Baseball Season Opener March 2 By Denise Norris With the distinction of be ing second in the nation in E.R.A. (Div. Ill) last year, the St. Andrews Knights Baseball Team’s upcoming season should be anexcellent one. Four of the five pitchers who attained this honor are returning for another season of play. The expertise of these players along with the new talent and returning players should help this to be a memorable season for the Knights. According to Coach Jerry Acanfora, the strengths of the team include their ability to hit as well as to work together. Returnees to the roster in clude; Senior Dyke Anstead, short stop and team co captain; Robert Cooper, sophomore pitcher; Jeff Kirk, senior co-captain and 1st baseman; Senior pitcher John McNeill; sophomore Dean English, outfielder and pitcher; and junior pitcher Wayne Moore. Newcomers to the Knights team are working well into the program according to both Coach Acanfora and veteran ploycr^^—Fitsliman talent includes: Joe Costello, pitcher and outfielder; Patrick Kerr, pitcher and right fielder; outfielder Chuck Vestal; and catcher Larry Andrews. Also joining the team are: sophomore 1st baseman Jim Wheeler; junior pitcher Mike Ur- quhart; sophomore out fielder Kevin Purcell; junior 2nd baseman Dwayne Cribb; and Chris Brantley, a junior who plays 3rd base. Veteran player John McNeill complimented the team’s leadership and the im provement in hitting since last season. Senior Dyke more Ivy League atmosphere because the Seminary is very beautiful in its architectural design. It is approximately 150 years old and has had such figures as Niebuhr and Tillich on the faculty in years past. I could really sense the tradition in the air. Our location was on Broadway and 122nd Street in upper west Manhattan. Harlem was to the east and the north while Columbia University was directly across the street and mid town Manhattan to, the south. Consequently, many types of experience were readily ac cessible for the group. We toured East Harlem to view first-hand some of the com munity work being done there. We were given a tour of a, for lack of a better word, sex shop by a feminist group called Women Against Pornography to see for (Continued From Page 3) ourselves what pornography is really like in New York’s red-light district. Experiences like this added to the academic work we received in the classroom. Then, there was New Y ork entertainment, food, and people. Everything to do and every type of person is in the Big Apple.‘My understand ing of pluralism was redefin ed by living there for over three weeks. Broadway plays, concerts,, ballets, and athletic contests at Madison Square Garden were just some of the things I checked out during my free time in New York City. For anyone interested in this trip, I would be glad to tell you more. I would per sonally encourage students to consider it as a Winter Term option. The expenses are not at all unreasonable. It could not be anything but a wor thwhile experience. -The Lanpo Lady Knights: ‘‘Experience” By Bill Lide If “experienced” is the word best used to describe the men’s tennis team then experience would be the best word to describe their female counterparts. With all eight players returning from last years’ squad, the St. An drews womens tennis team has a lot to look forward to in 1984. The eight returning members from the con ference’s second place team are Mildred Lee, Lydia Kun- dis, Jenny Dimon, Alethea Bacos, Kim Lutien, Natalie Christophe, Carole Knox and Allison Morris. With all of the experience of the returning players the Lady Knights should challengt UNC-Greensboro for the top conference spot this year. Lee and Morris are fom year players and should lead the Knights this year. Kun- dis, Knox, Lee and Lutienal had winning/ecords last year and should do as well, if not better this year. Successful Season Slated By Bill Lide Although inexperienced and relatively young, the St. Andrews men’s tennis team has the potential to have a settSOTtT" Usually teams that have only three returning players can not expect much, but if the results from a recent invita tional tournament are any in dication, the team could have a very good season. Only Marc Tuttle, Vic Halbach and Dan Clark are returning from last year’s squad, but with their ex perience and leadership the three should have a positive influence on newcomers Troy Sellers, Spencer Hull, Steve EsUnger, John Stone and Hal Driggers.
