Shooting the Rapids I thought you said that we weren't going to get wet in the race, protested an irate rafter. Many students echoed similar sentiments as they rafted down the Hiwassee River during Hotaract's raft race. Approximately 100 students participated in the annual event. Equipped with life jackets and only two paddles for each five-member team all 20 teams stayed close together for the first half hour, but soon they began to string out. Those teams that could paddle harder or knew the river better soon pulled far ahead. Finally, it narrowed down to three rafts, the Surge ll, sponsored by Upsilon Xi: the H.E.O. Speedway, manned by Viking bas- ketball playersg and the Maybe Next Time, filled with optimistic nature lovers. Surge ll opened up a commanding lead, while the other two teams battled for sec- ond place. The Maybe Next Time slipped into second place by taking a svvifter por- tion ofthe river. Even with three paddles, which later disqualified them, the H.E.O. Speedway had to settle for third place. Meanwhile, members of the Maybe Next Time team, mistakenly believing that they were in first place, raced for the finish line, only to find the members of Surge ll reclining on the bank. They had finished seven minutes earlier and completed the race in only 93 minutes. Members of Upsilon's Surge ll team consisted of Hobin Rice, Bill Rutledge, Steve Sharpe, Elaine Thompson, and Claudia Waites. Each of the members received a trophy the following morning in chapel. -Bruce Garner TOP LEFT: Maneuvering time arrives for this team as they reach the beginning of the rapids.
