Winthrop to premier fall festival By JEFFREY WOODALL TJ news reporter

W i n t h r o p ' s f i r s t fall festival, an assortment of exhibits, shows, sales, music and athletic events will be Saturday, Nov. 5 for studen-ts, staff, faculty and the community.

The festival is primarily geared to create community a w a r e n e s s of W i n t h r o p . "We're inviting everyone to come out and have fun, find out what Winthrop is all about and to raise money for fu tu re scholarships," said John Presto, vice-president for Administrative Services.

He added that money will be raised through donations, fees and commissions from the festival activities.

C a m p u s o f f i c e s , organizations and academic offices have made initial plans for the events, said Jeff Mann, dean of s tudents. Some highlights will be as follows:

A student ar t exhibit and sale will be held in Rutledge. Fifteen percent of all sales will go towards scholarships. Students interested in par-ticipating in the show should contact Ed Lewandowski, Ar t department chairman.

Music and dance enter-

tainment will be provided on t h e s t e p s of B y r n e s Auditorium by the Ebonite Gospel Choir, the Desperado Band, the Winthrop Jazz Ensemble and the Happy Track Cloggers.

SGA will sponsor the Steel Eagle Biatholofi, con-sisting of a five kilometer foot race and a f i f t e e n kilometer bicycle race. The race will be made up of two member teams. Fee for the biatholon is f ive dol lars which includes a T-shirt.

A talent show will be sponsored by DSU in Byrnes Auditorium. Bunny Duke,

Special Events Chairperson, said, "We're looking for all types of talent and we're hoping for a lot of student participation."

The Winthrop Eagles will host a basketball scrimmage and a clinic at Peabody Gym. The team is inviting area high schools to participate.

Lastly, there will be a video presentation on the life of D.B. Johnson, the first president of Winthrop, in the Joynes Center for Con-tinuing Education and a lec-ture on the history of Win-

throp College by the York County Historical Society.

"This list is certainly not final and is still subject to change," Pres to said.

"I t 's a great reason to st ay for the weekend ," Mann said.

S t u d e n t s a n d organizations interested in pa r t i c ipa t i ng in the fall festival should contact Dean Mann at 2251 by the October 4 deadline for events.

Pres to hopes the festival will generate goodwill for Winthrop. "It will help build bet ter lasting relations with the s u r r o u n d i n g com-munities."

A p p r o x i m a t e l y 4 0 0 s tudents voted in the Senate and freshman class elections held last Wednesday at the polls set up in Thomson C a f e t e r i a and Dinkins Student Center. Fifty-nine s tudents ran for forty-five open senate positions.

Mary Thomas , election board c h a i r p e r s o n , sa id , "This year, most positions were filled, except for five day student positions and one Thomson position for Senate. Rick Moore, SGA vice president, will appoint these individuals into the positions."

Lee Wicker , M a r g a r e t Nance , The W i n t h r o p Lodge, and Phelps resident hall senators were appoin-ted to their positions. No elections were held for these dormitories because of lack of s tudent com petition.

Lee Wicker Senators are: "Ann Mary Carley, Cathy Murphy and Krist i Som-mers.

Margaret Nance Senators a re Becky Cameron and Monnie Whitson.

Student raped, professor assaulted By JEFF STANLEY TJ editor

A female W i n t h r o p s tudent was raped in the parking lot of an insurance agency in the early morning of Sept. 17.

The girl, along with a f ema le companion , was r e t u r n i n g home f rom O'Sullivans, a local night-club, when a man wearing a ski mask jumped them from behind, and forced the two g i r l s to d i s robe at knifepoint.

The incident occurred in a parking lot approximately 50 feet on the side of the Winthrop Lodge f u r t h e s t away from the main campus.

Accord ing io t he two

s tudents the man ran off when the second girl began to scream.

The girls ran to the lodge and phoned the Publ ic Safety Office. Shortly Public Safety officers arrived, and had an ambulance take the g i r l s to the P i e d m o n t Medical C e n t e r . Both women were released from the hospital and a r e in satisfactory condition.

"If people m a k e the assumption that they're ab-solutely safe at Winthrop or in Rock Hill, they're not correct," Dean of Students Jeff Mann said. "We want to provide a safe environment, but we can't make it ab-solutely safe."

Bob Williams, chief of

Public Safety, gives three m e a s u r e s to a t t e m p t to deter rape. "I strongly recommend s tudents walk in groups of two or more, and if you're walking at night try to walk in the lighted areas. Also, it is a good idea to carry a whistle."

According to Will iams there has not been a repor-ted rape on campus in the 20 years he's been at Winthrop.

The incident is under in-vestigation by the Rock Hill Police Department.

A WINTHROP Professor walking with his wife near the Rutledge building was assaulted on the evening of Sept. 15.

