By Michelle Pendleton Echo News Writer The recent closing of the general parking lot on the east side of Baldwin Street has generated few complaints, according to Dr. Charles Renneisen, Dean of Students. The lot is the property of the First Christian Church on McCallie Avenue and is leased by the university for students with a yellow general parking sticker. In October, the board of directors of the church decided to discontinue student access to the lot. "It's not really that we needed the lot for the church 100 percent of the time," said Roy Rabun, chairman of the board, "but when we did need it for the church, we weren't able to use it." Rabun also noted that the church had an increase in activity and the extra parking space was necessary. "We still supply the university with the lots off University Street, and I don't think that the closing of this area will cause a lot of problems," Rabun said. "It wasn't closed for any reason other than the fact that we needed the parking for our own church members." Renneisen noted that the campus recently gained additional space at the Clara Carpenter School, which made up for the loss of space on Baldwin Street. "It's sort -of a 'no-man's' lot," said Renneisen,"but it is a parking lot." First Christian Church on McCallie Avenue no longer allows students access to their Baldwin Street parking lot.

But with a different thought in mind, Coach Murray Arnold and the Mocs began 1983 on the winning road. With the student body still on Christmas vacation, UTC, 6-2 for 1982, blasted the Division II contending UT-Martin Pacers, 81-68, at the Roundhouse. The Mocs' pressure man-to-man defense remained stingy, while Willie White and Gerald Wilkins posted 22 points each. It as the fifth time in six games that White has reached that mark. Perhaps the toughest contest of the season, according to Coach Arnold, was the Jan. 8 game in Johnson City against conference foe East Tennessee State under first-year mentor Barry Dowd. UTC placed five players in double figures in snapping the Bucs' four-game winning skein, 76-73. ETSU's Troy Mikel had 25 points in a close game. The win put UTC at 8-2 overall, 1-0 in the conference. The new year will be no cakewalk for the Mocs, with Bobby Hussey's Davidson Wildcats, leading the league with the upset of Notre Dame fresh in mind, visiting Saturday. A1ISC forward Cliff Tribus at 6'10" and junior Kenny Wilson will be tough to contain. It will be the third of 15 consecutive conference contests and Coach Arnold has issued a challenge to Moc fans to set a new league attendance mark. The Mocs travel to Charleston on Wednesday to take on The Citadel. Les Robinson's Bulldogs feature high-scoring Felipe de las Pozas and Louie Gilbert, both averaging in double figures.

Fulton is the nom de plume (at least for this article) of Dr. Robert Fulton, UTC English professor, Shakespearean scholar, and director of Honors. Fulton rode the rodeo circuit from California to Montana during his "younger days." The Echo is grateful for his lending of his expertise on this matter. By R.C. Fulton Echo Rodeo Consultant For the thirty years that I've followed them, from the first rodeo I saw in Drummond, Mont., to last week's production at UTC's Arena, I've been watching the same rodeo. True, no cowboys had long hair back then. Most favored Levis and wore their hats with long brim rolls and thin leather hat bands. Last Sunday, by contrast, some of the rough-stock riders had shoulder-length hair, and one, with a bit of droopy moustache, achieved a sort of wacked out 1910 hippy/desperado look. Nowadays, it appears, hats are worn with flat brims and feathers, and Wranglers, I noted on Sunday, were with one exception standard dress: (A bull rider had on a pair of Calvin Kleins—the deviation is itself typical of bull riders.) But the rules have remained the same, the events, the techniques, the gear. And so have the routines which form an essential part of the entertainment: the announcers' patter; the broadly risque gambits of the clowns—loud, polkadot drawers exposed at the slightest provocation, firecrackers stuffed down overalls, scatological cracks; the numbers between events; the fakery and corn of the Grand Entry—if it's not a tribute to the American Indian, then it's a salute to the flags of the U. S. of A. The types haven't changed either. Arena foremen—the real bosses—are always fat, sweaty, and concerned. Pick-up men, on the other hand, are lean, cool, detached—Gibraltars riders can cling to after having survived the eight-second chaos of a bareback ride. And the riders themselves last Sunday seemed like the guys I watched back of the chutes years ago at Dillon, Mont., and Clear Lake, Calif., and Turlock (just north of Ceres in the Central Valley), and Petaluma, and Parajo Valley (outside Santa Cruz), and at a rodeo just east of Sheridan, Wyo., next to an Indian encampment filled with fat little At the rodeo last week, a cowboy tries to stay on top of a wildly bucking bull Billy Weeks/The Echo puppies, naked babies, and malodorous old squaws. in the bullriding event.
