Editorial
We hate to sound iiKe a broken record, although in this case
that may well be a particularly apt analogy. What we want to
repeat is the importance of supporting the Concert Committee,
the C.U.B. and SEA LEVEL. A second effort such as that put
out for CHOICE could well finally establish the long-sought
concert tradition at St. Andrews. And there are rumblings of
good things in the future
And just to get our last two cents in on something that’s come
off better than even the sponsors anticipated: Pie Hit week has
come and nearly gone, filled with surprises, laughter, and a lot
of support for M^D. But did you ever wonder why LANCE
editor Michael Greene (who left his staff to ghost this piece)
suddenly discoverd a computer confrence or something like
that in Savannah all week? We think he’s a chicken.

year in St. Andrews history

has earned tiie status to
compete in such an event. The

To The Editor:
In the most recent edition of
the Lance, a rather disturbing
and even appalling letter was
pubUshed. It was submitted by
Dean Claytor and Prof. Loftus
and concerned itself with the
“extremely poor taste of the
student body at sport events.”
Perhaps this student s
reaction to the letter may well
be opinionated-perhaps Prof.
Loftus and Dean Cla>^or were
correct on some points, but
overall their reaction was as
rash and even harsh as this
reaction.
This school and it’s student
body possess perhaps the
greatest school spirit that I
have ever come across.
Considering thefact that I
have previously attended an
ACC school and all the therein
entwined social functions, I
can truthfully stated that
comparatively St. Andrews
students are indeed more
inclined to support all school
functions.
It can be expected, that
vulgarity and ‘roughhousing’
accompany sports; without
them, sports would exhibit as
much excitement as a
crawling turtle-namely none.
Ever player, as well as every
student, exhibits
aggressiveness that must by
nature appear in some form.
However, fans do not become
aggressive unless provoked to
do so. Therefore, the blame
can not toally be placed up this
school’s students. Perhaps if
we were to play fair teams and
have good referres, we would
not react as strongly as we
have.
The music, beer and general
fighting is not necessary:
however catcalls and even
God-forbid, vulgarity are as
much of the sport as the ac
tions on the field. Fans of
every sport react with the
same vigor and excitement as
exhibited on this campus.
Acording to the 1st amend
ment, we are allowed to ex
press ourselves without fear of
censoring. Thus, suspension
would neither be wise nor
suiting to the occasion. If all
the committees and all the
teams concerned wish to avoid
this predicament, then nulify
student participation--that
would certainly end all of the
problems no one wants to talk
about. By law, we as college
students—moreoever as
adults-are responsible for our
actions. It is not as if we were
still in high school where
every slight wrong-doing can
be punished by suspension. I,
for one, am generally a gentle
person, therefore not the kind
of person so vividly described
in the letter. This is mainly
because of my physical size
and my inability to accept
pain. However, I have and will
continue to exhibit some of the
“negative’ forms of ex
pression mentioned in the
letter. I do not express myself
thusly unless I am proviked
beyond normality, if
“shooting the moon” is con
sidered good sportsmanship,
then I shall refrain from
allowing myself to be heard
verbally. If “aggravated
assult” as exhibited by
visiting teams (especially
Virginia Wesleyan and
Christopher-Newport) is
considered well-mannered,
then I shall remove myself
from the field and place
myself into self-confinement.
But until this occurs, which I
truely doubt, I will exhibit
myself as the occasion
requests.
Beer, music, and fighting
are not necessary and should
be punished, but ver
balizations should not be
censored until all the facts are
carefully weighed and con
sidered. Perhaps our attitude
and behavior is appalling to
certain visitors, but I am
certain, that all our ex
pressions have been heard
hundreds of times by these
visitors. If not, then I suggest
that our visitors get out of
seclusion and come into the
real world.

Bowden; Let’s Not Ruin It
Letter to the Editor,
Dear St. Andrews Student
Body,
For the past week we have
been involved in a campus
wide contributed to muscular
dystrophy and I would like to
say a few things before we
complete the week of events.
For those of you who sup
plied the faces which at
tracted this week’s donations,
thank you. You have made a
contribution even if it was
reluctant and it involved
giving some time of yourself.
Yes, you were hit with sticky
whip cream and you had to go
shower, but you know what?
You walked to that shower and
in doing so you added $2 to the
fund which hopes to some day
insure that more peopole have
the same freedoms you
exercise. I must add a very
special thanks to you who had
to wheel to the showers.
You’ve been very good sports
and we can take a lesson from
you.
For the faculty who added to
our gallery of faces, you are
special people. Not only are
you good sports but by making
yourselves open to attack, you
have given the St. Andrews
Muscular Dystrophy Fund
much more of an opportunity
for collecting money.
To the cafeteria workers,
Benny Cox, Peg Kays and
Grey Fox thank you for put
ting up with our mess. I would
especially like to thank the
lovely lady in desserts who
was patiently silent when we
twice accidently invaded her
private store of whip cream.
We’ve all had a good time
seeing people hit and the
tension in the air of who’s next
is fun, but let’s say now, and
really emphasie, pie throwing
ends Friday at midnight and
any renegade pies thereafter,
especially in the cafeteria or a
classroom could be serious
trouble for the thrower. For
once, let’s not ruin a good
or a good cause. I think
everone agrees a week is way
plenty for pie throwing.

means of making the play
vital for St. Andrews audien
ces.

travel, distant universes, and
heavy uses of metallic fabric
