We urge the student body to forget subordinate constitutions and systems for tfie moment and to attack the beginning of the problem, a redefinition of the total stu- dent government. An agreement on our basic responsibilities will come much more easily than agree- ment on formal details. Once we have a basic agreement, we can then turn to the details with far greater hope of success. With hard and purposeful work, the whole job can be done well In the remainder of the semester. Today is not too soon to start. ATHLETES ' OFF-FIELD HABITS SHOW AHITUDE: Immediately following the close of a seasonal sport it is traditional to analyze and review the past and to speculate on the possibilities of the future, if there is a future. The Tritons finished a dismal basketball season with a 5—1 1 record. This record itself does not reveal the reasons for the team ' s failure nor does it indicate their true ability. ... It is true that the Tritons had to contend with many conditions that are not encountered elsewhere. We hove no gymnasium, we hove terrific academic pressures that take priority over everything else, we have also had bad luck with injuries. But, the person who used these circumstances as excuses is looking at a situ- ation and seeing only the surface of it. To be an athlete, or to participate in any sport, a person must have a love for the game, the desire to play. An athlete must also be willing to sacrifice. . . . Irregular hours, Saturday night beers, cigarettes, all of these reveal one thing: poor atti- tude, the attitude that had been exemplified at FPC. Preparation for competition involves not only body conditioning but total mental attitude. The Tritons were never mentally prepared for o basketball gome. When players ask to see their points scored while the coach is outlining strategy, they exhibit a gross lack of interest in the game. Argument by a player after the game OTi whether he scored three points or five points is not always wrong but, when your team lost by 35 points, then it is a safe bet that such a player does not belong on the court. The attitude shown by the Tritons off the court was the same as their attitude during the games. The slipshod play of the Tritons revealed their flagrant disregard of training procedures. No matter how much the players insist that training rules don ' t make that much difference in their performance, a tenth of a second in reflex action is still the difference between good and bod play, and smoking and drinking do slow down reflexes. The disgrace does not lie in losing a ball game, but it lies in not putting forth extra effort, in not trying to play at your peak. Some colleges hong the coaches in effigy after a losing season. I say, If the shoe fits, wear it. The shoe I refer to fits any one of a dozen feet, none of which are Coach Wireman ' s. The fighting and squabbling over the court system dragged on despite the unveiled hands of our mentors. After two weeks of Sunday afternoon meetings, some agreement emerged. The whole problem had been brought up anew by efforts of the Student Coun- cil to rewrite the old constitutions into a single document. Easter vocation broke off the discussion. By the time the revised documerrt was ready, it was mid-May. In the midst of examination preparations, we took time to approve the new constitution. 15
