Ponder, McNab to Leave p. 4 Vol. 73 No. 19 Quakers Take District 26 Championship, Trip to Kansas City by Scott Genualdi It has been ten years since Guilford appeared in the District 26 Tourna ment and thirteen years since the Quakers arrived at the big show in Kansas City. But the unlikely oc curred when those droughts were stopped as the Quakers won the District 26 Tournament with a 92-75 decision over Belmont Abbey on March 8. Last Tuesday, the Quakers were ousted from the NAIA National Tournament in the opening round by Wheeling (WV) Jesuit College. Wheeling Jesuit earned the fifth seed in the tournament with their two victories over Concord College in District 28 final. They lead the na tion in free-throw percentage. Guilfordis upset of two powerful Dis Quaker Editor Continues to Stir Up Controversy by Jay Underwood While the future of the Quaker still lies in limbo, the yearbook's editor has become an outspoken opponent of the delay. One of the primary reasons for the delay of the 1987-88 Quaker is the inclusion of a photograph of a female student pulling up her shirt, sources say. The student allegedly did not sign a written release that gave authority to print the picture, and the student protested the inclusion of the photo graph to the publications board last month. Publications board officials sub sequently stated that the decision about the release of the Quaker was hindered by legal complications that were being worked out with the great est possible cares. "It's so stupid it's funny," said Yearbook Editor Andrew Stuart, who is currently doing graduate work at UNCG. "The way it's dragging out is nonsense," he said. The photograph was to be included in a photo spread entitled "Off- Campus Pleasure Palaces," which Stuart says was designed as a parody of the controversy between students and college administrators about the issue of off-campus living. "Administrators at that time in sinuated that people were moving off-campus to have all kinds of illicit GUILFORDIAN trict teams did not earn them any respect from the seeding committee. The 16-9 record was the worst record of any of the teams in the tourna ment The Cardinal thrives on their in side play. Coach Jay DeFruscio states, "Our game is the power game inside." "We drew a physical team," says Guilford Coach Jack Jensen, 'There is a lot of contact that is not called in the first two rounds of the tourna ment because the [tournament] offi cials have to play so many games in one day. They start at 9 a.m. and don't finish until after midnight They can't possibly call all the fouls that take place because there is not time." Wheeling Jesuit entered the tour sex and do drugs.... [The spread] was a satire on that," said Stuart. Stuart charged that the administra tion didn't want to see such dark issues brought to light. "The contro versy about off-campus living was ugly, but it's my responsibility as a journalist to cover the good and the bad," he said. This recent controversy is only part of a list of complications that the Quaker has run into, causing the re lease of the book to drift further and further away from its original release date slated for August 13, 1988.

Russ said, "We want to prevent another double-digit increase by involving as many students as possible in that process." He also said that this year's Senate reacted too late to the upcoming tuition in crease. Reid, who served this year as Vice- President of the Senate, said that this coming year "We will demand no more double-digit increases, and we'll do whatever we can to secure that.

Beckwith says: "I felt good but it takes four others to play. We were taken out of our offense by them. We had no second shots in the second half. It was hard to get the ba]l inside with their packed zone. They are a real physcial team and we are not used to that." Tyra Parson made his first trip to Kansas City: "It made me nervous.
