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.

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.
Anyone who smokes cig
arettes please save their
empty cigarette packs. Phi
Theta Kappa is saving them
to raise money for the Can
cer Society.