A suspect, who is not a Winthrop student, has been

apprehended. The professor and his wife

w e r e wa lk ing ou t s ide Rutledge when a car went by and suddenly backed up with a car door open.

The p r o f e s s o r ' s wife requested that the man in the car close his door before another car gets damaged.

The man in the car replied with an obscenity, and the professor requested that the man leave Winthrop's cam-pus.

The man in the car step-ped out and hit the p r o f e s s o r , b r e a k i n g his glasses, then left.

By using the license tag number, which the professor remembered, a suspect was apprehended.

Winthrop freshmen and sophomores with at least a 2.5 average are eligible to apply for the nat ional s t u d e n t e x c h a n g e which enables students to spend their sophomore or junior year at one of 55 or 60 universities in the United States and the Virgin Islan-ds.

Students must apply by February 15, 1984, to ex change the following school year.

Applications include the selection of three colleges and payment of a $35.00 process with fee.

J e f f Mann, Dean of Students, said, "The oppor tunity here is great . Studen-ts gel a chance to see a dif-ferent part of the United States as Hawaii, California, or Colorado."

Out-of-state tuition is not required in this program. " W i n t h r o p s t u d e n t s con-tinue to pay fees to this college. Also those receiving financial aid will continue to do so," Mann said.

"However, you do have to

pay room and board to that school," Christina Grabiel, Assistant Dean of Students said.

One advantage on this program is that transferring credits is not a problem. "Before you go, you plan your courses with your ad-visor," said Grabiel. "Plus, the exchange program cuts through the red tape," Mann said.

Information for selecting colleges and courses is available in Grabiel's office, located upstairs in Dinkins.

There is a video tape that gives an overview of the program.

Winthrop College is one of two institutions in S.C. to of-fer the exchange program. The program is in its third year of operation here.

"This puts us in an elite group of colleges," Mann said. "We are popular in the program because of our academics and location."

This year Winthrop is host ing five exchange students and eight of our s t u d e n t s a re at o the r schools.

"I'd like to see twice as

many for next year," said Grabiel.

Merle Mack, Trish Eason, Kim Molty, Lee Dolly and Paula Le Clair a r e the National Exchange Students at Winthrop this year.

A jun io r f rom South Dakota S t a t e Universi ty, Mack is m a j o r i n g in Economics. " I wanted a school that was smaller," Mack said. "This exchange program will give Winthrop s tudents a chance to realize there is a world outside of South Carolina."

"The people here are open and they make me feel at home," said Eason , a marketing major from the U n i v e r s i t y of N o r t h e r n Iowa.

Molty, an English major from the University of Nor-thern Colorado, said, "I like Winthrop and the teachers a lot."

Winthrop senior Dee Dee Perry was a national ex-change s tudent last year at Bowling G r e e n S t a t e University. "I enjoyed going to a larger school with more o p p o r t u n i t i e s . S t u d e n t s there didn't go home on weekends," Per ry said.

Gov. Riley to speak on educa t ion South Carolina Governor

Dick Riley will speak on "Prob lems In Educat ion" Wednesday , 6 p.m. a t Sullivan Junior High School. The event will be an open forum inviting students and the community.

This forum will be one of

seven the governor has planned around the state.

Riley plans to unveil an e d u c a t i o n i m p r o v e m e n t s package in November.

"I believe we in South Carolina must come to the

rea l iza t ion t h a t any progress we make in the area of economic develop-ment must go hand-in-hand with a move to ensure a qual i ty publ ic school education for each person in the s ta te ," Gov. Riley has said.

COME OUT AND DANCE

The Johnsonian, Monday, September 26,1983, Page 3

West scholarships awarded The West Foundation has

awarded $5,000 in scholar-ships to Winthrop students, a n n o u n c e d W i n t h r o p President Phil Lader.

The Wes t Foundat ion , established in 1974, is prin-cipally involved in inter-national affairs. Although it has supported Winthrop's Model United Nations in pa s t y e a r s , t h e c u r r e n t award is the first scholar-ship funds made available by the Founda t i on to t h e College.

Mrs. Loid Rhayme West, a Winthrop alumna and out-s tanding s tuden t a thle te , met on campus last week with President Lader and T imothy Knowles , the College's Vice President for Institutional Advancement, to discuss the relationship between the Foundation and

the College. She is the wife of John C. West, former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia.

Recipient s tuden t s and the i r p a r e n t s have been notified, and the funds will

be credi ted toward each s tudent 's College account.

L a d e r said t h a t " T h e West Foundation's interest in our College will allow some especia l ly needy s tudents to continue their studies at Winthrop."

A day of d a n c e Winthrop Dance Theatre

will present the "Annual Day of Dance" this Saturday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. in the Peabody Dance Studio.

