  • TheV^stern Carolinian Voice of the Students Thursday, February 21,1980 Vol. XLV, No. 21 Cullowhee vs. Boone The Showdown There is no doubt about where the most interesting first round game in the Southern Conference will be played this Saturday. Reid Gymnasium wins that distinction hands down and the 25-year building might not survive a second renewal of a rivalry as intense as the one that exists between Western Carolina and Appalachian State. When the Catamounts and Mountaineers meet in anything, it is a happening. The fact that Saturday night's game is a tournament game, which could lead to bigger things for the winner, only adds fuel to fire. For the record, there will be three other first round games in the Southern Conference Tournament. Furman hosts VMI in Greenville, S.C; Marshall will be at home in Huntington, West Virginia against The Citadel; and U.T.-Chattanooga travels to Johnson City to face East Tennessee State on its home court in the mini-dome. The winners from the first round games will meet in Roanoke, Va. February 29 and March 1 to decide the Southern Conference championship and the right to advance to the NCAA Tournament. Coach Steve Cottrell and his Catamounts had to sit around for two days following their heartstopping 73-71 win over U.T.-Chattanooga last Saturday night to find out who their first round opponent would be. It could have been The Citadel, but Marshall came from behind to defeat the Bulldogs in overtime. VMI would have made the trip to Cullowhee if they could have beaten top ranked Furman, but the Paladins would have no part of an upset and destroyed the Keydets, 107-75. So, that left ASU, the team that many had written off as even making the tournament a few weeks ago, to make the trip across the mountains. The Mountaineers were in ninth place two weeks ago with a 2-10 conference record and virtually eliminated Samples show asbestos in cafeteria ceiling At Brown Cafeteria there have been reports from the students that on various occassions they have noticed part of the ceiling of the cafeteria apparently peeling. At first, the thought of this did not stir up too much interest, then we looked one step further. Apparently the ceiling is covered by an asbestos type material capsulized by paint. Over the past year or two asbestos has come under the scrutiny of several government and independent research studies. It has been learned that asbestos can be harmful to human beings. Therefore is it feasible to have the roof of a large dining area covered by asbestos. It has been learned that cor samples of the asbestos and the substance used to seal in the asbestos were sent to two separate laboratories in North Carolina for analysis. According to Jim Culp the director of the physical plant here at WCU. the results show that the capsulment of the asbestos meets the standards set by North Carolina and should do so for the next five years. The question then is, even though the standards are met if the ceiling peels and the capsulment is gone is this not a health hazzard? Even if the capsulment is fine now it seems that there is still a potential health hazard in the asbestos ceiling. from the eight team tourney field. However, Coach Bobby Cremins and the defending Southern Conference champions picked themselves up off the floor following a 61-42 loss to the Catamounts in Reid Gymnasium three weeks ago and won five of their last six games, including four consecutive conference victories, and claimed sixth place in the final regular season standings. Only a two point loss to UNC-Charlotte on the road kept ASU from ending regular season play with a six-game win streak. The Cats aiso had their backs to the wall going into their last two games as they had jeopardized their hopes for a first round home court berth with road losses at Marshall and VMI. They returned home to face the two hottest teams, at that time, in the conference in East Tennessee State and U.T.-Chattanooga. The Whiz Kids or Cardiac Cats or whatever nickname you would like to use for Cottrell's freshman and sophomore laden team came through in the closing seconds of both games after watching leads disappear. A five point lead with 0:07 to play melted down to only two points with 0:02 showing and East Tennessee in possession of the basketball. The visiting Buccaneers missed a free throw and time ran out as the Cats prevailed, 82-80. Freshman Kenny Trimier, with a 9 for 9 shooting performance; scrappy Greg Dennis with his 18 points; freshman Ronnie "Radar" Carr, also with 18 from long range; and quarterback Kevin Young with his clutch free throws and assists, shared the spotlight. ihe Cats watched an eight point lead evaporate in the closing minutes of the UTC game. The Moccasin tied the game with 1:40 to play, 71-71, and Cottrell had his Dennis-less lineup spread it out for a last shot and ran the clock down to 0:12. A timeout was then called to setup the last shot and Kevin Young took a 12-footer with three seconds left and missed. However, he was fouled on the shot and, after a timeout by UTC, calmly canned two free throws. The Moccasins got the ball back with 0:02 left and after another timeout, got off a 15-foot baseline shot that looked in the basket before bouncing out. Dennis canned 16 of 18 free throws and 4 of 5 shots from the floor to lead the scoring with 24 points. Cottrell, who was on the road recruiting when he learned that his team would face ASU in the first round game, said the Catamounts drew the toughest assignment of the three possibilities. "First," he began, "the odds against one college basketball team beating another team three times in one season are really up there." "And," he adds, "they are the hottest team in the conference right now." Cottrell says, with deepening concern, that he has not been pleased with the manner in which his team has played, despite the two clutch wins, over the last two weeks. "We have not had a good game since we beat Appalachian State," he noted. "We did not play well against Marshall, VMI. East Tennessee and Chattanooga. . .we are definitely not at our peak right now and they (ASU) are," he emphasized. "We've got a lot of rough edges to iron out this week," he added. Western downed ASU, 77-75, in their first meeting at Boone when Kevin Young hit a short jump shot at the buzzer. The Cats pulled away in the second half of the game in Cullowhee three weeks ago to win going away, 61-42. WCU forward Greg Dennis was named Player of the Week in the Southern Conference last week after his outstanding performance against UT-Chattanooga. It was the third time at the top for the sophomore standout, who also leads the conference in scoring and free throw percentage. Photo by E.S. McDaniel WCU among top 10 for 'innovation' WASHINGTON — Selection of Western Carolina University as one of the nation's top 10 institutions in innovation and change in public higher education has been announced by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. Western was chosen for its CORE program—Community Oriented Regional Education—designed for graduates of two-year institutions who need a baccalaureate degree in business or technology as they move ahead in their careers. Started in 1977, the CORE program is conducted in cooperation with Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute, Catawba Valley Technical College, Western Piedmont Community College and Wilkes Community College. Western and nine other AASCU institutions were singled out from AASCU's 340 member institutions as finalists for the G. Theodore Mitau Award given in honor of the late head of the Minnesota State University System. Dr. H.F. Robinson, WCU chancellor, said the CORE program which involves teaching courses in the Morganton-Hickory area each week represents "our commitment to meet the educational needs of our older, working students by delivering courses in places at times convenient to them. We think this is a major responsibility of a regional university and are extremely pleased at the recognition by AASCU." In informing Robinson of the selection, AASCU president Allan W. Ostar wrote "your CORE program is certainly an excellent example of a successfully implemented program in the area of increasing access for students, and on behalf of the entire Association, I commend you for your contribution to higher education in this area." Administered through WCU's Division of Continuing Education, the CORE program now offers candidates Tum to Page 20, please.
