Dobby ,Grossman GUES CoLUMNIST This new column in the Gamecock Sports Section can. add a new dimension to each and everyone's life...especially college life. The abbreviated column stands for the Mutual Advancement of the A.ssociation between the A.thletes and tne College P.eople. In this column we hope to bring out the "human" side of the Carolina athlete. "Human" being illustrated by the rumor that the anthropology classes are always going to the Roose for "Neanderthal Man" studies during their field trips. We want to accomplish a personal "side view" of the athletes in order to make a more unified school system and a happier college life for everyone. The old saying... "United we stand; divided we fall!"...can apply to this situation. The rumors about the Carolina athletes (like the one illus trated above) will be dealt with through a mail cor respondence. The rumors are really humorous sometimes, but they can get to be pretty serious and things get way out of scope. The descriptions of the Roost dorm are pretty funny, for example...we all sleep in eight-foot king size beds '(Russ Jackson would get lost in something like that...be too little for Danny Traylor, though!)...we've got'maids to clean up our rooms and make our beds (our "super" cleaning ladies just clean our floors and keep us in good humor, great people!)...the rumors go on and on. This column will be designated to answering these type of rumors and any questions about any of the athletes for the benefit of the people involved. The first question -I'd like you readers to answer is what you think of the Carolina athletes. "What do you personally like or dislike about us?" I'm sure there will be more "dis likes", but this is what we want to work with. We want to feel more a part of the school functions and we want you to feel more a part of our athletic program. The only way to accomplish this is to get on truthful grounds on both sides. Let me answer some questions that are going through your mind right now. 1. Why are you writing this column? I am writing this column because I have my own column in Indiana and I'm concerned about the student-athlete relationship. The col umn will appear once every two weeks. 2. What do you plan to accomplish by this column? Number one; M.A.A.A.C.P., exactly what the title stands for,...two, an inside look at the human side of Carolina athletes and their activities,...three, a personal channel (by mail) to the athletes about their lives as "people." (This mail will be up to the individual athlete as to whether or not he could or would like to answer all of it)...and four, a listing of times and places of "M.A.A.A.C.P. Raps" (this will be when a group of.athletes and coaches will personally have ques tion and answer sessions with the students at the dorms). This was done last fall at the Towers lounge and was quite successful. ..we'd like to do it for all dorms. If so, just write to this column and we will arrange the dates. It will be rewarding for both parties. Please write me at... M.A.A.A.C.P. Roost Lounge -Cola., S.

Sunday 1k Intramur Players from the intramural teams of Newman and NROTC scrap for a rebound in action Thursday at the PE Center. Ingeisby From Page 13. That is no fault of Ingelsby. He has been the leading Wildcat scorer in every single game this season, scoring less than 20 points only twice and on eight occassions he has passed the 30 mark, including his last five straight games. "I took more shots today than I average," said Ingelsby. "If I have' the shot I like to take it, but I don't like to have to force any. But some times you don't have any choice." With the way Inglesby stood out 1 % over his relatively dismal team mates, it appeared as if Villanova Coach Jack Kraft might be wise to switch to a Pete Maravich-IBUJ type offense for the remainder of his contests. Its hard to conceive of any one player winning games by himself, but it doesn't appear as if' Inglesby's teammates do much in the way of adding to the Wildcat attack.