"The purpose of the day of dance is to invite people to enjoy dance in its various forms and to encourage par-ticipation in dance," said Dr. Joanne Lunt, Winthrop dan-ce instructor.

S e v e r a l col leges f rom South and North Carolina have been invited to at tend.

Know your college By RON CIIEPKSIUK Archives

If you at tended Win-throp between the years 1886 and 1955, then, like students a t other s ta te colleges for women and some private schools, you would have had to wear a uniform. The idea behind the regulation was a good one. The 1896-97 Win-throp catalog stated that the uniform "promotes economy and does ?.way with all distinctions that could o t h e r w i s e ex i s t from different conditions. The richest girl in our school canno t be dist inguished from the poorest."

A uniform committee was established which set regulations for clothing styles. Very little escaped the attention of the com-

mittee, but national and world wide t r e n d s in fashion were influential in the type of uniform worn.

By the 1950's many facu l ty and s t u d e n t s questioned the wearing of un i fo rms . In 1954, President Henry R. Sims r e c o m m e n d e d to t h e Board of Trustees that the college abolish the requirement, despite the fact that a majority of s tudents had voted the p reced ing s e m e s t e r to retain the navy-blue and white uniform.

On January 10, 1955 President Sims made a f o r m a l a n n o u n c e m e n t that Winthrop was en-tering the last semester in which the un i fo rm dress would be required.

The above photo shows a Winthrop s tudent in uniform in the 1890's.

including Clemson, UNCC, Coker, Columbia College and Lander.

Lunt said, "This is the fir-s t dance event for colleges in the s ta te this year."

Theresa Jackson, s tudent coordinator for this year 's dance day, said tha t the events will be as follows: 8:30-9:30 a.m.. Registration in Peabody: 9:30-10 a.m.. Stretch Class; 10-11:30 a.m., Master Class-Modern Dan-ce: 11:30:12:20 p.m., Begin-ning Modern Dance and Ex-pe r i enced I m p r o v i s a t i o n : 1:30-2:15 p.m., Intermediate Advanced Modern Dance; 2:30-3 p.m., "Show and Tell"; 3-4 p.m., Jazz and Liturgial Dance.

EDITORIALS Bad publicity should have been avoided

I)r. David Rankin gave a lest to one of his Writing 101 classes and another professor, who Rankin refuses to name, gave the test to one of his writing 101 classes and the results may have detrimental effects on Winlhrop and Winthrop graduates.

Wo feel that the lest was not valid and should not have been used in the manner it was by the President. Even if Lader had meant the test only to be an example in explaining thai the education system in South Carolina was inadequate, using the results of Rankin's qui/ was a poor choice.

On the test four students did not know from which direction the sun rose, and four students were unable to answer the question that asked what large body of water is next to Myrtle Beach. From this we would have to conclude that four students were clowning around.

When students are handed a test and told not to put their names on it and that the test won't count against them, chances are not everyone will lake the lest seriously.

With Ihe idea thai the lest was not taken seriously by all (he students, the results become invalid and should have not been used in the way they were by Lader.

It would have been possible for Lader to have used Ihe results without using the name Winlhrop. For example he could have said. "In a recent test, results showed l h a t . . . "

There was no need to use the name Winlhrop. Due to the speech and Ihe recognition it received, a newspaper in

Charleston has called students at Winlhrop ignorant.

Rankin states quiz intentions By CHARLES AIM'LE TJ contributing edilor

Last week, this column posed q u e s t i o n s a b o u t Pres iden t Lader ' s presen-tation in which he called this year 's Winthrop f reshman class "unprepared."

In t h a t ed i to r i a l , th i s repor ter stated that Lader may have had good inten-tions when he noted the s t a t e of W i n t h r o p ' s in-coming freshman class, yet he erred when he publicized the resul ts of an in-class "quiz" supposedly conducted by W i n t h r o p E n g l i s h professor David Rankin.

The move was a blatant a t t e m p t a t headl ine-grabbing. It cast a negative cloud over the ent i re Win-throp community, and this year 's f reshman class in par-ticular. And it may have done g rea t harm to Win-t h r o p ' s r e p u t a t i o n as an academic insti tution.

A n y o n e look ing for evidence to suppor t this need look no fu r the r than the editorial pages of the Charleston News and Courier of Sep tember 9.

In a copyrighted editorial, the paper s ta ted : "There can be no d o u b t t h a t such i g n o r a n c e c o n d e m n s t h e

public school system in this s t a t e t h a t s u p p o s e d l y prepares young people for college. On the other hand, t h e fac t t h a t such i g n o r a m u s e s had already been accepted at Winthrop doesn' t say much for that in-s t i t u t i o n ' s e n t r y r e q u i r e m e n t s . " ( the em-phasis is theirs).

