Below the elbows of Crissman and beyond the tempers and trials of Christian athletes, there exists the epitome of rugged warfare and tense competition in the participation of intramural basketball. Every now and then, once or twice a week, a multitude of basket- ball rejects, flunkies, has-beens and super- stars dropped their books and bounced over to the floors of the gym, in an effort to exert themselves so they could sleep well later that night. The Juniors appeared the top prospect in the first round, shooting down Freshman and Sophomore teams and barely losing to the invitational faculty team. But confronted by Paul Crissman and company, the Juniors were forced to relinquish the limelight to a crew of senior stars. With the advent of the second round, a surplus of Frosh ability was unwillingly and unwittingly elevated from a first team JV ' s to intramurals. An undefined and tenacious Sophomore team, lacking depth, and height, displayed a tremendous show of hustle, seriously challenging every opponent. As the faculty, staff and friends team belonged to a different league, the final standings seemed dependent upon a final playoff between the old old seniors and the more popular junior team team. As the final buzzer of the last game rang, both participants and spectators had enjoyed the opportunity to forget academics and find release from frustration. 85

In a year of conflict on campuses across our nation, we are forced to examine again why our student govern- ment exists. Are we to lead revolts and strikes? When change is needed, are we and do we have the right to demand it? Realizing the need for some change, we must not simply remain apathetic to the problems of our campus and world. Our methods may not be those of other agitators but we certainly must communicate to our administra- tion some of the changes that seem necessary on our campus. This year many goals have been accomplished. We can see change for the better in many areas of our campus life. We hope that the year 1968-1969 will be remembered as the beginning of a new outlook for our campus. Not an outlook opposed to all the vital values of our heritage but rather one that in- cludes these and also relates and in- volves our lives in our contemporary world.
