wimmers break four records
By GLEN JOHNSON
■x members of the Texas A&M
niversity women’s swim team and
B from the men’s team traveled
Canton, Ohio, for four days be-
inning Wednesday, April 6, to
|pete in the Amateur Athletics
inion national swim meet. The
imen broke four Texas A&M
|ol records.
Shirley Hill, a freshman from
San Diego, Calif., set a record in
the 100-yard freestyle with a time
of 52.6 seconds, two-tenths faster
than her previous time.
Stacy Pletz, a freshman from
Huntington Beach, Calif., set a
record in the 100-yard breaststroke
with a 1.09.7.
Two relay teams, the 400-yard
medley relay, where all four
strokes are performed, and the
800-yard freestyle also set school
records. Jeannie Buckles, Suzie
Lynde, Pletz and Hill made up the
medley team, while Jennie Hicks,
Debbie Starr, Hill and Lynde
made the freestyle team.
Other events that the women
competed in were the 400-yard
freestyle relay with Hill, Buckles,
Hicks and Starr, the 200-yard
freestyle with Hill and the 200-yard
butterfly and the 200-yard indi
vidual medley with Lynde compet
ing.
Greg Meek, Chuck Burr, Chris'
Shipp and Roger Lien represented
the men’s team, competing in the
400-yard freestyle relay which
made the top 16 in preliminaries
and seventeenth in the finals, and
the 800-yard freestyle relay. Roger

lin„ Bs of recent years, the officials of
r ^Bthwest Conference (SWC) have
iVffle under attack for what many

ometimes the fans expect too

that even though we play a
pletely different type of bas-
allin the SWC than is played in
other parts of the country, I could
go to any other school in the coun
try and do just as respectable job of
officiating,” he continued.
Munday started his career in the
early ’60s and officiated his first
SWC game after only two years of
experience in the high school ranks.
“I now work 18 to 20 games a
year and really to be honest the
crowd doesn’t affect me any more,”
he said.
Munday also said the require
ments of the SWC officials is far
less than the average fan would
imagine.
“We really have no set require
ments with the SWC other than to
be approved by the coaches them
selves,” Munday said.
Contrary to many referees,
Munday has had very few incidents
occur to him during basketball
games.
“I have had very few problems in
my years of officiating,” he said.
“So far I haven’t had a fight nor
have I had to call a technical on a
coach in recent years,” he said.
“Hopefully my luck will stay the
same.”
Another official that resides in
College Station is RedCassion, who
is presently in his 21st year as an
official with the National Football
League (NFL). Cassion talked
about the pressures of officiating
professional football players.
“When you get to the higher

levels of officiating you begin to feel
the pressure of the situation, but
interestingly enough I try to isolate
myself on the football field and I
have found that you can make it a
very lonely place no matter how
rowdy the crowd is,” he said.
Cassion also said that he has the
highest regard for the athletes and
coaches of professional football.
These people at this level be
come professional when they walk
on a football field and they both
know when you make a mistake,”
he said. “And as it has been said so
many times before, those who don’t
admit mistakes just aren’t human.’

Lien also swam the 500-yard free
style event.
None of the entries from Texas
A&M finished in winning places
which includes the top 16 positions
in the finals and the title of All-
American for the swimmers.
In order for a swimmer to make
it to the national meet, a qualifying
time set by the AAU must be at
least equaled by the swimmer. The
times from the sixteenth place in
each of last years events are used
for qualifying times the following
year.
All of the women competing this
year from Texas A&M have been to
the AAU nationals before, except
Starr. These women went with
teams in which they belonged be
fore coming to A&M. This is the
first year that women have gone to
nationals representing Texas A&M.
“We improved a lot of our times,
but unless your times are well
below qualifying times you really
can’t expect to win any events. The
men’s team has had members qual
ify for AAU nationals before, but
we feel that for women to go repre
senting A&M is a real accomplish
ment for us,” Starr said yesterday.
Now that the 1977 swimming
season is over, the swimmers are
already beginning to work for next
year. For the women, that means
playing water polo against male
teams in the intramural program at
Texas A&M. The women will be
defending a 4-0 record in their next
three games.
The men are attending workouts
on their own at a slower pace than
during the regular season.
Both teams will begin the regular
water polo season next fall.