It would seem that the d a m a g e to W i n t h r o p ' s reputat ion has already been done. When a newspaper as far away from Rock Hill as Charleston is prompted to call W i n t h r o p s t u d e n t s " ignoramuses," the point is driven home even more.

Letters to the editor Reputation

Disliked

Dear Editor, This is in reference to the

"Quiz Publicity Harmful" ar-ticle that appeared in the last issue of The Johnsonian.

First of all, we would like to commend Charles Apple on the thorough job he p r e s e n t e d . He obv ious ly researched the topic with the utmost care.

We as concerned students of Winthrop College would like to add to his commen-ta ry and to The Johnsonian r eade r s the editorial that

appeared in the Charleston News and Courier a f t e r Pres ident Lader gave his speech to the Democratic women's group.

Af t e r citing several of the quest ionnaire samples and the resul ts of Dr. Rankin's t e s t , the edi tor ia l wr i t e r said, "There can be no doubt t h a t such ignorance con-d e m n s the publ ic school sys tem in this s ta te that supposedly p repa res young people for college. On the other hand, the fact that such i g n o r a m u s e s had already been accepted at Winthrop doesn' t say much for tha t inst i tut ion's ent ry

requi rements ." We as s tuden t s are in-

s u l t e d by b e i n g called "ignoramuses".

Isn ' t it a nice thought that one of our potential em-ployers may possibly have formed an opinion about our W i n t h r o p g r a d u a t e s by reading such a s t a t ement as this.

As president , Mr. Lader should be playing up Win-throp 's s t r eng ths and not its weaknesses. Mr. Lader 's ap-pa ren t lack of foresight was inexcusable.

Respectfully, Wendy Wingard

J im Chapman

And if one thinks the wor st is over, just wait until November. According to the Winthrop Public Affairs Of-fice, that is when the NBC documentary will be a i red-a documentary that includes an intervit:vv with Lader conducted in his on-campus home September b.

Rankin, however, suppor-ted his claims of inferior public education in South Caro l ina and s u p p o r t e d Lader 's use of the College as an example to improve the system.

"The best reason to go public with the data was to t rans la te just what 700 and 800 SAT scores rea l ly m e a n , " said Rank in . "Someone needed to show w h a t p r e p a r a t i o n t h e s e s tudents have had and to open some eyes on a big problem. Lader knows full well that he wants to do something 'down the road' about this. And I think in th ree or four months, Win-throp College will come out of this thing with a pret ty positive image.

"If there ' s something Lhat can be done, Lader will do it," added Rankin. "That 's encouraging."

Does Rankin feel Lader used the quiz solely for its sensationalism? "That might be w h a t it t a k e s , " said R a n k i n , " t o c h a n g e the system."

Rankin is disturbed that the emphasis has shifted to

the quiz itself. He says the focus shou ld be on the problems of public education in South Carolina.

"Co l l ege Board Scores peaked in 1963 and there 's been a s teady decline for the past 20 years ," Rankin said. "There ' s been a t remendous w a t e r i n g down of High School curriculum instead of a s t ress ing of basics. Some s t u d e n t s have w r i t t e n a paper every week or ten days while o t h e r s wrote maybe one or two papers in two years ."

As for the quiz itself, Rankin explained the cir-cumstances sur rounding it. " I t w a s on v e r y s h o r t notice," he said. "Lader in-vited some of us to lunch and asked us to get some data together for a presentat ion he was giving."

Rankin tallied the resul ts of the quiz in only one of his c l a s s e s , no t in t w o as originally r epor t ed . In fact, Rankin said he only teaches one r e g u l a r s e c t i o n of writ ing 101 this semes ter .

Which brings up an in-te res t ing point: last week, Rankin said t ha t the fresh-men in the part icular classes used in Lader ' s presentat ion would never know the quiz was t h e i r s spec i f i c a l l y . Rankin s ta ted tha t he gave the quiz to all of his classes. Later , however, Rankin ad-mitted he teaches only one

Professor idolitry rampant By RENEE WALSER Special to TJ

My friend Annie Nigma confided in me the other day that she has been seeing a psycholog is t , Dr . Ian Cognito, for four years. I have known Annie for some time now and always knew that her bread was not quite done, but I had had never believed her to be in need of professional help - so I tried not to look distressed at her disclosure. Quite tactfully I asked, "What in heavens do you need a shrink for, Sybil . . . uh, I mean, Annie?" and inched away to a somewhat safer distance.

"Well, I've never told you, but I was diagnosed my freshman year as having Acute Professor Idolatry."

"No k idd ing , " I sym-pathized, "yeah, some of my profs are kinda cute, but I've never thought of having an affair with any of them."

