  • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY, 17, 1977 Players help kids learn soccer skills It's not vour average, run of-lhc-mill athletic team, flic plavers don't get much chance for glorv Ihcv don't have cheerleaders or pep bands, and they don't even wear uniforms. Ihcv haven't ICOred u goal all season, and ihcv don't expect lo score any tins Sunday in their suth and final outing. But Ihcv haven't lost anv games, and they've won countless new friends. In fad, they're probably the most SUCCeMful team in the vallcv this vear. lhe lt> "plavers" on the "team"—15 members of the Western Carolina University soccer team and a soccer loving student from Cullowhee High School- set oul live weeks ago to teach soccer lo youngsters 12 years old and younger. Mon than 100 kids, sonic as young as five vears old, responded to lhe call, and the It) members of the "squad" have spent their Sunday afternoons teaching soccer skills, coaching, and officiating at special, scaled-down soccer matches for the children. Response from the parents has been unanimous, and favorable. "It's the greatest thing that's ever happened around here." one father said. "My nine vear old daughter can't wail for Sunday afternoon to come around." Kids taking part in the program seemed enthusiastic too. but were too busy playing soccer to comment. The six-week program has operated under special rules formulated by WCU soccer coach Charles Schrader. "flic rules were written to make sure everyone got to plav in every game and ill different positions." Dr. Schrader said. "Wc also made sure the teams were about even in terms of the age, ability, and sex of the players." A committee of parents helped with the administrative side of the program, and local THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Local Kids learning s r skills with the help of WCU volunteers. | Photo by Mm | Duke |. merchants and other individuals donated the money needed for soccer balls and tec shirts used as jerseys to nil the teams apart. But most of the work was done bv the plavers themselves, for no reward except the chance to introduce the children to what is alter ail lhe most popular sport in the world. "flu fellows were glad to help out," said Jackie Adkins. wcu junior from Pineville who served as co-captain of last year's wcu team. "It's helping us keep up our skills between seasons."

Kasprzyk turns in new two-mile record Dennis Kasprzyk turned in a new school record and the top two-mile time among Southern Conference teams this season last Saturday at the Wolfpack Invitational indoor track meet in Raleigh by finishing second at 9:00.5. Kaspry/.k knocked 12 seconds off his time of two weeks ago (in the Auburn Invitational) in the meet which kept no team scores, but included entries from 40 schools. The WCU distance medley team of Keith Frisbee, Clifford Surratt, Tommy Strickland and Gymnastis win Western Carolina University's women's gymnastics team split in a three-way meet last Saturday in Morehead. Ky., by defeating East Tennessee State and losing to Western Kentucky. WCU had a score of 94.00 while East Tennessee State scored 73.45 and Western Kentucky scored 118.35. Host Morehead State also participated in the meet but was not eligible for the team scoring because of an incomplete team. Martha Benedict, a sophomore from Lake Worth.

Members of the club will share this information with other members, and this, Shigley believes, should prove to be a "tremendous advantage" in "locating available jobs." In addition to this, members will also have an opportunity to learn and practice job-finding skills, such as interviewing, preparing resumes, and keeping files on available jobs. Dr. Shigley decided to form the club after reading of a similar club conducted experimentally by Dr. N. H. Azrin. According to Azrin, not only did club members have a 35 per cent higher chance of getting a job than non-members, but the "average starting salary was about a third higher" for members. The club will be aimed at seniors of all majors. There will be a sign-up sheet in the Psychology- office for those interested in attending the first meeting, which will be held Thursday.
