Show The Thunderbird The good guys always beat the bad (continued from page I) Donna away, breaking her illegal hold. Eventually Tina pins her opponent and her n arms are rail-thi- raised in triumph. Without breaking stride, the loser, Dynamite Donna, stormed into her dressing room. Perhaps 100 kids seeking autographs swarmed around the petite blond winner as she made her way back to her dressing room. Im having so much fun, she said after an hour of signing her name. Larsen graduated from SUSC in 1978 with a degree in elementary education and minors in P.E. and dance. On weekdays the . teaches first grade in Salt Lake City and on weekends she becomes a professional wrestler. Im going to be rich and famous. I dont know The referees in these matches have about as much to do with things as a standing eight count in a street fight. how or when but I do know that Im going to be, she said, an assertive expression crossing her face. She has been a model, a dancer, a school teacher and now a wrestler. I have a high pain tolerance. I dont feel much pain. I was raised with two brothers. Three men on the front row begin rubbing their palms together, looking anxiously toward the dressing room doors for a glimpse of the final contestants. One of the men points an old Polaroid with flashbulbs toward the empty ring and clicks a photo. The stage is set for the final match of the evening, the main event for the title of the Rocky Mountain Wrestling Association. The champion, the Ranger, appeared briefly from his dressing room door, but after a quick look decided the time wasnt quite right and returned. Come on, stomp your feet, get them out here, the voice announced. The throng began to tentatively stomp, others clapping their hands and shouting. Five minutes go by and still no wrestlers. Ten minutes go by. Finally the Ranger reemerged. The crowd booed and hissed as he made his way to the ring, the three men on the front row no exception. The Ranger, wearing a faded army fatigue shirt and black tights, scowled at the trio, jabbed a gnarled finger at the men and then at the enormous brass belt that proclaims his title. As he climbed into the ring the mob unleashed more boos and cat calls toward the nights acknowledged villain. Thank you, thank you, thank you, the Ranger said, his head bowing and his arms extended. Empty cups are tossed into the ring as he struts around After another delay, the challenger emerges from the locker room. This time the crowd applauds the giant figure approaching the ring. Steve Gatorwolf, a Cherokee Indian, thrusts his 300 pounds into the ring with the ease of a gymnast. A brightly colored eagle adorns his black wrestling tights. He wastes no time in approaching his opponent. But' the outcome, at least in the minds of the fans, is never really in doubt. Its a question of balance, of good and evil. The best of these matches are presented as conflicts between hero and villain, between good and evil, with theatrical precision. And in small towns along the circuit, the good guy always wins. Always. Monday Ap rit 1, 1985 Page Foremost Frames 39 North Main Street Hours: Tuesday thru Saturday 10:00 am to 6:00 pm ' & Professoinals will custom mat and frame your pieces.

The rose was presented to Hainey in recognition of her service to students at the cafeteria, according to Steve McKibben, director of Resident Living. The rose goes to those employees of the college that the RHA has appreciated, McKibben said. Those employees that have gone just a little bit beyond to help the students. We want to recognize those people who seldom get recognition for doing those jobs that the students appreciate. This will be open to faculty and staff and any employee of the college, he said. McKibben said Hainey was surprised and pleased by the rose. A little recognition goes a long way, he said. Hainey was chosen for her congeniality and her willingness to go out of her way to help students, McKibben said.
