The sports section at the WC does a fine job of covering the events and the players. However, the time has come. The Catamounts' last home game is this weekend on Saturday. This should prove to be quite thrilling. Coach Benny Dees and the Catamounts have taken hold of this university. They have turned fair weather athletic supporters into fans who come to games and support the fine players we have this year. And Dees even has his own fan club who dress and "look" like him. There have been more people attending games in the Ramsey Center this year than ever. Congratulations, Coach Dees and players. You have succeeded in turning apathy into appreciation. You may say, "So what?" The point is this: With Frankie King (one of the nation's leading scorers), BJ1hompson,McCollum and VanDeMark its almost more excitement than Cullowhee can stand! All of the players are playing well this year. They may not win every game, but they play like their lives are at stake. When was the last time you heard someone say, "There's NOTHING to do here. All it does is rain." Well, there is no cure for trteW.eC.arryJimbrellablues. But there is one last chance for all you b-ball athletic supporters to have something to do in Cullowhee on a (probably rainy) Saturday. Attending a game is also a great way to relieve some stress! During the last home game, Thompson was purposefully fouled by number four, Darrell Jones, who plays for the East Tennessee Buccaneers. After that unsportsmanlike incident the crowd had great fun harassing Jones. He was booed every time he touched the ball. Eventually, he got too many fouls and had to warm the bench with his spineless hiney. I had terrific fun joining in the booing and yelling at the referees to kick his mean, spiteful butt out of the game. This was stress management at its best. Line-cutting can even lead to racism The consequences of our actions are often more far-reaching than we imagine. For instance, what happens when you cut in line at the cafeteria or permita friend to cut in front of you? Many of the people behind you consider line-cutting rude, and your behavior makes these people angry. Now what happens if you are part of an easily identifiable group participating in this line-cutting behavior? Those angry people behind you are angry at you, but they are also tempted to be angry at the group you are part of. This extension of their anger is neither rational nor fair, but it's the way the human mind often works. So, if you are clearly part of a group of athletes, your behavior may encourage the people behind you to hold uncomplimentary stereotypes about athletes. If you are wearing your fraternity or soror ity shirts, the same hostility may fall on your fraternity, sorority or on all fraternities or sororities. If you are a faculty member, the same very damaginggeneralizations can ensue. And if you have brown skin, you may be fomenting racism in the minds of many of the people who are made angry by line-cutting. You may say thatl toe-cutting is no big deal, that it is innocuous social behavior, but you will get DANELL MOSES Editor This game will also be televised. Just think of how many of your loved ones will see your "my baby's gone to college" face! For a good two or three hour escape this weekend, be sure to come pull for the Cats. Other activities are also planned to enjoy that day. I'll see you there. I only wish I had a Benny's Bunch t-shirt to wear! lots of disagreement from a lot of people who find it very rude. What can you do? Simple. Don't ask to cut in line, and, when your friends ask to cut in, volunteer to go to the back of the line with them. Ifyour^rrmtcuttingin line and you are part of an identifiable group, you may be helping to breed hatred, intolerance and even racism, behaviors that we should all try to avoid fomenting.
