Marching Mountaineers9 OCTOBER 19. 1978/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 5 Tuscola High 'walks' off with band contest The "Marching Mountaineers" of Tuscola High School walked off with the grand champion designation Saturday at the ninth annual WCU Marching Band Festival at Whitmire Stadium. The Tuscola band amassed the greatest number of points awarded to any of the 15 bands in the competition as they won first place and a Division One rating in the AAA category for bands of 65 or more players. North Buncombe High School took first place and a Division One in the A A class (from 51 to 64 players) and Swain County High School was similarly honored in class A competition for bands up to 50 players. Second-place winners and their division ratings in AAA, AA, and A classes are Halls High School of Knoxville, Tenn., Division One; Holston High School of Knoxville, Division One; and Cocke County High School of Newport, Tenn., Division Two. Third place awards went to Hendersonville High School, Division One; Pisgah High School, Division One; and Unicoi County High School, Division Two. A Division One rating indicates a total score of 90-100 points. Division Two 80-89.9 points, and Division Three 70-79.9 points. A perfect score would be 50 points for playing, 30 points for marching, and 20 for general effect. Trophies for outstanding drum major were presented to Halls High School, Holston High School of Knoxville, and Swain County High School. Awards for outstanding flag corps went to Halls High School, Holston High School of Knoxville, and Cocke County High School. Outstanding auxiliary corps awards went to Tuscola High School, Holston High School of Knoxville, and Cocke County High School. Military inspection trophies were presented to Hendersonville High School, McDowell High School, and Andrews High School. Division ratings for other competing bands follow: class AAA, William Byrd High School of Vinton, Va., Division Two; class AA, McDowell High School and Holston High School of Damascus, Va., both Division Two; class A, Andrews High School, Division Two, and Murphy High School and Bunker Hill High School of Claremont, NC, both Division Three. Trophies were presented by WCU Chancellor H.F. Robinson. Festival coordinator is Joseph R. Scagnoli, WCU director of bands. Weight training becoming popular Barbell club promotes fitness by J.M. TRINKS Staff Writer Bodybuilding by weight training is fast becoming popular with the increased interest and participation in keeping fit. And WCU's Barbell Club has a very diverse, unisexual membership of over forty students reaping the benefits of pumping iron. "We promote not only weightlifting but physical fitness as it pertains to many other sports; our main objective is life-long participation in sports and staying fit, not necessarily weightlifting per se," said Alan Campos, club president. He said swimmers, joggers, fraternities, government personnel, and soccer, intramural and track members as well as numerous just-academic students comprise the club membership. For example, the afternoon Campos was interviewed in the weight room of Reid Gym he pointed out members of the math club, business fraternity, and girls from the dance and gymnastics groups working out across the room. The club has assisted other departments and organizations in lab experiments and advice over the three years it has been here. "We have worked closely with professors in exercises, physiology experiments and students writing research papers," said Campos. After receiving p.e. department head Jim Hamilton's approval, Dr. Arthur Pilch, physiology department head, experimented with barbell club regulars. Instructor Sue Fields once queried about methods for training girls in gymnastics. Other students have reported working out regularly with weights. Tim Ploughman, an Army ROTC member, recently scored the highest among colleagues in a physical training test at Ft. Bragg. A perfect score was 500; he scored closer to it than anyone else in ten years according to the statistics. He said he trains with weights to get conditioned for another similiar test next July at Ft. Bragg. The club is also very female-oriented. Last year's club president was Diane Horn, a WCU football cheerleader for four years. Campos said there were several sorority members last year, but this year there have not been any so far. However, there are over a half dozen active female members. He said that the two main female lifters are Sharon Motler and Wendy Tucker. Ms. Tucker was also chosen to represent the club as its homecoming queen contestant. She said she works out with weights to get in shape. She had started running to build up her legs until a female friend helped her begin using the leg press. She now works with the leg press, extensions and curls. After only one month of lifting, she said "it really makes you feel good to do something like that, and it is a good way to stay in shape.'' Campos said the club purchased a back-squat leg machine for girls last year. It will develop the thighs without back injury. He said if enough funds are raised this year they will buy one of the hip and back machines by which girls can trim their hips. Approximately half of the weighttraining equipment has been purchased directly by the club or indirectly by persuasion from the Health, P.E. and Recreation Department. A lot of people not in the club derive many benefits from their efforts. Last year the club bought three sets of Olympic weights ranging from $300 to $350 each. The P.E. department purchased a squat rack, hat machine and pull up bar. The club raises money by sponsoring physique and benchpress contests and wrestling matches, and a hotdog sale was scheduled for today. Just to promote rapport for the club and university a powerlifting contest will be held in an upstairs gym in Reid November 4. Main attractions will be Robert Pugh of Southern Pines, who holds two world records in the 181 and 165-lbs. weight classes; Charlie Pressley of Charlotte, who is ten pounds away from a world record in the 180's; Arthur Davidson of Asheville, who is 30 pounds away from a world record in the 220's; Lewis Reeves, a member of the WCU Barbell Club who is ten pounds away from a state record in the 130's weight class; and Ernie Apritzwasser and Dean Best of Greensboro. Spritzwasser participated in a similiar powerlifting contest here last April. The November meet will not count toward the AAU standards. Three weeks ago, John "Cow" Howie, who is still an honorary member of WCU's Barbell Club, placed second in the Mr. North Carolina Physique Contest in High Point. He set a new state record in the deadlift of 720 pounds and broke last year's record by 70 pounds. The All-South Contest, which includes 12 southern states and has seen world records set there every year, will be held November 11 in the Central YMCA in Durham. Several members of the club are planning to compete in it. Club members will also be participating in a powerlifting contest December 1 in Canton. According to Campos, "we missed the team trophy there for the past two years by only two or three team points; this year we are going after it again.'' He said the wholesale value of last year's team trophy was approximately $1,200. Another powerlifting contest will be held here in the spring. It will feature a large combination of power, physique and strength shows. There were over 80 participants in the spring contest last academic year. Campos said this year's contest will have a new twist to it—leg and bathing suit competitions for girls—providing there is enough interest on the girls' part. A monetary prize will be given to the winners. A possible professional wrestling match has been tentatively planned for next January or February here. Main attractions will be Wahoo McDaniels verses Tony Atlas. The wrestling match drew large crowds last year too. The Barbell Club recently held raffles to raise money. Prizes included two free pizzas, a one-day canoe rental from the Cullowhee Outfitters, a folding knife from the Cullowhee Trading Post, one LP album, a $5 food certificate from Potts Supermarket in Sylva, two tickets to any movie at the Quin Theaters, lunch for two at the Jarrett House in Dillsboro and a logo ball. Other club officers are Fred Domowitz, vice president; Sharon Motler, secretary; Lewis Reeves, treasurer; Tim Ploughman, assistant secretary and chairman of the activities committee; and Dean Robertson, sergeant-at-arms. The club meets at 6:30 p.m. on first and third Wednesday nights in Room 22 at Reid Gym.
