September 15,1999 Meredith Herald Campus Sports 7 Faculty, students scrimmage in tennis match Tracy Sumner Slatl Wnter Meredith College has always had a sense of community. An important part of this is the fac ulty’s enthusiastic support of student activities. It is not unusual to see faculty members cheering on students at athletic events or participating in events like Cornhuskin'. The annual Faculty Scrim mage, in which the faculty joins together to take on the Meredith tennis team, has been a tradition for many years. Dressed in matching tye-dyed T-shirts, members of the facul ty pair up for some tough dou bles competition. The Meredith faculty gels a chance to show its support of the team, while the women hone their skills in preparation for the firsi match of the sea son. "It gives us a dress-rehearsal for our opening match," Coach Melinda Campbell said before the scrimmage- ‘This is also a chance for faculty and students to interact. It helps us feel like we have backing and support from the Meredith staff.” This year, the scrimmage was held on Thursday. Sept. 9, at the Meredith tennis courts. Nine faculty members showed up to challenge the new tennis team. There was an atmosphere of fun and festivity as the tennis team had a change of pace from its regular daily practices. After brief introductions, Coach Campbell matched fac ulty members against the team's doubles partners. As the players warmed up, it was evident that most of the women were more skillful but no more enthusiastic than their opponents. Psychology department Head Dr. Jack Huber said with a laugh, ‘This lets us know that the sands of time are running." On a more serious note he added. "It also shows how much Meredith athletics has improved." As the matches progressed, it was obvious that the women were enjoying a break from the normally fierce competition of college tennis. ‘The scrimmage was a fun way to start off the season," said freshman Ashley ciEon YOUR can! fnRfl i/ hcivin^ o Ccir Ulo/h (he BufQor Kin^ on IlYciit ferry Rood in mi/zioA Yolley Shoppin9 Center* Come on folurdoy. fepl. 18 from 10 o.m. lo 9 p.m. Thcfc u AO chQf9e. but donolion/ ofc oeeopled!

Dempsey, who teamed up with fellow freshman Allison How ell to defeat Huber and Bur- gunde Winz of the foreign lan guage department. "It's nice to know that the faculty is so sup portive of the tennis team." History and politics Head Dr. Michael Novak, one of the more lively competitors, kept everyone entertained with his on-court antics throughout the match. As the faculty representative of the athletic department, Novak is responsible for mak ing sure that all Meredith ath letes adhere to the NCAA Divi sion III academic requirements. All of the faculty members were extremely impressed with the talent the tennis team dis played on the court- Winz was especially pleased. “The girls are very impressive. You think you can hold your own, but you can’t!” she said with a laugh. Executive Vice President Chuck Taylor has participated in the event for several years. This year he was especially humbled by the women’s excellent court play. ‘The ten nis team is headed for a suc cessful season, and the admin istration is headed back to the bench," he joked. The tennis team starts its fall schedule this week with home matches on Monday and Fri day. Letter to the Editor: Thanks to Summer Reading Committee How many people does it take to create a successful Summer Reading Program? This is the question that I pondered last fall when preparations began for the first Summer Reading Program for freshmen. It took effort from the entire Meredith community to make the program the success it has been. There was not one department or office that was charge of overseeing the project. The original Summer Read ing Program Committee was an interdisciplinary committee that met to decide on the book, discussion topics, and formats. This committee consisted of Lori Brown. Sociology Department; Martha Burpitt. Department of Human and Environmental Sciences; Rebecca Duncan; English Department. Ann Glea son; Dean of Students. Eloise Grathwohl, English Department; Carolyn Happer. Department of History and Politics; Stephanie Harris. Director of Commuter Life and Special Services; Becky Oatsvall, Busi ness Department; and Toni Parker, department of education. Also to be commended are the 26 facul ty facilitators who graciously gave their time and energy to advise the small group sessions that the freshmen attended. Thanks go out to the student advisors who led small group discussions. Many people enabled this event to be a great way to close the program. Beth Mulvaney, head of the con vocation committee coordinated the convocation along with extensive help from John Kincheloe from Media Services who prepared the slide show and collage. Lisa Fredenburgh and Ed Stephenson are thanked for their beautiful musical presentation. Speakers Dr. Carolyn Happer of the department of history and politics, Vice President of Student Development Dr. Jean Jackson, and Dr. Alisa John son of the English department played influential parts in bringing the story of Sadie and Bessie Delany into our own lives. Without the technical assistance of Bill Brown and the Jones Auditorium staff, this event would never have been able to take place. Faculty and staff were not the only people who worked hard the Summer Reading Program and Convocation. Upperclass volunteers served as ushers while the SGA. Senior, Junior, and Sophomore class presidents led the freshman procession. The 1999 Summer Reading Program was a community effort. Last fall, the Summer Reading Pro gram Committee realized what a huge task they had to accomplish in a short amount of time. These dedicated individuals can certainly relate to Sadie Delany's comment, "Life is short, it's up to you to make it sweet." Sincerely.
