By Brian Boney
Staff Writer
The University of North Texas Basketball Camp is scheduled for the
week of June 26 to July 1.
The emphasis of the camp is to teach the fundamentals of basketball to
participants at an early age. Specific skills that will be worked on are shooting,
dribbling, passing and rebounding.
Glenn Arnold, NT assistant coach, said, “This camp has progressed
every year that Jimmy Gales has been here. This year we’re shooting for
120 kids to participate.”
Participants between the ages of nine and 16 years old are eligible for the
camp.
The cost of the camp is $220 for campers who will reside in one of the
dormitories on campus and $160 for campers who commute.
Members of the NT faculty and staff are eligible for a $25 discount.
There is also a $25 discount per family member if the same family has more
than one camper.
The fee includes instruction by the NT basketball staff, room and board,
insurance and lectures by professional players.

Athletic Hall of Fame.
The inductees will be honored as part
of Homecoming weekend festivities Oct.
15.
The list includes Olympic pole-vaulter
Dave Clark and middle distance mnncr
Doyle Chrisman, as well as Bill Schmidt,
a bronze medal winner in the javelin
competition at the 1972 Olympic games.
Former basketball player John Savage
was also inducted. Terrance Myracle,

played basketball and football from 1925
to 1927. also were honored.
The NT Soccer Camp for kids will
Quotables:
Detroit Pistons center Bill Laimbeer has been accused of not playing enough
during the off-season. Piston officials have tried to persuade Laimbeer to work
out more in the summer to improve his game. Responding to this, Laimbeer
said: “Who wants to come inside and play in a dingy gym in the summer? 1
like being outside with my shorts on drinking beer."
Los Angeles Lakers substitute Mychal Thompson and Pistons sub John Salley
have been exchanging verbal jabs during the series. Salley last said that Thompson’s
lines are not original. Thompson’s response: “Hey, that’s like comparing Fred
Higgins to Robin Williams. You haven’t heard of Higgins have you? He’s a
comic back in L A. who’s been booed off the stage more times than you can
count He’s not ready for the big time. That’s the way Salley is, man."
Houston pitcher Larry Andersen, whose motto is “You’re only young once,
but you can be immature forever,” on the mysteries of life: “How can you
tell when you’re running out of invisible ink? . . . What do they call a coffee
break at the Lipton Tea Company? . . Why does sour cream have an exiration
date? . , . How come fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?”
Broadcaster Tony Kubek on the struggling Toronto Blue Jays: “1 think what
they’ve got is an attitude problem. They’re all but walking around like zombies.
They’re brooding, moping and whining. But they have that scapegoat, (manager)
Jimy Williams.”
“We’re trying to get Mark Aguirre to speak at the camp,” Arnold said.
“We’re not sure he’ll be here because he hasn’t committed yet, but we’ve
talked to him.”
Members of the NT men’s basketball team are also expected to be at the
camp. “Players like Tony Worrell and Deon Hunter should be in and out.
It will mainly be the players that are here during the summer. They 11 be
here to talk to the kids and help instruct them,” Arnold said.
The camp staff estimates a final enrollment of approximately 100 boys
and 25 girls.
“We had to move the date up because we’re starting our recruiting on
July 10,” Arnold said. “We’re probably going to lose a lot of kids we
would normally have because they’ll still be playing baseball.”
The camp staff will continue to accept applications until June 26. “We’ll
take people right up until camp starts, because we had to move the dates
up,” Arnold said.
Applications should be sent with a $100 deposit payable to the University
of North Texas Basketball Camp, Box 5344, Denton, Texas, 76203-5344.
University Interscholastic League eligibility rules apply.

Diner shows
'bad art'
By Kelly Moore
Dally Reporter
The Museum of Bad Art dis-
plays off-the-wall and tasteless
paintings as well as other art objects
in the second room of Jim’s Diner
at 110 Fry Street, its curator said.
The museum originated with a
private collection of record album
covers owned by James “Big
Bucks” Burnett of Denton.
“Bad art is the disease — I’m
the curator,” Burnett said.
“I started collecting bad album
covers like ‘Un Dia a la Vez' (‘A
Day at a Time’) by Los Tigres del
Norte," he said. “I have more
than 400 covers at home.” The
cover pictures five men wearing
obviously fake zebra skins sewn
on satin jackets.
“This was when men were men
and jackets were loud,” Burnett
said.
The first Muaeum of Bad Art
was in Dallas last year but had to
close after three months because
of finances, Burnett said. The
museum opened in Denton’s Jim’s
Diner April 7 after diner owner W.
P. "Skipper” Whitson offered
Burnett free space to house the
collection.
Burnett decided to broaden the
-
museum's appeal by adding every-
thing bad, not just album covers,
he said. He frequents thrift stores
and flea markets throughout the
Metroplex.
“I really find horrible paintings
for five bucks,” Burnett said.
“It’s very unpredictable shop-
ping.”
He bought a painting of a pink
mobile home at a flea market in
Denton for the museum. “That’s
a painting of a mobile home that
shouldn’t exist, right?"
Each wall of the museum has a
theme.
“There is a lot of bad gospel
art out,” Burnett said as he
pointed to the gospel wall dis-
playing paintings of Christ.
Across the room is the horse
wall. It is not surprising that the
museum sports such a wall since
Burnett founded the Mr. Ed Fan
Club in 1975 for devotees of the
early ’60s TV show starring the
talking horse.
The club received an auto-
graphed picture from “Wheel of
Fortune” hostess Vanna White.
Past club fundraisers organized by
Burnett have been Ed Stock in ’84,
Live Ed in ’86 and Ed a GoGo
May 18 of this year.