"No, no, no . . . not adultery . . . idolatry. You see, I have always worship-ped intellectuals, but unfor-t u n a t e l y t h a t over-whelming adoration manifests itself in the s t rangest man-ner. Intelligence intimidates me, so whenever I'm called upon in class, for instance, I

Rankin-

usually make a complete fool of myself."

"Oh, yeah, you mean like the day our phi losophy professor asked you to ex-plain the meaning of life and you just sat there with your tongue hanging out and slobber drooling down your chin. You know, I wondered what was wrong with you because we had just an-swered tha t question the other night while watching the Braves' game:"

"Tha t ' s what I mean," Annie bemoaned. "I knew the answer, but all of a sud-den my palms got sweaty and my tongue grew to three times its normal size and everything sorta went dark. It happens a lot."

"Wel l , w h a t did Dr. Cognito prescribe?"

"Firs t of all, he told me I had nothing to be ashamed of. Evidently, API is a com-mon disease which afflicts three-fourths of the student popula t ion . H o w e v e r , there 's not much that the victim can do for himself."

"What are some of the warning signals of API, An-nie?"

"Cognito says it's up to the professor to be alert and watch for symptoms in or-der to facilitate early detec-

tion. For instance, a s tudent who is habitually late for class or frequently absent could be exhibiting signs of API. For those students, the problem stems from the fact that they stay up so late each night s tudy ing and preparing for the professor the next day, they often s l eep s t r a i g h t t h r o u g h class."

"Aha! In other words, the student is trying too hard to impress his or her idol. That makes perfect sense to me. So what can be done to alleviate the situation?"

"According to Cognito, the professors must forego the i r pedant ic ways and must step down from their pedestals. They must show the s tudents that they are human by making &sinine mistakes from time to time. The doctor says that it may seem hard at first, but he is sure they will get the hang of it."

"You mean mistakes like misplacing the grade book at the end of the semester or forgetting to give a final exam?"

"Exactly. Insignificant lit-tle blunders like those could only serve to add to their a l r e a d y c o n s i d e r a b l e charm."

(Continued from page 4)

101 c lass . He did not elaborate on whether or not the s tudents of the 101 class knew this before the results were published, or even if they know it now.

In addition, Rankin stated that one of the 101 classes included in the quiz is taught by a n o t h e r W i n t h r o p English professor. Rankin

declined to note the name of the other professor.

"I 'd like to point out, though, that the freshmen in that class are not offended by the publicity," Rankin said. "If anything, they feel motivated to work a little harder."

"If I had my way, I'd get people to deve lop com-p r e h e n s i v e g e n e r a l knowledge ques t ionna i res

and conduct them at Win-throp-or all over the state-and publish the results. I th ink you 'd see s imi lar shocking results ," Rankin said.

In the final installment,of this series, this column will talk with Phil Lader himself next week to get his reaction to the quiz and the publicity surrounding it.

There's no excuse for profanity By BECKY ALLISON TJ contributing editor

I must be old fashioned. I t ry to be open minded on the att i tudes and beliefs of the 1980's, but there are certain things tha1 I can't stand. There isn't much that can be done about it so it's on the r i s e . Dras t i ca l ly . Today, profanity is on the tip of everyone's tongue.

Everyone's except mine. R e m e m b e r me, the old fashioned one? I try to watch what I say, but every now and then I'll slip and rat t le off words that if my mom heard me say she'd cut my tongue out . I don ' t use profanity too often but it has become a p a r t of our everyday vocabulary. We're using it more often and at a

younger age, too. You migh t th ink i t ' s

young kids and college s tuden t s who speak this way. We just get blamed for most of it. Lecturers use four letter words to spice up speeches and you'll even find i t on p r ime t ime te lev is ion shows . E v e n ch i ld ren talk with the imag ina t ion of r e s t r o o m walls.

English and profanity are now spoken fluently in our country and we have no con-trol over what we hear. T h e r e is no way to be protected from it and we can't walk away from it, as smokers and non-smokers can. Profanity is as much a p a r t of our c u l t u r e as baseball and apple pie.

Now I know people will

s tar t screaming about their rights to freedom of speech. W h a t abou t the F i r s t A m e n d m e n t and t h e n e w s p a p e r s r i g h t s ? The paper is the last bit of decency alive today and will be for years to come.

Newspapers, don't forget, are writ ten by human beings who don't always use proper language. But they respect t he i r r e a d e r s and t he i r rights. It 's not impossible to have a vocabulary that con-veys your feelings without o f f e n d i n g anyone . The newspapers do it every day.

We can't do much about profanity spoken in public, but mass media can be made to increase their vocabulary. Profanity is like cigarette smoke. Being around it is just as bad as using it.

Do you feel Freshmen at Winthrop are unprepared for college?"

I haven ' t met tha t many Freshmen, but the ones ] have met seem to be prepared and enthusiast ic about their college careers.

