  • Volume fifty-two Number six Thursday, September 4,1986 (704)227-7267 P.O.Box66 Cullowhee,NC 28723 CO ON TAP The proportion of women entering medical schools has increased from less than 10% in 1969 to more than 33% in 1985, according to a recent report from the Association of American Medical Colleges. Reading, reasoning and personal enthusiasm are the most important skills and traits for prospective employees, according to a new national survey of small business computer users conducted by the Standford U. School of Education. Technical training, the survey found, is no substitute for these attributes. Standford cares is a student-run fundraiser for AIDS education and research organized after a Standford U. student died of the disease. A recent fundraising event, held at the university president's house, cleared about $30,000, later donated to various organizations combating AIDS. A survey of 1970's liberal arts grads found 90% satisfied with their occupations- - and most say their education has a lot to do with their satisfaction. The dean of the College 6f Arts and Sciences at the U. of Indiana, (where the study was conducted) says, "Liberal learning is not just an elitist's fancy, it really does work to produce folks who can deal with problems of the world." Teen-age girls who know the facts of life and have access to birth control postpone sex longer and are less likely to get pregnant than girls who don't, according to a three-year study by John Hopkins U. researchers. "This proves once and for all that exposure to good counseling and responsible sexual behavior will actually help delay sexual activity," says Laurie Schwab Zabin, the study's director. j Another guaranteed education offer: I This time from Southwestern Michigan College, a two-year school offering to refund the tuition for any course passed with a C or better if the student is unable to transfer the credit to a four-year school. The college will also provide up to 16 hours of additional training for any graduate of its technical programs who, judged by his employer, lacks the requisite entry-level skills. The International Committee against Racism, a student group at the U. of California-Los Angeles, may be banned from campus for producing flyers that advocated using physical violence against a conservative student group called Nemesis. Arrested and charged with purgeiy. A four-month grand jury investigation has resulted in the arrest of five Long Island U. students - the alleged victims of paddle beatings and other hazing - who've refused to cooperate with the district attorney, saying they had never complained to school officials. LIU officials believe the five were pressured by other members of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity to change their stories. The DA says fraternities can't hide behind codes of silence. All disciplinary charges against U. of Texas students arrested in last April's anti- apartheid rallies will be dropped. The announcement came in conjunction with a university committee's recomendations for improving the school's free speech atmosphere - although dropping charges was not one of them. U. of Wisconsin-Madison's chancellor has withdrawn his earlier approval of a Union magazine sales plan that excluded Playgirl, Playboy, and Penthouse by banning the sale of all monthly magazines. About 50 publications were affected. A committee to determine the Union's sales plan must now meet again; meanwhile the magazines remain off the racks. Two sex-relationship courses have been dropped by Cerritos College after a college board member questioned their appropriateness. The courses are offered at several other area colleges INSIDE Campus and Local 2 State and National 3 Perspectives 4 Editor's Notebook International Affairs 6 Arts and Entertainment 8-11 People 12-13 Guilds is New Features "We Played Well Enough to Win ThiS One." -Coach Bob Waters Chris Gels Sports Writer BOONE, Aug. 30— The weather and the Western Carolina football team surprised just about everyone in the record crowd of 22,618 here at Conrad Stadium Saturday afternoon. Instead of the 80 degree heat thatjiad been expected for this college football season opener, an October chill was in the air. And rather than the blowout that was supposed to be, the Catamounts gave a highly ranked Appalachian team a dogfight despite falling short, 17-13. For nearly a full half, the Catamounts held a veteran Mountaineer offense without a point, and it was not until John Settle concluded a six-play, 80- yard drive with 9:52 leftinthe game did Appalachian take its first lead. Western was at the Appalachian two-yard line, in the midst of a six-minute drive that had taken the Catamounts from their own 28. Their lead was 10-0 on the strength of a Kirk Roach field goal and a touchdown pass from guarterback Wilie Perkins to running back David