An editorial...
Call It Censorship
By David Caldwell
President of M-AC’S (NCAE)
Two weeks ago, the M-AC NCAE met for the first time to discuss the topic
of sex education in a forum entitled, "Condoms in the Classroom?" The turn out
was fair for such a small organization and I want to give my thanks to those
responsible for making the meeting a success. I am referring to the party, or parties,
who, due to the controversial nature of the discussion, followed behind me to tear
down the announcements I put on the bulletin boards across campus.
Oh sure, my first reaction was anger but, hey, that Just comes from the fact
that NCAE money and property were being destroyed before they had a chance to
reach maximal potential. I admit that I orginally thought of these vandals as being
a few skuU-rocked, neo-nazi fanatics with a God complex. But was that
unreasonable? Let's face it, to know what is going on in the minds of the NCAE
staff' who designed this discussion as well as what the outcome of that discussion
wiU be, without ever speaking to anyone involved, requires omnscience, right?
Furthermore, to stand in judgment as to what will be discussed by other people on
campus suggests an understanding tantamount to either fascism or divinity and let
it never be said that I refused the benefit of the doubt.
Nevertheless, as it turns out, the NCAE owes a debt of thanks to the Skull-
Rocked family. By tearing down the signs, they created an atmosphere of
controversy that caught the attention of students that mere announcements never
could. They actually increased attendance! So thank you Mr. or Mrs. Vandal,
whoever you are, for getting the N CAE off to a fine start. We will be having another
discussion soon. What do you think about, "Homosexually Deviant Bible
Teachers in the Classroom?" Catchy, huh?
on November 29, when they were de
feated by UNCA with a final score of
81-74. AccordingtoCoachMcNamara,
in the first half, the Cavs had one of the
best winning streaks in M-AC's history,
but the streak turned around towands the
end. With a minute left in the game, the
Cavs made some fouls, which cost the
team the victory. Two of the top scorers
were Brad Gabriel, with 16 points, and
Aaixrn Gabriel with 14.
The most recent game that the
Cavs vied was away at Virginia Inter-
monL The Cavs lost by ascoreof97-82.
Virginia Intermont tied for first place in
the Conference last season. Although
the Cavs stayed close until the last two
minutes, in the last stretch of the game,
the team missed a crucial 3-point shot
The top scorers were senior Rodney
Scott, with 18 points, and Brad Gabriel
with 16.
The Cavs will contend against
Tusculum College on December 4 at
4pm The Men will also battle Milligan
College on December 9 at 8pm. Both of
these games will be at McAlister Gym
According to Coach McNamara,
the Cavs are looking forward to the
matches because they are both home
games. Coach McNamara was im
pressed by the turnout of people who
came out to support the team at the last
home game. He hopes that fans will
return to support die team for the home
games coming up.
