Pep Talk, Carlen's success went virtually unnoticed. As with Morrison, his standard of living didn't carry much weight with USC followers. In fact, Carlen reportedly exchanged words with Gamecock Club members that they didn't tak< very nicely. When mentioning Morrison's lifestyle, I'm referring to his smok ing habit and the paternal suit incident, which the press hoarded him about. Well, Carlen was released in 1981 and Richard Bell was given the job in 1982. Bell went 4-7 in his head coaching debut and was quickly given the boot to make way for Morrison.

It is obvious that the heart attack Foster suffered while at USC was stress-related. It just goes to show how important winning really is. Sure, other schools love to win, and other coaches have had stress-related problems, but recent years in Gamecock athletic history have been shady. knows G( is well as "I pick up e^ my hands on ? list minister.

The I 1991 NBA All-Star game will be < played in the Charlotte Coliseum. i The Charlotte Hornets won the right to be host to the game and j three days of related activites after league officials visited Charlotte in June and toured the coliseum and hotel and convention facilities. Formal announcement of Charlotte's selection was expected today at a news conference at the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce. The weekend's activities are held each year in February. Civic leaders have estimated their economic impact at $5 million to $10 million, in addition to national and international media exposure. A spokesman for the NBA said he was aware a major announcement was scheduled for today and confirmed league officials would be represented at the press conference. "An announcement will be made Tuesday and that is all I can say," said Terry Lyons, assistant director of public relations for the NBA. "There will be someone from the NBA present at the announcement" The chamber of commerce has agreed to raise at least half of the approximate $500,000 cost of the all-star weekend, according to sources close to the Hornets, with the rest to be paid by the NBA. The weekend events include: ? All-stars, from the NBA's Eastern and Western conference teams, matched in a nationally televised game Sunday afternoon.

The Charlotte Coliseum will be host to the Saturday and Sunday competition. The selection marks the second major sporting event the Charlotte area has been awarded in the past two months. In July the NCAA announced the 1994 NCAA Final Four would be held at the Charlotte Coliseum. League officials visited Charlotte in June and toured the Charlotte Coliseum and hotel and convention facilities. Doug Stafford, president of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, said at that time that three buildings were large enough to be considered for the welcoming party ? the Convention Center and Apparel Center in uptown Charlotte, and the Merchandise Mart on East Independence Boulevard. Russ Granik, executive vice president of the NBA, said in June the league was considering Charlotte and four other cities for the 1991 all-star weekend. He did not identify the others in the running. The major questions concerning Charlotte dealt with number of hotel rooms available ? Granik said 2,300 are needed ? and space for the welcoming party. . O type blood is rare j -* and special.

The selection of Charlotte will place the all-star weekend in one of the NBA's newest cities for a second straight year. Miami, which along with the Hornets entered the NBA through expansion for the 1988-89 season, will be the host for the 1990 weekend. League officials were not available for comment Monday. But in June, Granik cited the area's support of the Hornets as a major reason for Charlotte's consideration as an all-star site. "Charlotte has had a tremendous impact on the NBA," Granik said. "We try to do things to ensure success, but I don't think any of us (in the league office) had any notion how big an impact Charlotte would have." The Hornets have the NBA's largest arena and led the league in attendance in their first season, selling out 36 of 41 regular-season home games in the 23,388-seat coliseum. They received enough season-ticket requests to ensure capacity crowds through next season. A sellout at the coliseum would stt an all-star record for a traditionalsize basketball arena; four games in domed arenas have drawn more. An undetermined number of tickets would be available for sale to the all-star weekend events. The league usually holds about 8,000 for use by its teams and officials, and season ticket-holders of the host team usually get first crack at remaining tickets. >2 g American l<cd Cross SC Kegional Wood Services fife bly & Whaley 252 0005- * N GOOD FOR { $3.00 MY TIME.
