Sports continued: And now for something com pletely different... The St. Andrews women's rugby team (also called the Rhi nos) will be playing for the very first time this S unday, March 1 st, in a scrimmage against Duke and Old Dominion. The game will be held at Duke. The women's team was started up by junior Amy Snow who played in Scotland this fall. "Rugby is a great sport," says Snow. "There's nothing like it, especially for women. Men have sports like football, but for many women rugby is the first full contact sport they've ever played." Currently there are six teen St. Andrews women playing rugby and those interested in play ing are encouraged to come out. Both Amy and club president Andy Rider are happy with how the team is coming along, and with the help of Garreth Griffith and Kevin Finch they are quickly learning the game. Both teams are hoping to host games during Ganza weekend. For information (times , loca tions, etc .) on sporting events during March please see Comings & Goings. *4 I P I I I i n m K* I % I A I I «» 4 continued from page 5. Ship Yards. During our stay in Korea, the work ers of Hyundai were striking, and so, we had a glimpse of some of their protests. Traffic was slow because of the many busloads of riot police which blocked intersec tions. Our final venture took us to Panmunjom, the infamous city of the 38th parallel in which the DMZ runs. Unfortu nately, only the Ameri can students were al lowed to go; we left the USO in Seoul and trav elled by bus to the Joint Security Area where meetings and confer ences are held between North and South Korea. We received an Army briefing and finally toured the base. Yes, we did cross right into North Korean territory in the Freedom House Confer ence Room (it was safe!) Being that close to Com munist Korea, we were able to see North Korean guards which stood at attention at their posts. Of course, they were very interested in us, peering at us through their binoculars. I believe this tour was the most revealing toourgroup...it made us realize how lucky we are in America for all of the freedoms we take for granted. As mentioned before, Taejon was our "home" for the month. We be came a familiar sight for many Taejon residents, making daily stops into litde grocery stores for Cokes, which we would laterretum for recycling. The ladies at the post of fice loved the mass con fusion we always caused. The workers at Chicago's Pizza, Wendy’s, and Baskin-Robbins knew they were i n trouble when they saw us coming. And last but not least, we were a big hit on the public buses. OK - so we had a couple misadventures at times, but overall, it was a great journey. Beth Kerley is our exchange student in Ko rea this year, and she ac companied us during our adventure in Korea. Un fortunately, we had to bid her farewell since she still had to complete five more months of study. We encourage anyone interested in this program to pursue the year ex change to Han Nam. It was truly a wonderful experience.
