E lance, THURSDAY fcBRUARY26,1976 Hamilton Letter (Continued from Page 2) L the people who have Lde it destructively plain L they disagree with ts. I think this is cowar- L and useless in making a Listructive effort toward resolving the present conflict. Sincerely. Clay Hamilton Editor (Continued from Pae 2) J turned into a propaganda Isheet favoring one facticHi I over another. I It must also be taken into Iconsideration that THE LAN- [CE is tiie only campus-wide I communications and in- I formation medium. This im- I poses upon us the respon* Isibility to report as ac- I curately as possible the views I of all segments of the St. An- Idrews community student, [faculty, administrative, or I what have you. We must be I committed to the def initial of I newspaper itself, and that is a I commitment to the truth as I best we can discern it. The I Smith affair has aroused such I violent emotions and has become so complex that you I can fmd in it sranething for I every point of view. We have I to sift through them all and try to find out what the facts I are, leaving the interpretation I up to the reader except when I we offer, for the furthering of I debate on an issue, an opinion I which we see as valid. These lopinions should be taken as 1 such and as nothing more. To the extent that any in stitution is run by people it will always fall ^ort of its aims, and for our short comings in the coverage of I this matter we expect to be called to account. But we also expect to be judged fairly, the absence of wWdi in this in- I stance has created the need for this response. I plan to say no more in my defense and hope that my critics will similarly drop me as an issue and get back to the larger I ones already at hand. Sincerely, Lin 'Riompson, Editor Track Ready 3 This year’s track team is busy preparing for their spring campaign. Under the direction of Coaches Fbyd Blackwell and Dean Betts, the squad should be prepared for the upcoming Methodist In vitational Track and Field Meet next weekend. Heading the list of returning lettermen are Jim Twhaite and Mike Jones. Jones is the sdiool record holder in the triple jump while Thwaite is a stan dout in the javlin, the shotput and discus. Hampton Peele returns as the top pole vaulter whill Jake Jacobs and Bill Owens were tops in sprint events last year. Bob Pedon and Cyril Spann were the top long distance runners last season. Track and field meets are usually not won on the streng^ of a few individuals. The added dimension of this long distance runners last the amount of able bodies competing. There is amole year’s team over last year’s is depth in each event. Sprinters Brothers, Jagne, Richardson and Bowman while middle distance men include Potts, Peterson, Goodwin and Howard. The hurdling events seon to be the strongest aspect of the harriers this year with Don Rookard, Tim Griggs, Peele and Owens competing in both the 120 yrd. and 440 intermediate hurdles. At this stage in the game, it is in the field events where the team is weakest. At present, Rookard is the only high jum per, Peele the sole pole vaulter, Jones the only triple and longer jumper and Thwaite the single shot put ter. The discus and javlin are the only field events where theKnights have depth. Butch Keller, Thwaite and Griggs provide ample support in these categories. The one major problem in track and field this year is that about one third of the in dividuals on the squad also compete in other spring var sity athletics such as baseball, soccer and golf. Training time to the select few could be limited. The im portant factor is for each man to keep in shape and avoid in jury. Track and field competition is growing in interest arounn the country, especially in this, an Olympic year. TTie Dixie conference level of com petition is by no means as strong as NCAA Division I competition but the personal sacrifice is the same. The events in track and field are grueling, punishing and fulfilling. This year’s track and field team has a deman ding schedule but the rewards can be great. If injury can be avoided or kept to a minimum this year should produce a winning campaign.
