Being a part of Western Carolina Universitys base- ball team is not completely fun and games. Just like ev- ery team or organized sport clubs, the players have cer- tain rules or standards to live by, according to head baseball coach Bobby Mo- randa. Our team doesnt nec- essarily have rules, its more standards they must follow, Moranda said. Everything we say usually goes by the Student Athlete Handbook. These are rules such as no under-age drinking, no smoking, or use of any kind of tobacco products. They players do not have a set curfew ,; when. on campus, but coaches encourage play- ers to get a healthy amount of sleep, especially before a game. When we travel we have a curfew, Moranda said. The players have to be at the hotel and in their rooms by a certain time. _ For the players who vio- late the ee Coach Mo- Local real estate developer hasn't : ijn Alexander, Staff Writer '- (Editor's Note: The fol- lowing is the first of a series of Gtticles by Western Caro- linian writers that look at Western Carolina Univer- sity 5 loyal fans. 2308 miles.

Coach Moranda said he sociation here at Western Carolina University. He commuted 2308" miles to fulfill his duties as president of that association. That fact alone sums up everything you need to know about Van Slayton: he is an incredible supporter of this university. Slayton was the first scholarship place kicker in the history of the WCU football program. As the Catamounts placekicker, he set a conference record for field goals made in a season, wish his ee make eine has never had a difficult time enforcing rules.
