Claytor And Loftus On Poor
Several things occurred
during Saturday’s soccer
match with Christopher-
Newport which represented
extremely poor taste on the
part of several persons. In
sulting, vulgar and
derogatory remarks were
made by some persons, in the
crowd toward the
Christopher-Newport players
and referees, remarks that
far exceeded the good taste of
enthusiastic support for one’s
own team in athletic com
petition. Also, the music being
played by several students
from a Mecklenburg balcony
was so loud it interfered with
the coaches’ ability to call out
instructions to players on the
field during the game. Too,
one record played as an af
front to many who were
subjected to its vulgar taste
and language, proving an
embarrassment to a number
of visitors, students, staff and
towns people. Several verbal
requests from the athletic
department to not play music
during the games were being
ignored.
In response to these in
cidents, we suggest that
everyone read Student
Association President Jeff
Walker’s dialogue on the
matter. We further state
emphatically that this kind of
behavior will no longer be
tolerated, not only at soccer
game,s but at any other such
events. This is not responsible
behavior and it does not
respect the rights of all
persons in the St. Andrews
conununity. Such reckless
and thoughtless personal
behavior demonstrates a lack
of sympathy with the pur
poses, policies and
procedures of St. Andrews. In
the future, those responsible
for such behavior will be
subject to suspension from
the College.
It also seems necessary to
remind persons of the alcohol
poUcies of the college which
do not allow alcoholic
beverages to be consumed
openly on campus. Only at
those activities where an
alcohol permit has been
secured, in advance, from the
Dean of Students’ office can

Apologies have been written
to Christopher-Newport with
the assurance that this type of
behavior will not happen
again.
Our reaction is admittedly
harsh. However, it was forced
on us by people who failed
utterly to acknowledge the
rights 0 others. We sincerely
hope that we will never again
be forced to do this.

Score
7-3 Victory
By Vivian Bikulege
Diligently continuing their
volleyball season, the St.
Andrews Women’s Volleyball
Team has built itself a very
fine record of seven wins and
three loses.
According to their coach.
Miss JoAnn Williams, the
women hit a slump after a
tournament they attended in
Charlotte. However, they
havp nroeressively improved
thier play and are starting to
realize the potential that
exists on the team.
A new addition to the team
is Barbara Patton, a fresh
man from Laurinburg, who
has added a lot and will start
against Coker. Two other
members of the team are Kim
Powell and Warra Foster,
both showing consistency and
alot of effort along with being
a major supporting factor for
the team. Out with a hairline
fracture is Diana Pretz who is
also a substantial help and
hopefully will see more
playing time before the
season ends. Robin DeRosa

has also showed improvement
this year and she is another
player important to the
strategy of the Blue Coots.
Upcoming in a future article,
more personal insight will be
given to other individuals
important to the team.
A few scores: Oct. 2, SA
over Meredith 12-15, 15-9 and
15-6. SA over Shaw 15-13 and
15-13. Oct. 4 A.C.C. over SA
15-7,10-15 and 15-13. Elizabeth
City over SA 15-2,10-15 and 15-
5. Oct. 9 N.C. Wesleyan over
SA 9-15,15-11 and 15-6. Also on
that date, Meredith over SA
15-0 and 15-6. On Oct. 19 it was
SA over Elizabeth City 5-15,
15-13 and 15-13.
Volleyball seems' to be a
game that can go one way or
the other despite talent as is
often proved from match to
match. However, it, like all
other sports, needs that
guarantee of consistent play.
When this is achieved the
game becomes an art. Please
support your team as it oc
cupies home court in their
upcoming matches.

Comments
I am pleased with the
support the soccer team has
received this year from the
student body at large. Their
enthusiasm has added greatly
to the overall structure of the
athletic program. We en
courage this at all home (or
away) contests because it
excites the players involved
and causes them to “work
harder”. I have heard some
coaches say “an enthusiastic
home crowd is as valuable to
winning as your depth and
bench strength”. This is
basically true!
However, when spectator
support turns negative,
certain athletic and personal
principles are violated. When
our numerous athletic teams
visit other campuses, we
expect to be treated with
respect. This stems from the
fact that we are not enemies,
but a brotherhood of athletes
trying to play well, and better
ourselves through com
petition. The same holds true
when teams visit St. Andrews.
They are our established
friends and we owe them our
loyalty, our respect, and our
support. At no time should our
players, coaches, or spec
tators abuse this right by
embarrassing them, as in
dividuals or as a team.
On behalf of myself, and the
soccer team, I wish for
continued support from our
college community, in helping
us establish fraternal
relationships among all
athletic participants.
