  • TUESDAY APRIL 15, 1975 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 1 luw»*»»»—•«»« • -•" mt wtAifcKN CAROLINIAN Page 7 Wrestling, gymnastics dropped? Western's athletic committee may drop wrestling and men's gymnastics as competitive intercollegiate sports at a meeting Thursday. At a meeting last Thursday, the committee did vote to drop the two sports, but due to some controversy over the way the vote was made, another meeting will be held to open debate again. According to Dr, Gurney Chambers, committee chairman, several members of the wrestling and gymnastics teams were at the meeting and spoke against dropping their sport. After they spoke, Chambers told them the committee would not vote on the issue until the next meeting, and the athletes left. But later, the committee decided it needed a quick decision, so it went ahead with the vote. That made the athletes think they had been de- New panacea: pie in eye (CPS)— At the University of Minnesota a pompous student senator rises to damn the student body president for taking a Christmas vacation, A minute later he is wiping lemon meringue off his face. Operating under such names as Pie Kill Limited, Pies Unlimited, and Pie Face International, practical joke companies are springing up coast to coast, dedicated to delivering pies into the faces of un~ suspecting victims. The original Los Angeles based firm, conceived by Don Murdock, drew inspiration from an incident involving Leon Louie, a Navy Seabee who had the nerve to throw a pie in the face of his commanding officer, Louie was subsequently busted in rank and fined $400. Pie Kill promotes the idea that absurdity is the only way to relieve the pressures of our society. "It's a sad commen tary on our time that people are born and die without being hit in the face with a pie," Murdock said, The delivery, costing $35, is simple but well-planned. Usually two men work together. The first approaches the victim, shakes his hand and hands him a document commending him for good sportsmanship. As the victim pauses to read it. the second man steps up and mashes a pi" into his face. ceived, said Chambers, so after SGA representatives and Chancellor II, 1', Robinson put pressure on the committee, it decided to reconsider their vote this Thursday* The meeting has been scheduled at 4 p.m, in the Cardinal Room of the I ",C, Chambers said wrestling and men's gymnastics was being dropped because there isn't e- nough money for all the sports Western now has. WCU is increasing the amount of money women's athletics receives and has to cut down on men's Sports, said Chambers, Women's sports will receive a minimum of $15,000 next year with $4,500 of that going for scholarships, It will be the first women's scholarships WCU has ever offered, Instead of decreasing the am-mnt of m-mey the other sports were receiving, Chambers wants to cut down on the number of sports and keep the quality high, "I had rather have a high quality program that's small than a mediocre one that's large," said Chambers, Currently, WCU has nine men's intercollegiate sports and four women's, It has about $278,000 to divide among the sports to finance them, According to Chambers,- Western's decision to drop the sports will not adversely affect its chances of getting into the Southern Conference in May. The athletic committee is composed of five students, six faculty members and three administrators, Las Vegas rejects silicone use (CPS)--The siliconed bosom- boom in the 1960's has turned into a nightmare for hundreds of women. Las Vegas plastic surgeons have been pressing for a state- law against future bust-building silicone iaiections and have opposed the possible release by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of a new silicone fluid for experimental use. The big breast rage of show business a few years ago has inticed many women to experiment on themselves. Hoards of starlets and figure- conscious housewives have flocked to Las Vegas, Paris and Tokyo to have injections of liquid silicone. The surgeons have estimated that in Las Vegas alone, at least 12,000 women have had injections. Unfortunately, many of these women have suffered subsequent problems from the injections, ranging from dis coloration to gangrene within one to 14 years after injections. Four women have died, and. mastectomies have been performed on many other silicone- filled women, according to the Las Vegas surgeons. Silicone also causes lumps and is X-ray opaque, making it nearly impossible to detect can cer, Injections of liquid silicone were prohibited by the FDA in 1968 but practitioners mm************ are still allowed to import medical grade silicone from Mexico, WCU chorus performs The WCU Community Chorus will perform its final concert of the season Sunday at 8:15 p.m, in Hoey Auditorium.
