Bluefield barely defeated the Cavaliers in the last two minutes of the game, winning 91-88. The cranpeting teams were neck and neck throughout most of the game with M- AC maintaining a slight edge. Assistant Coach Roger Idstrom acknowledged, "It was a matter of us playing well for 38 out of 40 minutes, and Bluefield playing weU for 40. Then we had three or four crucial turnovers going to Bluefield." Leading scorers for the game were 6' Aron Gabriel with 17 points, 6'4" forward Jason Baker, who racked up 17 points, and 6’6" guard Brain Levering who set a school record with 15 re bounds.

This week the Blue and Yellow will be wrapping up the season clashing with CovenanttonightinMcAlister Gym at 8pm, and will be traveling to Warren Wilson on Monday, February 21 at 7:30pm. In reference to the upcoming game against Convenant, Head Coach Steve McNamara asserted, "The players will be morefocusednow.

The game will be broadcast on radiostation WZQR,alocalBlackMoun- tain country channel. Some students have reservations about the final games of the season.

The ladies traveUed to the Golden Dome Gymnasium, confidentto end their three game losing streak, after beating Bluefield at the beginning of the season, but could not puU out a victory. The ladies were up at the half by two, 42-40, but the gaihe continued to be close throughout the second half. With less than a minute to play, the Lady Cavs led by two points.

Coach Bostic called Campfest ’94 Today in Cafeteria By Jeff Lang Today at lunch, camps from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia will be taking student applications for summer positions. Both Christian and secular camps will be represented- totaling around twelve. Students interested need to be sure to apply during the noon hour, as the representatives will leave after lunch. According to Associate for Career Development Beth Wirtjes, the camps will be receiving applications for both summer and permanent positions and that "they will be interviewing in the private dining hall." ITie camps are not looking for students from any specific major for summer positions, but will be drawing from the Outdoor Recreation and Environmental Studies Departments for permanent positions. Wirtjes noted that the average pay for summer staff is around $ 100 per week, for about ten weeks with some increase for special skills such as lifeguarding. The camps here today will be recmiting for student employees and the career development staff expressed confidence about the job prospects and asserted that though this is the first Campfest, it wiU not be the last. Senior Traci Job commented on her summer working at the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly, located outside Black Mountain, "You meet a lot of interesting people and form lasting friendships.” a play that would have given the ladies a chance for the tie, but it couldn't be puUed out. Bostic explained that the girls played a "tough" game, but both sides had good offense. The Lady Cavs just didn't have the needed pressure on the ball, thus resulting in the high score of the game and poor defense. Senior Shon "Snippy" Snipes, commented that it was an "emotional game, and we played great, but not our best." The ladies leading scorers set per sonal bests against Bluefield. Fresh man player Kristy Woody led the Lady Cavs and set her career high with 28 points and 14 rebounds. Shelly Th ompson contributed 17 points and had 10 assists. Jennifer Watring had her best game of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Amy Baker also added to the team's effort with 12 points and four assists. Erin Broome came off the bench to add eight points. Tonight the L ady Cavs will con front Covenant College here in McAlister Gym. Bostic expressed that she is hoping for a large home crowd for their last home game, to send off the seniors and rally the supportneeded for a big win. The ladies wiU then travel to Toc- coa Falls, Georgia on Tuesday, Febru ary 26 to chaUenge Toccoa Falls for the final game of the season. The Lady Cavs are currently ranked number seven in the confer ence, tieing them with Clinch Valley. The next two games will be an uphill battle for the home team because they lost to number five ranked Covenant' earlier in the season. It is still unde cided whether the ladies have made it to the play-offs, but wirming the next two games will be a deciding factor. Scholars Seek to Expand Foreign Language Minor Spencer’s Cooking Up Improvement By Chad Smith Tire Food Committee met in open forum Wednesday, Febmary 9, in How- eirton Dining Hall to discuss ways in which the food in the cafeteria could be improved. Tire Food C"ommittee con sisted of cafeteria manager Jack Spen cer, administrators, arid concerned stu dents. Speracer conveyed that he plans to have a heidth bar for those health con scious stu dents. He further added that he plans to have as an alternative to the main entrees, a variety of steamed vegetables. Phins for adding a pasta bar, nacho bar, or potato bar will be combined with the sandwich, oriental food, and waffle bar. Spencer’s goal for this change is to replace the monotony of the meals by providing the students with variety. Sophomore Rob Lewis shared, "I think Jack works hard to keep us pleased, even though sometimes we're not." Sev eral students also praised Spencer for doing a wonderful job. To those students that have been complaining about the food, M-A Hall resident Joy Stumph replied, "Students need to understand that it's not going to be mother's home cooking at college. It's all part of the experience." A suggestion box wiU be placed in the cafeteria this week for those who have ideas for improving any aspect of the cafeteria. Chairman of the Food Committee' Janie King wUl also wel come any comments. By Joyce Downs Students wishing to minor in French questioned the administration, demanding explanation as to why the college is not dividing the Foreign lan guage minor into separate studies. Currently, the curriculum offers a minor in foreign language in which a com bination of 18 credit hours of both French and Spanish must be completed. Student Chad Smith expressed, "I have studied six years of french, and desire a mirwr in the subject because I love the language, and Fd hate to see my gift go to waste." English and French professor Dale Britton explained that due to insufficient demand, a minor in French is not pos sible at this time. Smith, however, has been working closely with Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Don King and Britton to expand the foreign language department Smith is currently in the process of arranging a semester long trip to France, in order to receive credit for a minor in French. He expressed, "I wish to go in depth into the language, culture and so ciety and possibly write my senior thesis somehow relating English with French Literature." Smith further added, "Since stu dents Marcy Bivins and Ginny Thomp son have also displayed an interest in minoring in French, I believe there are enough students interested for the col lege to provide this well needed minor."