Student employment office opens By JEFFREY WOODALL TJ news reporter

A new Student Em-ployment Office, located in the Financial Aid building across from Dinkins, designed in helping place students in on-campus jobs was started this fall.

"The Office of Student Employment was opened to provide jobs for students who want to work while at-tending school," said Sylvia Kennedy, office director.

"There are presently 827 students employed on cam-pus at this time, but that number is expected to rise in the coming months," said Kennedy.

At the end of last year there had been ap-proximately 1000 students on the college payroll. "By the end of the year that number should be reached

New program for freshmen By LISA BUIE TJ news reporter

An experimental program called Clustered Learning Units for Educational Suc-cess (CLUES) is being of-fered to selected freshmen here.

According to Albert Lyles, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and head of the CLUES program, in-terest dwindled in the honors program because students were afraid of har-

der work and were uncon-fident about their own abilities.

"We need a program to at-tract and retain above average students. However, CLUES is not an honors program. Students are not expected to perform any better than in a' regular classes," Lyles said.

CLUES consists ..of three sections: American Cultures with pclitical science and U.S.History; Late Twentieth

Dr. T.S. Morgan, a CLUES history professor, said, think the program is a good idea. It provides students with an academic challenge and helps the learning process by creating associations both with classes and with other students."

The criteria for invitation into the program is based on a combination of high school transcripts and Scholastic Aptitude Test scores.

This year forty students are participating in the CLUES. The program will continue throughout fall and spring semesters.

"We're very excited about this program and we hope that students participating will find it stimulating and valuable," Lyles said.

Frankie Gri f f in A man for all seasons By JOSHUA BAKER TJ sports editor

A lot of people know him from his playing days as an Eagle soccer player* Even more know him as the assistant soccer coach at Winthrop College. But more will come to know him as the Lady Eagles' softball coach.

Meet Frankie Griffin. Soccer player and coach; softball instructor extraordinaire; and friendly individual.

While playing for Winthrop, Griffin was a three-time All-NAIA District 6 performer for the Eagles. He holds many of Winthrop's soccer records, including most goals in a season (21, tied with Carlos Gonzalez).

Griffin decided to stay on af ter graduation as a graduate assistant soccer coach. He still lends a hand to the soccer squad, but last spring he took on a position that has left a permanent impression upon him.

When Elaine Mozingo, who also coached the volleyball team, left for the University of South Carolina, Griffin was hastily installed as head of the softball team. That 's no small order when one considers that the Winthrop team is nationally known and has been successful on the national level.

What Griffin did in his first year as softball coach was nothing short of phenomenal. The Lady Eagles won the District 6 crown, the area title and finished fourth in the nation in their first year of competition within the NAIA.

When Griffin is asked about his success as Eagle coach, he modestly says, "They (the players) took me to fourth in the nation. Not me take them."

For those of you who know Griffin, you can expect that kind of response. For those of you who don't, come to ex-pect it. Griffin is a straight-shooter who doesn't mind saying what's on his mind and telling the truth. That 's a rare quality among many coaches in today's dog-eat-dog world.

Griffin admits that it was difficult adjust ing from soc-cer coach to softball coach. And that the softball team is all female and the possibility for internal turmoil is very possible. But like so many successful coaches before him, Griffin took the bull by the horns and produced a winner.

'Anytime a new coach takes over a team," says Griffin, "a transition must be made. Especially when you consider that I was following Coach Mozingo, who had super teams and was a good coadh.

"When I came in," continued Griffin, "I saw some changes I wanted to make. At first, I didn't think the players were that much in favor of them, but as the season progressed, everyone realized the changes I made were beginning to pay off."

"That, more than anything, helped provide for a much smoother transition. They had confidence in me, and I had confidence in them," added Griffin.

Griffin calls last year a learning experience. Par t of the reason was traveling out to Kearney, Neb., for the national softball tournament which was something he and the rest of the team will never forget.

"That was the most exciting thing I've ever been in-volved with in all my years of athletics," boasts Griffin. "Not only did we see some of the best softball teams in the country, but we went sightseeing and did other things."

"It was a tremendous educational experience for all of us," said Griffin. "We spent eight days in Nebraska, lear-ning a different culture and getting a taste of some tremendous softball."

Foremost on Griffin's mind this year is his softball team and its success. Losing only two players, the outlook for this season is bright. In a recent scrimmage (Sept. 17), the Lady Eagles beat the University of South Carolina, 4-2, in 15 innings, showing that they're ready for another great year.

"The experience we gained at the nationals can only help us," said Griffin. "With our new players, we ought to be faster and our pitching staff will be even better . Barring injuries, we'll be better than last year."

And one can bet that if Griffin has anything to do with it, the Lady Eagles will be traveling once again to par-ticipate in a national tournament.

