European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - February 06, 1993, Darmstadt, Hesse Katrina relaxes with Wiesbaden team members from left Chad Jones Joseph Espinosa and Erik Blevins. A Man s sport continued from Page 19 she said. Her friends told her that she was crazy too but she joined the demanding workouts to keep in shape for soccer. Eventually her parents came around and told her that if she made third place she would t have to do the dishes for two weeks and would be Able to drive the Good car an Isuzu trooper. She has t quite made it but Zack Roland who works out with Melissa said that he and the other teammates just think of her As one of the Guys. She s beat me she s just a girl who wrestles. I Don t make a big Deal of it. She s a real competitor and that s what it after he wrested a boy from Fulda he said he passed on some advice to her for her match. I showed her a move he said. She was so close she had him pinned if she Only had More katrina whose Only non forfeit win came when she pinned a girl from Baum older said she had t expected the boys in her 109-Pound weight class to be so much stronger than she. She said her two seasons have shown her that Guys get psyched up faster. They do have that killer instinct. I have to really concentrate to get As far As seventh grader Maricia is concerned rough housing with her 10th-Grade brother was what taught her to be Tough. She actually had wanted to go out for football but was t allowed to she said. You have to have a real Clear mind to win or you la get pinned. It s real hard to wrestle when you re mad is her advice to other girls interested in the close Contact sport. You be gotta be sure you May get a Hurt leg sprained Arm or a bloody nose. You gotta be Able to take one of the Wiesbaden parents thinks letting girls on the wrestling teams was just Fine. Let them try said Eric Scott who said he was the 1970 Idaho state wrestling Champ in his weight class. He said he has seen a lot of changes in sports since his High school Days and admitted that when he watched katrina wrestle i was hoping she d Maricia Knowles Michael crimes da/7 / Schwartz on the family parents should limit children s to viewing a what is your View of to generally should parents attempt to regulate what their children watch a a most television programming is awful or. Gerald Loo hey of the University of Arizona claims that by the time the average child is 14, he will have witnessed 18,00.0 murders plus countless hours of related violence nonsense and drivel on to. Furthermore or. Saul Kapel states that the most time consuming activity in a child s life is neither school nor family is to absorbing 14,000 valuable hours during the course of childhood. That is the equivalent to sitting before the tube eight hours a Day continuously for 4.9 years there Are other aspects of television that demand its regulation and controls. For one thing it is an enemy of communication within the family. How can we talk to each other when a $1 million production in living color is always calling us i am also concerned about the current fashion whereby each program director is compelled to include All the Avant Garde ideas go a Little further use a Little More profanity discuss the Undis Custable assault the James c. Dobson Public concept of Good taste and decency. In doing so they Are hacking away at the foundations of the family and Alt that represents the Jude Christian ethic. In recent seasons for example we were offered hilariously funny episodes involving abortion divorce rape extramarital relationships and the Ever popular theme father is an if this is social relevance then i am sick to death of the message i have been fed. Television with its unparalleled capacity for teaching and edifying has occasionally demonstrated the potential it carries. Littig House on the Prairie was for years the Best program available for Young children. I would not therefore recommend smashing the television set in despair. Rather we must learn to control it instead of becoming its slave. When our children were Young they were permitted to watch one hour of cartoons on saturday morning and one 30-minute program each afternoon selected from an approved list. That still sounds like a reasonable schedule for elementary school Manx american colleges and universities Are permitting men and women to live in coeducational dormitories often Rooming Side by Side. Others allow unrestricted visiting hours by members of the opposite sex. De you think this promotes More healthy attitudes toward sex it certainly permits More sex and some people think that s healthy. The advocates of cohabitation try to Tell us that Young men and women can live together without doing what comes naturally. That is nonsense. The sex drive is one of the strongest forces in human nature and Joe College is notoriously weak in suppressing it. I would prefer that the supporters of coeducational dormitories admit that morality is not very important to them. If morality is something we value then we should at least give it a wobbly legged change to survive. The stars and stripes 11 a he saturday february 6,1993
