Two fundraising events will be
held (his weekend for the TWC
baseball team. Tomorrow night
at the Worthington Hotel. The
Second Annual TWC Baseball
Hanquct and Auction will take
place. At the dinner. Los Angeles
Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda
will be the featured speaker.
Texas Ranger Manager Bobby
Valentine will also make an ap-
pearance.
Following the banquet, the
baseball memorabelia auction
will take place. There will be
autographs, bats, balls, pictures,
and other collectables. Included
in the collection will be many
items from Hall of Fame mem
bers.
"I know there is a ball auto-
graphed by Ernie Banks,” said
freshman outfielder Mike Peters,
'and my dad is a big Cub fan
I don't want to think of how far
he's going to go to get it."
"Last year's banquet and auc
tion grossed $25,000," said head
coach Brad Bass, ''and we have
that already this year."
In addition to tomorrow’s
events, Saturday and Sunday will
be host to the first TWC Base-
ball Team Baseball Card Show.
The show will be in the Sid W.
Richardson Center starting 10:00
am both days. Admission will be
$2.
Also adding to the diamond
atmosphere will be appearances
by major leaguers throughout
the show. Jim Sundberg will be
there Saturday along with fu-
ture Hall of Famer Don Sutton.
On Sunday, Ranger pitcher Dale
Mahorcic will be on hand. There
will be a small fee for auto-
graphs to cover the players'
travel expenses.
Traders from all over the state
have bought tables for $40 each
to display their wares They will
be buying and selling cards from
across the decades. Over the past
fifteen years baseball cards have
given inventors higher returns
than stocks, bonds, CDs or preci-
ous metals.
Is there any particular card
that is undervalued right now?
Avid card collector and TWC
student, Brian Harrison says
there is. “Tony Gwynn is a card
to look for. He's a great hitter
on a cruddy team. He's definite
ly undervalued.
"Hitters retain their value bet-
ter than pitchers. After they
stop pitching they lose their
value.”
Since the Ram baseball squad
doesn't receive any money from
the school, these two days are
very important. For more infor-
mation call Bass at 531-4620, or
Gary Balch at 817-332-4191.

Tennis team takes court
by Todd Obadal
Sweep off those recently re
surfaced courts; tennis is back
at TWC. Students and faculty are
cordially invited to come out
and support the Rams in their
new arena of competition.
Under the guidance of 15 year
tennis pro Linda Suarez, the
Rams arc aiming for the Heart
of Texas title. Assisted by Tom
Stem, the Dallas native Suarez
is looking to pull together a
group of men and women who
want to play some serious ten-
nis.
Suarez got the TWC job this
past June after most players had
accepted scholarships elsewhere.
While that is a difficult situa-
tion, the former Maureen Conlee
prodigy points out that Wes-
leyan is in a very special situa-
tion. "In the past few years TWC
is the only school to add tennis
in Texas; 11 have dropped it.
"What we offer here is a
chance for freshmen to play as
freshmen. Any person can come
in here and have a shot to play
for us. Right now we have a
vacant spot on both the men's
and wqmen’s teams. If anyone is
serious about playing at the col-
lege level, they should come out
and give it a shot."
At 31. this is Suarez's first job
as a head coach. “It’s different
coaching a team than an individ-
ual. Even though they will be
playing one on-one, it’s important
each player senses his or her
role on the team. Teams get sick
of each other unless you create
a common goal."
To build up unity, the team
goes to the Y and works out to-
gether instead of each person
going when he or she wanted to.
Stem said that after the first
road trips the team will func-
tion better as a unit.
Although it won't be easy,
Coach Suarez has a definite
philosophy for her plan of ac-
tion. "Any coach or teacher pulls
from the best of what they've
learned — and I've had some of
the best teachers in the world."
Citing Vic Braden as well' as
Conlee, Suarez does have an im-
pressive line of tutorage to call
upon. Using what she calls the
"sandwich" technique to moti-
vate players, Suarez attempts to
work within herself to perform
her job.
"I try to be really positive,
but I have this one girl that only
(Continued from Page 3)
“I found myself skipping my
art classes to work on ceramics,"
she recalls.
Another featured artist in the
show began as a graphic artist
and stayed with it. McEuen, in-
structor of the Wednesday eve-
ning advertising art class, is ex-
hibiting several of the advertis-
ing posters that his company,
Robeegrafix, has produced. The
Mayfest '87 poster as well as ad-
vertisements for Pier I Imports,
Fort Worth Linotype and Ad-
vertising Artists of Fort Worth
are on display.
Graphic design has “always
been easy" to McEuen and it
was natural for him to pursue
something in which he was inter-
ested. A graduate of Oklahoma
State University Technical Branch
in Okmulgee, McEuen opened
Robeegraffix in Spring, 1982.
Since then, he has handled ac-
reacts to negative remarks. I
don't like to be negative, but you
have to adjust to the situation."
The goals set for the tennis
team by the new coach are more
personal goals than tennis goals.
"What we really need is support.
From the students, from the
staff, we need support. We need
people at our games cheering for
us. We need kids slapping our
players on the backs saying,
‘Hey! How'd practice go?’
“Right now our team feels like
a bunch of step-children. We
need support.”
Suarez's team will make its first
home appearance of '88 on Sun-
day. Jan. 31, against GDRA.
counts for Aleon Laboratories,
Justin Boots, and Tandy Corpora-
tion. The company serves both
large and small businesses in
the Fort Worth area to help
them gain recognition.
McEuen, along with Turner,
Apple and Summer will have
their works on display in Gallery
13 until Feb. 5, 1988.
Ail good things must come
to an end, and, fortunately, so
must all bad things. There-
fore it is both an honor and
even more of a privilege to
announce the contest for a
new Ram's head for the Ram-
blar masthead. Everyone is
eligible and all are encour-
aged to submit entries by 5
p.m. on Feb. 5. Entries will
be judged by the Rambler
staff and will appear on the
Feb. 11 issue.
