However, there is plenty of con troversy surrounding the ruling which allows these athletes to com pete in college-level competiton. There are two major arguments against them. First, many foreig ners enter college as 21-year-old freshmen. Also, the foreign athlete may be depriving an American ath lete of a possible scholarship. Their supporters say he provides more competition and as a result team competition is closer. TAMU is among the hundreds of two-and four-year colleges who have foreign athletes on scholar ship. We have two Ghanans in track and cross country and two Ecuadorians in tennis. These four student athletes have set academic as well as athletic goals for them selves in college. Jacob Yemme is a sophomore miler who ran 3:57 in his specialty at his high school in Ghana. His Peace Corps coach wrote the track coaches of several colleges in the United States and told them of Yemme’s achievements. Many colleges of fered Yemme a full scholarship and he chose Texas A&M because Coach Charlie Thomas had the most convincing and responsive attitude. Yemme said running for a college in the United States has definite ad vantages over running in his home country. In Ghana there is more training and fewer competitive meets, and the colleges there offer no athletic scholarships; only academic aid is available. AdolfTingan is a sophomore and a 1:52 half-miler on the track team. He was a high school friend of Yemme’s in Ghana and received a full athletic scholarship too. Tingan feels his presence will be nefit his teammates because he will create more competition and help others to set higher goals for them selves. Tingan is studying agricul-i tural economics and hopes to workl developing the farmlands of Ghana. Their assessments of their value to the team is shared by the majority of the track and cross country team members. One teammate said, “No one resents them. They fit in well with the team.” The number one courtman on the tennis team is an Ecuadorian, Bill Wright. Wright, a senior account ing major, received a half scholarship his freshman year and a full one the following year when he took over the number one position on the tennis team. When Wright returned to school this fall from Ecuador, he brought back with him a recruit named Eddwing Teran. Teran, a freshman By hmsp' lg.

Robert Hurly, representing the Dad’s Club, took third. Rice’s David Ladyman grabbed fourth place. The visual competition was supervised by a team of four judges. Scoring is made when one fencer “touches” the other. The first man to receive five touches against him is the loser. In the electrical foil competition, A&M’s Denise Gordon finished in fourth place. In electrical foiling, the score is counted automatically when either foil—which is wired to the scoring box—touches the metal lic uniform of the opponent. This was the second match for the team. Previously the team domi nated a novice match staged at Rice. The team’s next match will be at Frank’s Sabre on October 12. The fencing team is backed by the A&M Fencing Club. Entirely self- supporting, the ten man team last year sent four members to national competition. The Fencing Club is headed by Hammond and meets four times a week. Membership is open to everyone interested and those not having their own equipment can have it provided by the school. 212 N.
