are all alike."
