Bowlers in Georgia GREAT MOMENTS IN OUR BICENTENNIAL January 31, 1776: George Washington is three weeks short of his 44th Birthday. January 31, 1976: Melissa Tufts refuses to accept any nnore manuscripts for the new issue of The Cairn GET YOUR WORK IN SOON! THE CAIRN Box 916 Campus Mail This past Saturday, The St. Andrews Bowling team traveled to Savannah, Georgia to compete in the Ar mstrong State Invitational Bowling Tournament. No longer a manber of the now defunct Dixie Conference Bowling league, the SA Keglers are a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Bowling Conference. The cranpetition was excellent Dui the Knights’ results were sfflnewhat disappointing. The Knights met Armstrong state in their opening match and defeated them behind John Porter’s 236. The 923 set was the beginning of the end of the Knights on that day. The next opponent was the University of South Carolina, another pre-tournament favorite. However, the Knights lost by 27 pins, rolling a dismal 821 series. The Knights could not pull them- sdves back together until the seventh game of the 9 game team event. The team produced a fair effort against UNCC with an 877 set but lost. The Knights then faced the University of Georgia and defeated them scoring 926 pins behind Mark Podhorec- ny’s 234, Sub Steve Turner’s 210 and Mick Meisel’s 198. The final game of the team event resulted in a win over a demoralized Qemson team which had been at second spot at midday but lost its last four matches. During the course of the day they also beat a weak Citadel team with a poor score of 802. The final results found SA tied for eighth place with Georgia. The Knights, though visibly disappointed, learned a lesson in their first major tournament since their trip to Kansas City in the spring of 1974. The team realized that they have the talent to com pete with the larger, more ex perienced schools. The pressure of tournament com petition and numerous mental lapses cost the Keglers dearly. With time the Knights should leam to bowl under pressure and compete in the manner in which they are capable. Ironically, the SA rollers beat the team that eventually won the tournament, (Ar mstrong State) by a decisive margin proving that the talent is there. According to Coadi Floyd Blackwell, men tal lapses were the reason for the failure of the Knights to produce better scores. Cap tain Mark Podhorecny was the only SA bowler to not roll a game under 160. John Por ter and Mick Meisel, bowled well most of the time but cracked under pressure at various times during the mat ch. Poter had fine scores of 236,220, and 219 but also had a 130. a 126 and a 136 which If your class meets: 8:30 Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9:30 Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10:30 Monday, Wednesday, Friday 11:30 Monday, Wednesday, Friday 1:30 Monday, Wednesday, Friday 2:30 Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9:30 Tuesday, Thursday 2:30 Tuesday, Thursday The faculty meets this af ternoon to actu upon, among other things, the proposal of the Educational Policy Com mittee regarding absences immediately before and after holidays. The proposal, which has been under discussion for several weeks, was amended at a special meeting on December 3 to considerably lighten the penalty to be im posed iq)on policy violators. Under the original motion of the committee, any student who missed a total of two classes the day before and af ter a holiday or both (e.g., one pulled down a would-be fine average. Meisel scored a 212, a 215 and three above 190 games but also bowled a 145, a 142 and a 137. “Pod” finished tied for 8th in all events competitian. Porter 25th and Meisel 26th. However, the rest of the team faUed miserably. Neither Ed McDonald , Cheryl Roeder Victor, Kim Johnson nor Your exam is: 2 pm Friday 9 am Friday 2 pm Tuesday 9 am Monday 9 am Tuesday 9 am Wednesday 9 am Saturday 2 pm Saturday absence before and one after) would be subject to suspen sion for the balance of the term. This provoked a con siderable negative response from both student association leaders and from the student community at large; it was seen as punitive in nature and not based upon any statistical analysis of just how many students had left school early at recent holiday periods, a fact later acknowledged to be correct. The Senate, meeting last Monday night, debated the proposal at considerable lengft, decide that a strong Steve Turner bowled n) to par. Add to this fact that last years MVP Jim Herring had other commitments and the outcome was inevitable. A team that is used to win ning, as the Keglers are, do not like to taste defeat. The results of the tournament proved to the Knights that their work is cut out for them but the possibility of that championship season remains bright. protest should be presented to the faculty before today’s meeting via letter. A sub committee was formed and directed to draw up a letter stating the objections of the Senate and setting out alter native proposals for con sideration. The EPC held a meeting on December at which the motion was subjected to crai- siderable discussion. A motion was offered to recon sider the motion, and several alternatives offered and discussed. The upshot of the meeting was an amendment of the At tendance Regulatiai set forth on Page 39 of THE SALTIRE (part 3) was offered by Prof. Ron Bayes, declaring that “to preserve the integrity of the (school) calendar and the academic program, students are requir^ to attend the last class meeting of eadi course during the two day period before each recess and the fir st class meeting during the two day period following each recess. A record to at tendance in all such classes will be reported th the Registrar by all Instructors. Two violations of this at tendance policy in a course will result in withdrawing the student from the course with a WP (withdrawn while passing) or a WF (withdrawn while failing), as is ap propriate.” (Parenthetical remarks added.) The committee went on to stipulate that all instructors wiil be expected to meet their» regularly scheduled classes during the two days prior to and following each recess, with alterations in or deviations from the dass schedule requiring the ap proval of both the Dean of the CoUege and the Chairman of the Division in whidi the professor works. Futrell dazzles Bowling class Jo Futrell, the super wheelie in Dean Betts’ Physical Education class, surprised herself and the entire St. Andrews community by rolling a phenomenal 255 game. The feat was accomplished with the aid of a bowling ramp, and her own learned skills. Jo, a freshman from Richlands, NC, commenced bowling this year. Her first games averaged around 100. “Now”, says Mr. Betts, “she has worked and practiced her way to a weekly average of 160. We are extremely proud of Jo for the progress she has made. Her closest rival is Ella Goodwin who has an average of 130. Also, Joan Madden has improved her game to the point where her average is constantly threatening to surpass EUa.” A bowling tournament is set for the near future. It will be exciting to see each of these fine bowlers compete. The stage will soon be set to see which one “rolls to the Challenge”. Sports The St. Andrews Westling Club is eagerly awaiting a scrimmage matdi with Pem broke State University. Althou^ there is no schedule as yet, the grapplers are still working hard and keeping in shape, hoping for a chance at match play.

At this point in time, the Rolling Knights are still trying to recover from a disastrous Charlotte tour nament and perfect their four comers style offense. Results of the wranai’s ping pong tournament came as no surprise as Corlis Reynolds, the preseason favorite, proved victorious, while Jane Miller proved that she was a steady, powerful racketball player in winning the in- tramurals Racketball tour nament.
