Billiards tourney A tournament to determine the top men's and women's billiards players at Western Carolina will be Wednesday in the UC Gameroom. The tournament is one of several hundred local contests being held on college campuses around the nation in the qualifying round for the Pabst/ACU-1 National Intercollegiate Billiards Championship. The tournaments are being conducted by the Association of College Unions-International in association with the Pabst Brewing Company. Any student wishing to play in the WCU tournament may enter by registering at the UC information desk. The tournament will be set up in a double elimination competition with the initial pairings determined through a drawing. The participants will play 14.1 continuous, generally called straight pool. In the men's competition, play is to 100 points and the women play to 50 points. Each participating college will send its men's and women's billiards champions to one of fifteen regional tournaments for the second round of competition. The Western Carolina champions will play in the Region 5 tournament which will be held Feb. 3-5 at Charlotte. Winners of the regional competitions will meet at the Pabst/ACU-I National Intercollegiate Championship which this year will be held at the University of South Carolina-Columbia. Food program offered A program on food sanitation, designed for managers and owners of restaurants, fast food operations, school lunchrooms, and anywhere else food is served, will be offered at three WNC hospitals Feb. 9-10. The program will be presented by Ruby T. Hooper, food service director at Broughton Hospital in Morganton. It will be offered Feb. 9 at 1:30 p.m. at Angel Community Hospital in Sylva. The program will be repeated Feb. 10 at 1:30 p.m. at Swain County Hospital in Bryson City. Anyone involved in serving the public is invited to attend one of the sessions, which are sponsored by WCU and the Mountain Area Health Education Center. A basic premise of the program is that prevention of foodborne illness is a responsibility of management, and that poorly trained food service personnel are a menace to the public because of the increased danger of food poisoning. Ms. Hooper, a registered dietition, is chairman of the food administration section of the NC Dietetic Association. Further information is available from Robert L. Mason, director of the WCU Health Sciences Continuing Education Program, telephone 293-7118.
