Western Carolinian/March 3, 1983 7 Steve Surles by Willie Dawkins He sat in a green cushioned arm-chair in a relaxed manner, hands behind head, legs crossed, and his face wore boyish expression. His name is Steve Surles. a graduate assistant working in the Sports Information office here at Western. Surles is a twenty-six vear old native of Roseboro, North Carolina, located in Sampson county, and grew up on a tobacco farm. Anyone familiar with the work and discipline it takes to cultivate a farm knows that a certain character and personality emerges and molds a unique individual; one who adheres to a task; one who is friendly; one who performs to the best of his abilities at all tunes. Steve Surles is a product shaped by that mold. Surles began his college career in 1975 at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, where he remained for one semester. While at UNC-W Surles became "restless and wanted to go somewhere a good distance from home." This desire to leave UNC-W landed Surles on the campus of Western Carolina University. In May of 1979 Surles graduated with a BA degree in English. But during his senior year, Surles decided that he wanted to get into the sports business. The affiliation with the WCU athletic department was made possible by Steve White, a communication specialist now serving his thirteenth year in the WCU Sports Information office. Surles worked as a "gopher" during his two year sports infancy. He would go for this and that, doing minimal jobs. But by undertaking odd jobs. Surles grew in experience and upon graduation from Western, he began to cast about glances for whatever light there was in the sports writing tunnel. However, for the time being those glances seemed to redirect themselves and landed on a female named Donna Garrett, a Murphy, North Carolina native. Surles and Garrett exchanged vows in October of 1979, which sealed the graduation gift for Surles. From May to July of 1981, Surles increased his experience by working part-time with the Sylva Herald. Then a promising glimmer of light appeared in in tunnel, and the wick was held by Ken Garfield, managing editor at Laurens County Advertising in Laurens, South Carolina. Garfield was looking for a sports editor, and Surles found himself with the job. During his association with Laurens County Advertising, Surles covered sports for three area high schools and Presbyterian College. One of his biggest achievements came when he won the South Carolina Press Association Award, a prestigious honor which gave Surles a great deal of self-confidence. Surles' stay with the advertising company lasted one year. Then, as Surles said, "The WCU athletic department made it attractive for me to come back to Cullowhee." So in August of 1982 the WCU graduate returned to Western and now finds himself in the Sports Information office, for a second time. His wife Donna is now gainfully employed as a clerk typist in the Cooperative Education office. Quotes Steve Surles (photo by Mark Haskett) Surles has alot of respect for the people that surround him now. With a look of truth in his eyes. Surles only had positive things to sav about his working mates. "I'm associated with the best people in the business," he satti. "And I can't imagine anyone better to work under than Steve White. I he work that I do is not even a drop in the bucket compared to what he does." Surles does carry his share of that drop in the bucket, though. A few of the tasks on his shoulders are doing short press releases, gathering and releasing information concerning WCU sports teams, and doing sports reports when they need to be done. Surles also keeps statistics at football, basketball, and baseball games. "I try to work hard at keeping the sports information going to the right people," said a serious Surles. Some of these people include Asheville newspapers, WRGC radio station, and WLOS-TV. The strength of character that emerged from the farmwork seemed to remain intact throughout Surles' life. This same strength allows him to partake in mundane jobs, like emptying garbage cans after games. "I never think about things as being too mundane. I do things if they need to be done." said Surles. "After working on a farm not too many tasks seem mundane to me." At present. Surles continues to work on his Masters degree and is a bit uncertain about his future plans. But the graduate assistant says that he really enjoys being around college athletics. Whatever his future is to be, Steve Surles will definately find the light at the end of the tunnel. "...'The difference between a Republican and a Democrat is that Democrats tend to be bright and Republicans tend to be si upid... I found an interesting collaboration for this thesis in a speech delivered by John Stuart Mills to the British Parliament. Mills said "I never meant to say that Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to sav that stupid people are generally conservative." ' "-Former Secretary of State Ache ion in "Who's on hirst" by William F.
