Lindsay Ranked 12th In League Men Golfers Win 5 Out Of 7 Matches Seemingly performing incognito, the seldom publicized Ripon Men's Golf Team enjoyed a great season of golf. Led by Coach Ralph Wickstrom, the Redmen won five of their seven matches. Sophomore Martin Lindsay consistently turned in the best score of the day. managing three individual titles: MS O.E.'s Dual. The Beloit Invitational, and the Lawrence Dual. Teammates Lund Cooley. Pat Ehren, Jim Esten. Mark Jonas. Joe Ott. and Bill Westen toon turns following up Lindsay's efforts. In home matches played at Lawsonia Links in Green Lake. Ripon upended the Milwaukee School of Engineer- ing and St. Norbert. At Northwestern, the Redmen for a second place finish to Beloit, but paid back the favor three days later, nipping Beloit on their home turf by one stroke Lawrence, unable to field a full team, was forced to forfeit in their dual with Ripon. In the eight-team Lakeland Tournament Ripon put together an impressive performance dapturmg first place by eight strokes. The Redmen proved to be a bit too congenial when they hosted the Midwest Conference Championships as they placed a disappointing fifth behind Knox. Illinois College. Lawrence, and Beloit.

Rookies Learn From Veterans Although the Ripon Women's Rugby club did not earn any wins, team members played hard, putting forth a strong effort. Because most of the lady ruggers had no prior experience. Coach Dave Plant had his work cut out for him. The rookies gained valuable hints from the die-hards: Ginger Costello. Deb Posnanski. Stacy Rossi, and Dorrie Smith. It was also difficult for Ripon to field a full team, because Rugby tends to have a high burn-out rate due to the nature of the game. By team vote, captain Ginger Costello was named the Player of the Year. Sophomore Dorrie Smith served as the club president, and Deb Posnanski was named treasurer. — Ginger Costello

David Gergen Speaks To Campus Says That Candidates Run On Their Experience External Affairs and SMAC featured a guest speaker. David Gergen, Monday. October 29. to help give students a clue as to what is presently going on in the world of politics. Mr. Gergen. a former presidential press advisor who has worked under the Nixon, Ford, and Reagan administrations and who is currently teaching at the American Enterprise Institute and Har- vard. focused his talk and discussion on the 1984 elec- tion and the role of the press in relation to this. Gergen pointed out that because Reagan is running as an incumbent, the race will mainly boil down to a public judgement of Reagan and the things he has done over the last four years. Gergen also predicted that Reagan will win the 1984 election with approxi- mately 65% of the public vote, and concluded that this will be due to skillful use of the press by the Reagan administration and the improved economy of the na- tion. In their successful use of the press. Gergen credited the Reagan staff with keeping the President from be- ing overexposed by having constant daily planning of their media exposure and releases, and exhibiting careful attention to detail and language. He also ad- ded that good press could not compensate for actions and thus claimed that per- formance of Reagan's poli- cies and his personality have been responsible for a lot of his popularity. However, on the other end of the ticket, Gergen felt that Mondale's press ad- visors have been extremely slow in planning an effective press strategy and stated that as the election nears, the margin of vote is in- creasing between the two candidates. He stated that Mondale was also hurt by the second debate, by the fact that the primaries forced him too far to the left, and by the insulation of his staff. In conclusion, Gergen looked ahead to Reagan's second term and said that Reagan's most difficult task wil be remaining effective without the possibility of run- ning for reelection again- what amounts to a lame duck presidency situation Following the presentation, which was not only Infor- mative. but also interesting and humorous, was a more informal question and answer session. Gergen's sub- ject provoked a number of good questions from both students and faculty The general response to the talk was very good One student felt that Gergen’s points about why you should vote, not for who were very important and felt that even though you knew where he stood, he presented the other side and feels that the election is not much of a race, but you never know.
