spring Class Schedule-See pp. 8 “ 9 Wat Olnlumns Vol. 49, No. 3 The Student Voice of Louisburg College November 1, 1989 Lady ’Canes Take Tournament Take me out to the hallgame . . . by Martha Spencer, Staff Writer Softball, that is. On Saturday, October 7, the Lady ’Canes played in the all-day Round Robin Softball Tournament. The weather was great, and the 18- member team took full advantage of it. The ’Canes played two winning games, beating Adantic Christian and Virginia Wesleyan. Then, assured of a place in the championship game. Coach Sheilah Cotten put in her first- year players against Christopher Newport. Although the Lady ’Canes lost that contest, they had another chance at Christopher Newport in the final bout at 7:00. The final action of the championship game was rather exciting. Behind 5-4 at the bottom of the seventh inning, Diane Parham, the clean-up hitter in the number four spot, hit a double to left field, bringing in two runners on base. This was probably the highlight of the game; it was also the winning hit. Tammy Newman, starting pitcher, feels that the toumament and the hard practice was “very beneficial to the freshmen and reinforced the skill of the sophomores.” With the 6-5 final score, this can’t be doubted. The whole team seemed to have a very positive attitude. Freshman Tammy Davis, who plays second base, says, “The LacH' ’Canes gave 110% and were always striving to be the best.” This feeling is shared by Coach Cotten, who thinks that their great success on the field c'an be accredited to the fact that the players take pride not only in themselves, but in their team as well.

The SGA discussed an alleged rise in Open House violations. Annette Partin, Assistant Dean of Students, says that the number of violations so far this year is about 45. The SGA feels that measures must be taken to preserve the Open House policy. The Open House policy as it stands is printed in the college Folk Festival: handbook, and if a student wanted background on the Open House policy the handbook is a perfect source and worth reading. This Open House policy replaces a limited policy' which allowed visitation on only Tuesdays and Thursdays 7-1 i p.m. The previous policy had not been changed since the early 70’s. Recently I spoke with the 1988- 1989 SGA president, Michael Seep. 14 Stick Around for the Weekend? By Ron Hasson, Features Co-Editor Are weekends at Louisburg dragging you down?