Intramurals begin new year ByDARRELLJOHNSON TJ sports reporter

The Winthrop College In-tramural Program began the 1983 school y e a r on a positive note -with a large n u m b e r of p a r t i c i p a n t s signing up for the fall spor-ting events, according to Steve Moore, Director of In-tramurals.

Moore, now in his second year a t the helm of the In-t r a m u r a l d e p a r t m e n t , received his B.S. in Health, Phys ica l Educa t ion and R e c r e a t i o n f rom L a n d e r College in 1979, and ob-tained a Master 's in Secon-dary Education from Win-throp in December, 1981.

He served as a graduate assistant at Winthrop for one year and worked as a s s i s t a n t d i rec to r of In-t r amura l s for two years , before taking the head post in 1981.

Moore said that the major purpose of the Intramural depar tment is to provide students, faculty, and staff at Winthrop with the oppor-tunity to partake in events wi th each o t h e r . In In-tramurals, all of the fun-ctions are free and include equipment such as bats , balls, officials and o ther necessities.

"We had a large turnout of s tudents and other Win-throp personnel to come out for the s ta r t of this year," moore said. "Every year t h a t I ' ve been here , everyone has participated in

the planned events and en-joy themselves."

"This year, we had ap-proximately 17 teams for softball, and football will probably have even more. The events are for both male and female participants and we do have co-ed events," Moore noted.

Moore also said that the Intramural department has the better interests of the students at heart and have taken all of the necessary precautions to insure that all events have been planned in advance and, "all of the rules t h a t we use have been designed for safe ty pur-poses. Safety is definitely a first for the participants and we have a person at all games to assist with any problems that may occur," Moore said.

The graduate assistants for this year are Jim Thor-nton, Mike Wells, Jerome Ande r son , and J a n e t Dickson.

T h o r n t o n , who has worked wi th in the In-t ramura l d e p a r t m e n t for four years, obtained his B.A. in Communicat ions from Winthrop in 1980 and is c u r r e n t l y work ing on a Master's degree in secondary education. He commented on his role.-

'Being a g r a d u a t e assistant is one of the jobs you have to take with a lot of responsibility and love for type of work that you are doing," Thornton said. "I really do get a lot of per-

Steve Moore

sonal satisfaction in seeing people meet each other and participating in sports a t a level dif ferent from high school."

Wells , who g r a d u a t e d from Erskine College in 1982 with a B.S. in Physica l Educa t i on , is p r e s e n t l y working on a Master 's in secondary educat ion. His three years of service at Er-skine have helped him with the technical duties.

"I really do enjoy working on the W i n t h r o p s ta f f because the program here is one of the best in the s ta te and gives everyone a chance to play," Wells said. "One thing I particularly like is the official's clinic that we have here. Before any sport begins, we have a session with the officials who will referee the games and ex-plain the rules to them. Plus, we (graduate assistants) are at the fields for every event to assist them whenever needed," Wells added.

Eagles base hopes on duo By ROBERT JOLLY TJ sports reporter

The Eagles, who have got-ten off to a slightly over mediocre season, have con-fidence that this soccer team will finish strongly. The Eagles base their confidence on v e t e r a n s l ike Rus ty Theinert and Kane Gaskill. Eiven with these two all-district players, the Eagles have been hampered with i n e x p e r i e n c e , and more specially, inexperience in the goalie position.

Both Theinert and Gaskill have given their services to the Eagles for three years now. Both have received many awards and honors. T h e y complemen t each other perfectly on the field, and also get along well together off the field.

Theinert is a junior from Jamesburg, N.J., where he

attended and played soccer a t J a m e s b u r g High. T h e i n e r t , who had previously played on an NCAA soccer team, was for-ced to pick an NAIA team because of el igibi l i ty problems.

"I had already played one year in the NCAA. I only had two years of eligibility, so there was no way I could go NCAA.

"I had to get away from the cold, bu t the main reasons were sun, soccer and women," said Theinert about his route to Winthrop.

A few of the many awards Theinert has received, are NAIA District 6 player of t h e yea r , coach 's All-American, All-District, and All-South. When asked if his awards had placed any more pressure on him, Theinert said, "Not really, I just do what I have to from day to

day. Everybody has a few bad days."

This year , Winthrop is without their two s tar t ing goalies because of personal injuries. When asked if he felt the lack of the previous goal ies h u r t the t e a m , Theinert said, "We.have a lot of inexperience in the goalie position as well as the, team. It will probably take a while to get the new goalies in well, but they will come around."

The future of soccer at Winthrop will depend partly on players such as Theinert . When asked how he felt about the future of soccer here at Winthrop, Theinert said, "I feel we'll do fine. We have a few problems now, but t ime will s t r a i gh t en them out."

