           2.  Add the following under ATHLETICS:







                An intercollegiate athletic program should promote the

           basic aims and objectives of the University including developing

           a strong sense of ethics as well as a sound mind and body.  It

           should be educationally sound contributing to the growth of the

           student athletes.  In addition, the scope should be such that

           non-participants have an opportunity to broaden their college

           experience.  Finally, the stature of the University should be

           enhanced locally, regionally and nationally by achieving

           athletic prominence while retaining academic integrity.



                The University of North Carolina at Asheville is committed

           to an athletic program that supports the above philosophy.

           Students interested in participating in athletics must fulfill

           the general admissions requirements of UNCA.  Once in attendance

           in order to compete they must meet NCAA standards and be in good

           academic standing as established by the University for all

           students.  The emphasis is on a successful athletic experience

           while maintaining normal progress toward a degree.



                The University of North Carolina at Asheville is a member

           of the NCAA in Division I and the Big South Conference.

           Intercollegiate competition at the varsity level is offered in

           basketball, baseball, cross country, golf, soccer and tennis for

           men and basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, tennis and

           volleyball for women.  Facilities include Justice Gymnasium with

           basketball courts, a swimming pool and weight room and extensive

           newly developed outdoor playing fields plus 12 tennis courts.

           In addition, many intercollegiate basketball games are played in

           the Asheville Civic Center, an excellent spectator facility that

           seats 6800.