Mayfield. A score at this late juncture of the half could have put Appalachian in a deep hole and kept the momentum with Western Carolina. On third and goal, Mayfield was stopped short on an inside run, and Waters called for a timeout. He opted to go for the six points instead of the field goal, and Mayfield was stopped for no gain on a dive over the top. "Looking back on it now, I wish I had gone for the field goal," Waters said. "We should have scored there." receptions for 82 yards, and split end Vencent Nowell caught three for 63. Perkins finished the day 20 of 30 with 218 yards, one interception and one touchdown — a welcome performance considering his inconsistency last year. But on that drive of 80 yards he wasn't able to convert on a third-and-12 situation, and Wester settled for a 36-yard field goal from Kirk Roach that gave them a 13-10 advantage. Appalachian State took the ball right back down the field, with five runs from Settle and a 61-yard pass completion from Payton to wide receiver Warded Jefferson. Settle's last run was for two yards and six points, and Appalachian had its final margin of victory, 17-13. A last-ditch rally by Western fell short when "IrVe played well enough to win this one," Western's Coach Bob Waters said, losing the game, but not with the way we played." Tm dissapointed in All of which was suprising considering that Appalachian State was ranked fifth in the nation in l-AA by The Associated Press and No. 1 in Sports llustrated's preseason poll. Western Carolina, on the other hand, was pretty much the same team that was 4-6-1 last, including a 27-14 loss to the Mountaineers in Cullowhee. Said Appalachian coach Sparky Woods: "That's the play that sticks out in my mind — holding at the one-yard line. That got us going and kept us from being down even worse." The adrenaline having swung over to the other side, Western's defensive unit, which did a fine job all day of containing quarterback Todd Payton and Perkins' pass on fourth and 11 with two minutes left went through the hands of Carmichael inside the Mountaineers' 30. "Two or three breaks, and we would have had a different story," Waters said. "I thought we regained the momentum well, though. The fact that we did play well, with a lot of emotion, is a good sign. We'll have to bounce back and take the loss, but the This was one of the best first game performances we've had since I'Ve been at Western.' "We played well enough to win this one," Western coach Bob Waters said. "I'm dissapointed in losing the game, but not with the way we played. We weren't really sure what to expect from thisteam, with the young players and not depth. We were looking for positive performances, and we got a lot of them today." While Wafers had plenty of reason to be encouraged with the Cats' performance, he couldn't help but think back to a crucial set of downs late in the first half that would have won the game. With aboutfourand ahalf minutes left in the half, running back Settle, spent the last four minutes of the half on thefield. Payton hit fullback Doug Beattyfora 32-yard gain with less than a minute to play, enabling the Mountaineers' Bjorn Nittmo, a sophmore import from Lomma, Sweden, to connect on a 54-yard field goal as time ran out. The Mountaineers simply wore down the Cats in the second half. Settle, whose 103 yards gave him 13 career games of 100 or more yards rushing, scored from 15 yards out at 6:34 in the third, and Nittmo's kick tied up, 10-10. Perkins did bring the Cats back late in the third as he did all day: by completing short-to-medium- range passes. His biggest target was tight end Alonzo Carmichael, who finished with seven positive part is that we played good football and did a lot of good things. "That was one of the best first game performances we've had since I've been at Western," he added. , Woods said: "I am very proud of our team the way they fought back. At no time did our players think we were out of the game. We played a very, very fine Western Carolina team, and we had to come from behind iust like we did last year." The Catamounts' schedule gets even more difficult. Western's next game wil be Sept. 13 in Columbia, S.C., against South Carolina. Following the home opener Sept. 27 against Newberry comes an Oct. 4 contest at Auburn of the Southeastern Conference. Sometimes the pressures of being a college student can get to you. Buddy Dean, an undeclared major hailing from Cashiers-our neighbor just around the bend, knows how to cope however. A quick snooze between classes is just Mike Doerner ghoto what the doctor ordered. And where better to grab a quickie than on the cool wall between Hoey Auditorium and the Stilwell Science Building. The Western Carolinian Striving to be the best we can be. Some men see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say, why not? ■Robert F. Kennedy