Soccer season progressing By CHARLES APPLE TJ contributing editor

Coach Jim Casada's Win-throp Eagles are ap-proaching the mid-way point of their 1983 soccer schedule.

And according to Casada, the Eagles are doing fine, thank you.

"I think we're finally on the right track," said Casada, whose Eagles went into last weekend with a 5-3-1 record. "All three of our losses so far have come at the hands of undefeated teams and they've been close matches."

In the Charlotte tour-nament today and Wed-nesday, the Eagles will face area foes UNCC, Davidson, and Belmont Abbey.

Casada has been concer-ned about his Eagles' per-formance this season up to the tournament in Lynch-burg, Va., Sept. 16 and 17.

"We've shown im-provement in the final scores, and, even more im-portantly, in the quality of our performance on the field. We played some of the best ball we've played this year in Lynchburg."

The Eagles finished as

runners-up in the tourney, after defeating host Lynch-burg College, 2-0, and drop-ping the championship mat-ch to Campbell University, 1-0.

"We still are lacking that extra spark that scores goals and wins matches," said Casada. "We need to develop more of a 'killer in-stinct' and finish our mat-ches better."

Casada pointed out that a good offense will score a goal every six or seven shots. "We're only scoring once every 11, and that's hurting us," he said. "We're taking lots of shots, but we're not making them count."

At this point in the season, Jerry Vidale, a freshman from Trinidad, is leading the Eagles with three goals and two assists. John Newcomb, a striker from Cherry Hill, N.J., has three goals and one assist to his credit.

"Larry Tavino is playing very well this season," said Casada. "He hasn't really had a bad match this season, and he's doing a great job on both offense and defense this year."

"In addition, John Sim-

Jim Casada

mons, who is still being nagged by some recurring injuries, is playing well. He scored two goals against Baptist College (Sept. 14), and he's picking up where he left off last season.

Casada also cited Kane Gaskill and Choco Gutierrez for consistently good play this season.

"Both are doing real fine jobs," he said.

Rusty Theinert

cess here at Winthrop, he will probably have several o p p o r t u n i t i e s upon graduation. He explained his personal goals when he said, "My main goal is to reach 'Nationals' as a team. I'll do anything to achieve this. Hopefully, after schoo', I would like to go professional."

Because of dedicated, hard-working players like Theinert, interest has been sparked at Winthrop in its soccer team. When asked if he felt the soccer team was growing, Theinert said, "Yes definitely! From the first year I was here, it has grown tremendously. Because of better recruits, our talent l£vel is high. We don't have much fan support now, but I feel thi« will pick up."

Theinert has been playing with Gaskill for three years at Winthrop and knows him well. When asked how he felt about Gaskill as a teammate, Rusty said, "I think he is an excellent per-son and a great ball player. He's an all-around great guy. I feel comfortable with him."

Theinert has several other future concerns that will be upon him soon. Rusty explained his future plans when he said, "I'll be graduating in December of '84 with a B.A. degree. If I don't play professionally, I will find a job."

Another one of Win-throp's fine soccer players is Gaskill, a junior business major (marketing). He is from Freehole, N.j., where he attended and played soc-cer at Freehole-Burrow High.

Gaskill had an oppor-tunity to attend several other schools closer to home. Explaining why he chose Winthrop, Kane said, "My brothers worked here, so I knew about it. The school is fairly cheap, plus I received a scholarship. I knew the soccer team was decent, and I loved the weather."

Gaskill, like Theinert, has received several awards, in-cluding all-district. When asked if this award had placed any additional pressure on him, Gaskill said, "I suppose it has a little bit, but I try not to think about that."

Gaskill, as a veteran, realizes the risk of losing two well-qualified goalies. When asked if he felt the goalie problem would hurt the team, he said, "Yes it has hurt somewhat, but the team as a whole will become accustomed to it soon."

Gaskill, as well as the other team members, will have to work extra hard to overcome their inexperien-ce. Gaskill explained his outlook of the future of the team when he said, "I feel our tough schedule will prepare us to play well in the playoffs. We will become better as the season progresses."

Kane Gaskill

Gaskill has proved himself successful on and off the field. He explained his per-sonal goals when he said, "My main goal is to win the 'District' and the 'Nationals'; however, college is my main concern. I hope to spend more time with my school work."

Because of the dedicated work of Gaskill and his teammates, the soccer program seems to be growing. Gaskill explained his feelings about the growth of soccer here at Winthrop when he said, "I definitely feel the program is growing. We become stronger every year. Fan support is building. We keep getting better recruits."

Kane, who has played soc-cer with and lived with Theinert for several years, knows him well. Gaskill stated how he felt about Rusty as a teammate when he said, "I think he's great. He pushes everybody. He really deserves a lot of respect."
