  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY JUNE 20, 1974 PAGE 3 Fieldhouse almost ready, Waters mum on 74 season WCU Athletic director Bob Waters said yesterday the new $1.65 million football stadium and fieldhouse should be completed and ready for use in time for WCU's first game against Murray State on September 14. Only the fieldhouse is still under construction, but members of the Haywood Construction Company, who are working on the fieldhouse, have assured Waters it would be completed on time. However, should the weather or a shortage of materials prevent completion in time for the first game, Waters said it would only be a slight inconvenience to the players. He said the Haywood builders were working full-time on the project and it could be completed by August 25. The fieldhouse will include facilities for offices, a "Big Cat" Room, a sports information office and dressing quarters for both teams. When asked about the prospects for the 1974 football sea son, Waters said he would not be making any predictions. It seems he predicted a great season last year, and the Cats ended with an unsatisfying 6-3-1 record. However, Water did say he was "feeling pretty good" about this year's prospects. He cautioned that he did not have good depth on the bench, but several key players would be returning. The team should do well unless injuries force him to rely heavily on inexperienced players. Waters has a total of 90 players making up the team which includes freshmen. When asked about the ruling Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare that schools would have to spend more on women's athletics, Waters said he had not seen the complete proposal, but what he had seen was "very general." ''We are already in compliance," said Waters, if he understood all the details of the HEW document. WCU receives funds for masters' program A $32,500 grant has been awarded to Western Carolina University to renew a special master's degree training program to prepare students to teach English in junior colleges. The grant, awarded by the U, S. Office of Education under the Education Professions Development Act, was announced through the office of Congressman Roy A. Taylor. The training program, first carried on at WCU in 1972-73, will include five graduate fellowships to be given to successful applicants. The fellowships will provide a $3,000 stipend to each fellow and an additional $500 for each dependent, and will pay the full tuition costs. Students selected for the program will enter a special curriculum leading to the master of arts in education degree with a concentration in teaching English at the two-year college level. The students will spend four quarters in classroom work and a fifth quarter teaching in a two- year college. Dr. Lawrence Arney, assistant dean of the Graduate School, a fellow ofthe Higher Education Personnel Fellowhip Program, and director of the project, said the program is designed to meet a continuing need for teachers of reading, composition, speech and technical report writing in classes that include adults with a wide variety of backgrounds and exoeriences. Persons interested in the program may obtain full details from Dr. Arney in the WCU Graduate School office. He estimated that nine to ten thousand dollars would be spent on women's athletics next year. While admitting that figure was small as compared to a total athletic budget of $270,000, Waters stressed that only East Carolina University compared with WCU in the comparative percentage spent by the North Carolina schools. He said a scholarship would not be denied any person regardless of sex if that person was the best player. He thought scholarship determinations should be based on ability, not sex considerations. However, there are no scholarships offered to women at present at WCU. There are 50 full-time football scholarships, 15 for basketball, five for baseball, five for track and a part - scholarship for wrestling. Waters also said the decision on Western Carolina's entrance into the Southern Conference should come in December. The Southern Conference athletic directors were on campus last week, and WCU passed their inspection concerning adequate facilities for athletic competition. However, an academic committee will visit WCU this fall. That could prove to be the most rigorous test, for the committee will inspect not only the academic standards of the WCU athletes, but also those of the entire university. Waters would make no predictions on the final judgment by the Southern Conference on whether WCU would be allowed to enter, but he said membership would help both the athletic and academic programs here. It takes two hands to handle a hotdog made by the Western Carolina cafeteria staff, or at least that's the approach made by the unsuspecting coed shown above. (Photo by Steve Cook).
