Defense Punishes E& H
By Doug Drotman
Zap, Bang, Ka-pow—doesn't
this sound like a Batman car
toon? Well, if it's not, the next
best guess would be the Quaker
defense. As I sat in the press box
and witnessed a spectacular
defensive performance I felt
myself cringing in awe of the
punishment and solid tackling
that the defense delivered. In
disposing of a surprisingly
physical Emory and Henry team
16-0, defense and special teams
outshined a grinding but
frustrating offense.
On a soggy, cold and miserable
day in Glade Springs, Va., on the
campus of the Wasps of Emory
and Henry, three Bryan Wilson
field goals and a touchdown pass
from David Cunningham
(11-23-114) to Charlie Heard,
won't come close to telling this
story.
Charles Kepley, Scott O'Kelley,
Tom Shahady, Robert Assfalg,
Todd Shoping, Jim Bethea, Billy
Smith, Tim Everherdt, Pernell
Jefferson, Lamar Boykin, and

much household names as "the

I Need Some Mail!
By Janice Lynch
I've spent almost $20,000 for my
education at Guilford and there is
one thing which I have learned
well—how to wait for mail. My
freshman year I waited despera
tion; my sophomore year I began
subscribing to cheap magazines
like "Hot Rod News"; my junior
year I checked for mail once a
week; this year I'm trying to be
nonchalant.
I have a mail-checking routine.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, im
mediately following foundations
of math, I walk to the mailroom. I
squat down at P.O. Box 17306, cup
my hands over my eyes, and peer
into that little slit, looking for the
shadows of an envelope. I do not,
Steelers, but these men can hit.
The statistics will speak for
themselves: Emory and Henry
offense: 3 fumbles, 2 intercep
tions, 1 first down, 42 yards on 26
rushing attempts, 7 completions
in 24 attempts for 27 yards pass
ing gave the Wasps 69 yards of
fense on 53 plays.
Play after play official
timeouts had to be called to pick
up bruised bodies and patch them
up so they could continue. Quaker
trainers Mary Neal Broos, Randy
Pridgen, Donna Becker, Barbara
Williams and Courtney Collier
had a full afternoon's work.
Bryan Wilson coming off being
named NAII Offensive Player of
the Week once again led the
special teams with field goals of
30, 37, and 26 yards and one extra
point. Jesse James, a freshman
punter, punted 10 times for a 52.5
yard average, including two 49
yarders. Special team coverage
included ferocious hits. Standing
out on special teams were Tony
McMillan, John Montgomery,
Kierran Byrne, Ken Bethea and
Rex Tuggle.
The offense, which was not up
to par, was able to achieve their
however, open the door. I savor
the excitement of possible mail
and go to the swimming pool until
3 p.m. Then I return to the
mailroom, tap my head for my
combination, and slowly open the
door. Delay of gratification for
tifies the soul.
Usually there's nothing in the
box except campus mail
(generally dull) or mail for my
boxmate. On bad days I crumple
those flyers and drop them on the
floor. Actually, there is only a
moment's gratification on receiv
ing a letter. It's like Christmas
when you were eight: under all
that lovely wrapping paper you
find some new underwear. I get
notices for bounced-checks and
subscription letters from "Golf
Digest".
Lady Quakers Keep on the Roll
By Tim Meaders
The Lady Quakers traveled to
Shaw University on September
20. Excellent teamwork by both
the offense and defense powered
the Quakers to an easy victory
15-2, 15-4, 15-1.
The next match was against
Atlantic Christian College. The
Lady Quakers received their first
ball control game plan. By the
designed ball control style, Coach
Forbes figured he could wear out
the much smaller Wasp defense.
He chose ball control over "Big
Play" offense because mistakes
have killed the Quakers thus far.
The turnover free offensive
began in the trenches by Greg
Baker, Eric Scott, Scot Kendrick,
Ron Gilkerson and Alan Foley
opening holes up the middle for
fullbacks Billy Holland (15-58)
and Mike Reardon (8-20) to plow
through.
On October Bth, the Quakers
meet Davidson in the annual
Homecoming game. Admission is
free to students and Dr. Ap
penzeller urges students to
disregard the line and walk
straight on in.
Letters to
Dear Editor,
At the latest group meeting of
the London semester, the
Schwabs brought several copies
of the first two issues of the
"Guilfordian" to us. We gobbled
them up, delighted to hear news
from "home." My roommate and
I were thoroughly impressed by
the new format, content, and ac
curacy. I especially liked seeing
faces to go with the "Quotables."
Wendy and I feel compelled,
however, to respond to the
editorial of Sept. 14, "Free Ex
pression." Being interested in
journalism myself and a former
member of the publication board,
I not only acknowledge, but
wholeheartedly support the view
that the editor(s) of a newspaper
have the final say in the paper's
content. Our complaint stems
from the statement "The major
argument lies not with the prin
ciples of college policies but with
.the crucial issue of free expres
sion."
This waiting began when I was
fifteen years old and was sent to a
camp for artistically gifted and
talented children. We were hous
ed in a dormitory near the prac
tice field for the Baltimore Colts.
In the afternoons, instead of
writing sonnets, my friends and I
would go to the field, screaming
at the players, "I need a male! I
need a male! You see how easily
that's transmitted to "I need
mail!"
Now that my sister and I are at
the same college, our relatives
write one letter. They alternate
our addresses so one of us always
gets her name pencilled in or
written with red ink. It's not the
same when you have to share a
letter.
major setback. Coach Gayle Cur
rie described it best, "We played
awful." The Lady Quakers were
on the road for 3Vfe hours before
the match. The team still feeling
the effects of the long road trip
did not communicate, serve or
receive well the entire night.
Atlantic Christian, led by Becky
Pace, defeated the Quakers, 15-8,
17-15. The Lady Quakers im
mediately played St. Augustine.
Still groggy, the Quakers were
defeated by a St. Augustine squad
15-3, 17-15.
The Lady Quakers returned
home to face Mars Hill and the
traditional rival High Point Col
lege. The Quakers pummeled
Mars Hill 15-6, 15-3. The Lady
Quakers were led offensively by
Amy Parrish and Sharon Vanis.
They were also led by defensive
standouts Dana Cooper and
Nicole Ronan. The Lady Quakers
destroyed High Point College
15-10, 15-2. Strong front line play
by Suzanne Lowe, Kelly Carlton
and Dana Cooper plus pinpoint
serving by Amy Parrish and
Sharon Vanis proved to be the
key factors in both games.
We disagree. The major argu
ment does lie with college policy:
not that of the alcohol policy, but
that of respect for the concerns of
others. Bill Rogers expressed an
area of real concern at Guilford
that of the promotion of alcohol
consumption. Last year steps
were taken by the Student Senate
to encourage responsible drink
ing and we know that college
policy has kept alcohol out of the
Grill Room.
We find your insistence on
technicalities nit-picking and not
in keeping with the college's em
phasis on assuming personal
responsibility. For instance, it is
understood that the honor code
accompanies all Guilford exer
cises, whether or not one is asked
to sign the statement on a par
ticular assignment.
You state early in the editorial

that "A function of student-run
newspapers is to represent the
personality and values of the
students at that college."
Agreed! One of these values is
the respect given to students in
authority, such as your position.
The fact that there is no written
policy regarding ads
demonstrates this respect. We
feel that to truly represent the
Guilford community you should
be able to return this respect by
complying with institutional con
cern in this delicate issue unless
you can provide better justifica
tion than technical grievances.
Journalistic integrity means
more than printing whatever is
available, especially if what you
print causes unnecessary, un
wanted alienation between
students and administration.
Respectifully,
