February 23,2000 SPORTS WESTERN CAROLINIAN 17 Hookdaddy and the Incredible Frankfurter Caper Thank You Students... It's About Damn Time In Monday nights win over the College of Charleston a first occurred. No, it wasn't the first time the Cats had beaten the Cougars in Cullowhee—they hold a 3-1 advantage over C of C in the Ramsey Center. No, it was the first time this season that students made a grand showing at a Catamount basketball game both in numbers and in voice. It was great to see all of the student groups, including the Greeks, athletes, and other students, coming out and actually creating a "college basketball environment." nity for being the most rowdy and numerous group in attendance. Unfortunately, and you should have known this was coming, why did it take the athletic department offering $200 to the group with the most fans to get you guys out there? Why don't students take pride in the athletics programs here at WCU? Don't you realize that you pay student fees to the athletic department... and you get in free? Regardless, thanks for your support and congratulations to the Pi Kappa Phi frater- Thank You Mr. Travis Prior to the Cats game Monday night, Athletics Director Larry Travis was presented with a plaque by senior Dondrell Whitmore, commemorating his eight years of service to the athletics department. Nearly in tears, Travis accepted the award and a great ovation by the Ramsey Center crowd. Travis will step down as the AD on March 15, with Jeffrey Compher assuming that position. Thank you Mr. Travis for your service these past years, which included running the athletics department with a balanced budget despite all of the "hand-cuffing" and restrictions set forth by the white house. Hello Mr. Compher Your mission should you choose to accept it... well, maybe not that dramatic ... As the newly appointed athletic director, I wish you all the luck in the world with the Western Carolina Athletics Department. .;:.;;;..;.;.;....;.:.:> ;-:-■...-. FUN What: agiipt way to make your own video and let loose with your Where: bottom floor of Dodson Cafeteria When: Wed.

Remember the old saying, you never really know someone until you've sat on the porch with them a while. Be wary of politicians posing as University officials. Self-interests and self-high-five's from the white house, not to mention hand-cuffing ultimatums are just a few of the obstacles that stand in your way in trying to make the Catamounts successful in the Southern Conference. We've got a great athletics staff here. I strongly urge you to talk to them. They are the ones on the front lines week in and week out. But I'm sure you'll do what's right. Once again, good luck! Hot dogs, in a more technical term, "wieners" (thanks for the history lesson on hot dogs, Mr. Sykes), are going for $2.00 ... $2.00 for frank! Oh, but wait, it's $2.25 for a Chili Dog. And they aren't even the "plump when you cook 'em" kind! But the rip-off doesn't stop there. They also charge a buck and a quarter for candy ... M&M's in the store run for less than a buck! Why is it that when a company like Aramark, who is the sole concessionaire of Ted Turner's namesake, Turner Field in Atlanta, takes over at a smaller venue like that here at WCU they must also import their prices? Guess they pride themselves on promoting, "Ripping off the baseball fans since 19-whatever." Well, since I've addressed the "hot-dog caper" here at WCU, I must also address P.S. I suggest you take the Task Force Report and use it to even up your desk ... that's about all it's good for. Thanks. Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Meyer wiener Isn't the game of baseball great? It's the Great American Past-time, minus the 1994 greedy baseball strike, of course. There's nothing better than sitting out at the ballpark on a warm spring afternoon, cold beverage in hand, warm hot-dog and peanuts in the other. It's a great atmosphere. And I must also say that I get chills when I watch "Field of Dreams" and hear James Earl Jones's soliloquy on baseball. The season for the paid players is in its infancy with spring ball in destination cities around the south, both east and west, starting. However, the "boys of summer" here in Cullowhee are in full swing with their season. Just this past weekend, the Cats swept the Wright State Raiders in dramatic, overpowering fashion. Yet, the drama wasn't only limited to the field. Aramark Food Services, the ones who brought you the changes at Brown, and for that matter, the wonderful food supplier of the entire campus, have taken over the food service and concessions down at Childress Field. Okay ... cool. That'll help our understaffed game day operations staff with that part of the event. Yet, it's when you take a look at the menu that the positive changes end. the age old question; why is it that hot dogs come in packs of six while the buns come in packs of eight? Maybe that's where the extra buck comes into play ... who knows ... Closing the DUMP-nasium This weekend, the Western Carolina men's basketball team travels to Boone, NC (unfortunately), to take on the reeling Boone Vocational Mountaineers. The game marks the final game to be played in their "historic" (which is a politically correct way of saying it sucks) Varsity Gym, a.k.a. the DUMP-nasium. As I mentioned in a column earlier this semester, wouldn't it be great for Coach Phil Hopkins and the Catamounts to shut the doors forever on the gym with a W for WCU? As a former Catamount coach, Maria Fantanarosa once said ... "their fight song sounds like a polka. If we win, I'll dance a polka on that big A'." I don't know about you, but Coach Hopkins doing the Pink Flamingo to Mombo #5 all across the gym would be nice! Quoting Alumni I received an e-mail the other day from a Western Carolina University Alumnus and a Catamount faithful. It read, and of course, I quote, "If Chancellor Bardo keeps having his way with the athletic department, they should rename the big black glass building the "Jon Benet" Ramsey Regional Activity Center." Hmmm ... ouch!
