Lady ’Canes Take
Tournament

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.

On Tuesday the 10th of
October the SGA called an
emergency meeting. 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
