THE CLARION Page 3 Sports Shorts The Rams of Southeastern were defeated by the Dolphins of the College of the Albemarle 84-74 in their first intercollegiate basket ball game. The team showed great spirit even though there was little support from the student body. “Oh where, oh where have the cheerleaders gone,” was the cry of the handful of Southeastern spectators that did attend the game. The team did well, but it would have helped them to know that the student body was behind them. Let’s hope there will be more support for the followiife games. Incidentally, girls, a pep rally might help arouse some interest among the student body. The Rams will participate in an Invitational Basketball Tourna ment at Carolina MUitary Academy in Maxton, January 20-21. There will be four teams participating and the top three will re ceive trophies. The four teams taking part in the tournament are: Southeastern, Carolina Military, Sandhills, and Methodist College (Freshmen). Intramiral football was supposed to have begun last but since there was not enough interest and participation the games were canceled. This quarter an all-campus table tennis tournament will shortly get underway for all students who wish to participate. Pad(fles and balls will be furnished. Rules will be distributed by toe physic^ education department. Only gym shoes wUl be allowed on tte court. The winner of the tournament will receive a trophy or plaque. Intramural basketball is scheduled to begin in jMuary, shortly after the Christmas holidays. Games will be played at 4:30 on Tuesdays. Intramural basketball information will be posted on the bulletin board in the gym lobby. EDITORIAL You, the Student Body are always complaining about nothing to do at Southeastern. Why doesn’t the college sponsor something you ask. Well, for all the unknowing, unseeking fun lovers some thing did happen — and it was publicized for weeks in advance. , „ Saturday night, December 3, Southeastern s Rams played their fist basketball game. This was an excellent first for our growing college, but where was the student support? Out of approximately 500 students enrollM at Southeastern only 45 showed up for the game. There were more parents and high school students at our first game than college students. Where were you — at a high school game? ^ . .. You say you had a date. Well, why not bring your date to the basketball games. They’re free (with your I.D. card) and the games are usually over by 10 p.m. It would take so little effort to support the Rams, and you pro bably would enjoy the evening. ■ u * ok: The boys on the team go out and play to their best aoi- lity and no one shows up to support them. Some college spirt. Southeastern has a fine team but even a g^^®^ needs support. Show the team and the college ^ are really behind them by attending the games and enur ing. It’s your college and your team. Both need your lu support. Sports Review Rams Defeated By the Dolphins Southeastern’s Rams lost the first game of Dolphins of Albemarle, 84-74.

Free—2 Pair of Hose With Original Charge Purchase Students Reading Rate Is Doubled “Sixty students successfully completed the Reading Improve ment classes offered by South eastern College during the Fall Quarter,” reported Reading In structor Donald Causey. He related that “nearly every student at least doubled his rate of reading with increased com prehension.” The average rate of reading of students when they enrolled in the class in September was slightly less than 200 words per minute. The final average rate of reading at the end of the quarter ex ceeded 400 words per minute. “Not only did the students make progress in reading rate and comprehension,” stated Mr. Causey, “but an increase of nearly ten per cent in vocabulary building was noted.” “By combining equipment and materials of several departments of the college, the reading labora tory became one of the best working laboratories in this area,” said Mr. Causey. Reading Improvement classes are not restricted to incoming freshmen, but are open to all students who want to speed up their reading rate and increase their comprehension.
