Free Tickets The World Series Invades Cav Baseball
Denied
By Jeffrey Reardon
The furor over whether stu
dents would be given free tick
ets to the North Carolina Shakes
peare Festival's production of
Much Ado About Nothing fi
nally made its way before the
Student Government Legislative
this past Tuesday.
Wrapped in controversy,
the issue has been upgraded from
whispered gripes to a petition
bearing eighty seven student sig
natures.
Action began last week
when select students learned that
Student Activities had not pur
chased or planned to purchase tick
ets for the students as has been then
tradition for the last three years.
Former Junior Class President
Jamie King fashioned a petition that
she circulated accruing written con
cern from 29% of the student popu
lation.
King stated, "if the 'powers
that be' can't see the significance of
this survey or the importance of
these tickets, then they aren't repre
senting the students properly."
Jurisdiction is the problem that
remains. Because Student Activi
ties is a function of Student Gov
ernment via Student Activities
Chair Jennifer Stinnett, SGA should
have the power to require the tick
ets to be purchased.
However, Student Activi
ties is also a function of the ad
ministration with Cary Willcox
at the helm.
SGA President Mark
Wright commented, "This (pur
chasing of tickets) is definitely
a student demand. ...it is some
thing that we must take action

The Cavalier World Series
is a best out of five innersquad
match-up that brings the fall
baseball season to a close. The
difference between these games
and all the others on the sched
ule is that the coaches play no
role in the outcomes of these
games. The teams are chosen
and coached by the players.
On Sunday of this week the
captains had the draft. The sides
were chosen and the players
were split up. There are 36 play
ers which puts 18 on a side.
These two teams are led by their
respective captains: Shawn
Wills and Chris Hoyle head up
the M-AC Mashers while Shane
Hatcher and Chris Robertson
on."
An open-minded Jennifer
Stinnett expressed the attitude
of Student Activities, "If free
tickets is what the students want,
then that is what we will give to
them."
Stinnett went on to say that
if an opinion concerning this
matter is to be heard, it must be
voiced at the next Student Ac
tivities Committee meeting
scheduled for 3 p.m. on Wednes
day, October 26.
Student opinions range
from outrage to unconcern.
Anu-Riikka Henriksson,
Montreat thespian, responded,
"I got sucked into drama be
cause of the Shakespeare Festi
val. If my first ticket hadn't
been free, I never would have
gone."
Conversely, Junior Matt
Horner laughed, "I'm not inter
ested in this Shakespeare stuff."
Foul Smell Permeates Campus
By J. R. Cunningham
Many students have recog
nized the awful stench of skunk
spray in the air this Fall. True, the
odor did invade much of the dormi
tory and campus areas last year, but
it seems as if the unmistakable smell
of skunk spray is more apparent this
year than ever before.
There have been numerous
complaints from students of skunks
invading the premises of Davis
Dorm, around the Biology Build
ing, and even on Montreat Road.
Remains of a skunk that some
one pulverized into the asphalt just
past Montreat Gate lingered for
weeks after the incident. Many stu
dents said that the driver who splat
tered the skunk brought the smell
back to campus with him causing
nausea and paranoia.
Biology professor Brad
Daniels gave insight on the skunk
problem and what exactly we can
do to prevent it.
"I've seen some [skunks] over
at the Biology building and the main
reason is because of the lack of
attention the garbage people have
shown to it."
Daniels stated that the sanita
tion crew didn't pick up the trash on
some days and the skunks came out
to dig around for some food.
Daniels suggested a logical
solution to the problem, "No food or
food related items should be openly
dumped around campus. Skunks
have a keen sense of smell and can
detect any item that they could eat."
Freshman Davis Dorm Resi
dent Josh Cunningham stated, "I
don't even like Pepe LePeu any
more."
Some more serious students
such as Tyrone Jones said that he
won't even cpme near Davis Dorm
at night because of fear he might be
sprayed.
Some other students are sim
ply perturbed about this matter.
Harvey Lingeifelt stated, "I don't
like it—it stinks."
lead the M-AC Strokers.
Wills, the Cavs senior
catcher, expressed, "It's going
to be real intense but it's going
to be fun too, as we end up our
fall season."
Hatcher, the pitching ace for
the Cavs commented, "The Se
ries gives everybody a chance to
play and it helps build team lead
ership."
Wills added, "It also gives
the freshman time to show the
coaches what they can do. It's
the last time the coaches can see
us play until the spring season."
When asked about his teams
chances. Wills boasted, "My
team's gonna win."
Hatcher then responded,
"Actions speak louder than
words."
The catch of the whole
World Series is that the losing
team must take the winners out
to eat, and none of the players
want to dish out any money out
to see their teammates enjoy a
good meal.
The weather over the next
few days is not looking good for
baseball. Rain is in the forecast
for this week which may put the
World Series on the back burner.
Junior, Bud Roberts commented,
"Sometimes you win, sometimes
you lose and sometimes you get
rained out."
The captains are happy
about their fall season and are
looking forward to spring.
The Cavalier baseball team
will be fighting for the confer
ence title come this spring.
They are deep at every po
sition and they should have
enough talent and experience to
really make a mark in the Ten
nessee Valley Athletic Confer
ence.

Hu Brother Fulfills Acting Dream
By Aron Gabriel
The Hu brothers, William and
David, work in the cafeteria, serv
ing the students of M-AC.
The brothers came to M-AC
via Peking, China in 1986. Their
parents had acquaintances that were
friends with the M-AC President
Vaughn. Through this connection,
the Hu brothers made their way to
campus.
They were two weeks late for
classes, so they decided to go to
Maryville College. They studied
English for 10 weeks and then re
turned in the spring of 1987. They
graduated in 1990, with David earn
ing a degree in business administra
tion, and William receiving a de
gree in English communications.
William has recently fulfilled
his life-long dream of acting as he
participated in a Walt Disney film.
Heavy Weights. The movie was
filmed in Hendersonville, and Wil
liam informed that they movie is
about "fat boys".
William played one of the
Henchman. He will be very recog
nizable in the movie.
Heavy Weights is produced by
the same man who produced the hit
movies Mighty Ducks and Mighty
Ducks II. The movie should hit the
theaters this month.
William asserted, "WithoutM-
AC, I don't know where my brother
and I would be. This place has been
very good to us."
