PAGE TWO THE BENNETT BANNER MONDAY, MARCH 19,1979 School spirit: not just for sports Recently through observation we have noticed that school spirit has faltered within the last month. This decline can be attributed to many factors, but the most outstanding is the end ing of basketball season and other sports events. For some reason, sports are a universal language and peace maker shared by many people. Spectators get together as one and cheer for their favorite team. All barriers break and we are as one no matter who we are, what we are, or how we are classi fied. It was through basketball that the United States and China began to mend ties. The Olympics promotes unity among athletes from around the world and in turn promotes unity between countries. Why is it that boxer Muhammed Ali received a greater welcome in the Soviet Union than a group of visiting U. S. Sena tors ? Since sports and athletic events are vital to the world, they are also vital to the educational institution. It is through sports that many colleges and universities have become world-famed and have received funds to continue educating students as well as attracting new students. How proud a Clemson student may feel because his or her football team won the Liberty Bowl or how proud a University of Southern California student may feel because 0. J. Simpson played football there or how proud an Aggie may feel because his or her team won the MEAC basketball tournament. School spirit and pride is best promoted during volleyball and basketball season at Bennett. Freshmen, sophomores, jun iors and seniors unite for a common interest. It is through these events that anxieties are released, friends are acquired and problems are forgotten, at least for a few hours. It is in view of sports that we wish to commend all who con tribute to our athletic programs as a promoter of unity and school spirit. We also wish to have available at our school more athletic events and encourage more participation among the student body. What would this mad, chaotic world be like without the pleas ure of relaxing while watching or participating in sports? I SPORTS seASots/~n "6!

The atmosphere in the cof feehouse was most relaxing and enjoyable. I only wish that more students would have at tended for they truly missed a treat. I sincerely hope that it will occur again, and maybe next time there will be more participants and spectators. Your efforts were not in vain for all spectators truly enjoyed the show.
