Athletics?????' Student Survey I don’t think there should be a certain cut system — it should be In the last few months many questions have been raised left up to the individual teacher. mncernine the position intercollegiate athletics should hold Bill Billingsley r •* Viovp at see. The most disturbing and radical proposal has been I thmk it’s lousy and you should get nd o it. that of discontinuing the funds allotted for athletics by the '^^J^harT^th^ student s own ris . SGA. ., , It’s o.k.toleave it up to the individual teacher. Although their proposal has met with little support a closer analysis of the situation reveals at least one very valid alright the way it is—but if you come up short at the end reason for discontinuing the program: that is the sports and didn’t attend class regularly you can forget it. program is inadequately funded by the SGA, making it pam Gurganus impossible for the sports program to function effectively.

The budget proposed by the SGA for the year 1972-1973 will necessitate the cancellation of soccer, baseball and tennis for SCC. Their budget cut will also make it even harder for the remaining sports to function effectively. IT IS TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE POSITIVE ASPECTS OF THE SPORTS PROGRAM even though it has its shortcomings, and judge through the laws of ob jectivity the future, sports should have at SCC. The one dominant handicap is the lack of adequate facilities. Athletic events at SCC are juggled to ac commodate the high schools that own the athletic fields and gymasium that SCC plays on. For example, the baseball team has had five home games: two were played at Whiteville; two at Hallsboro; one at Chadbourn. How can a person expect crowd support whenever schedules are arranged for the convenience of other schools? And one argument that opponents of the sports program have continually used is the lack of crowd support. covered within the quarter. Jdk0 Jon0s Jr I like it like it is. A student who is a B student should many cuts as he wishes if he maintains a B being responsible for any material he missed.

Some students go to class everyday and still don’t make good grades — it’s the student himself. Carlyn Pearson Go to class when you feel like it and suffer the results. General Johnson Each student should have as many cuts but not take advantage of the cuts. Nathan Godwin Put more cuts on it. Freddie Barnes I think you should have more cuts.

But is the lack of fans a good enough reason to out funds which affect other sports; especially when the major problem is the lack of an athletic field, which I may add, SCC is supposed to have have by now ? Another aspect of the problem and a rather tragic one is II.. a n/iccin/p Sharon Graham I think its alright the way it is. James Marlev I don’t think you should have cut system.
