THE ANCHOR SITUATION The Anchor's Position

by Gary Mcshane

During the last two years, the Anchor has constantly plead­ed for responsible students to lighten the load of publishing a weekly newspaper.

Each year the number of stu­dents expressing an interest in joining the staff has decreased. This year is no exception. In fact it is the worst yet.

As of last week, three editori­al board positions were unfilled and there were only nine staff members for the six permanent staffs of the newspaper.

The result was obvious. A small group of dedicated people were putting out the paper each week - the editors. Since all efforts to gain a larger staff had failed and further since what was sup­posed to be extra-curricular ac­tivity had become a full time job, the editors felt that they could no longer put in the long hours required to publish the paper without compensation.

Anyone working lower priced tickets. For fu~th­er information call the state council 781-4650.

Deadline for ticket endowment reservations, December 1st.

The argument, it was felt, for compensation was a strong one. First, the monetary compensation would replace salaries gained in part-time outside work, thus per­mitting the editors to spend more time on the paper.

Salaries would also help to add a certain prestige to an editorial position and encourage more stu­dents to join the staff in the; hopes that some day they might hold such a position. In other words, it would serve as an in­centive for joining the staff.

For these reasons, the Business Manager of the Anchor, William Bunch, went before the Student Senate Finance Comm_ittee to ask for permission to take salaries from the advertising revenue, mo­ney which is gained by printing advertisements and not part of the Senate allocated funds.

This advertising revenue did, however, supplement the Senate allocation and faced with the possible request for more money by the end of next semester they froze all Anchor funds as of No­vember 19 citing that no funds were available for further allo­cation, as the reason.

As of this date, the Anchor funds have been unfrozen be­cause of an agreement between Senate and the Anchor editorial board. This pact emphasizes an effort on the part of both orga­nizations to gain a larger staff for the paper and thereby elimi­nate the need for paid editors.

This co-operative effort is sat­isfactory to the Anchor as it achieved the same purpose as a monetary compensation would have. Someone finally has ex­pressed an interest in the Anchor and that's all that was ever asked. The editors have expressed hope that the efforts of both organizations will be successful.

Dress Code Abolished

by Kris Hevenor

In accordance with the motion

passed last year by the Student

Senate the Library dress code

has been abolished.

It was formerly the policy of

the Library that girls not be al­

lowed to wear slacks while work­

ing at the desk.

The Library is the last work

area on the campus to abolish

the dress requirements.

EDITOR

RESIGNS Last week Tony Milano re­

signed his position as editor-in­chief of the Anchor. Personal obligations and a general frus­tration over the plight of the Anchor were given as reasons.

The following letter was re­ceived by the editorial board on November 18: Editors:

Because working for the Anchor has left me no time to do things I must do;

because working for the Anchor has left me no time to do things I want to do;

because I have received from the Anchor staff no significant amount of cooperation;

because editors of the Anchor are editors in name only, and in no manner worthy of the title;

because there is an aura of petty vested interests which governs the actions of editors and staffers alike;

because I do not believe that students care whether or not the Anchor fulfills its responsibility;

because I do not believe that paying the editors is a pana­cea; it would simply make edi­tors feel more obligated to do more work;

because I do not believe that a moratorium on publication will cause any improvement in

the Anchor. because I believe that publish­

ing a newspaper under the pres­ent circumstances is the business of fools;

because martyrs are fools; I, Anthony Milano, resign my

position as Editor-in-Chief of the Anchor. The resignation is effectiVQ today, November 18, 1969.

I wish all of you the best of luck, and will attempt to make myself available from time to time to lend assistance to your reporters and writers. I will al­so attempt to continue to write for the Anchor, though not on a regular assignment basis.

Sincerely, ANTHONY A. MILANO

(Editor's Note) Mr. Milano has accepted the position of as­sociate editor.

The Editorial Board, at a subsequent meeting, has elected Gary McShane editor and filled the previously vacant positions of Managing Editor and Circula­tion Manager with Ray Boyer and Dana Rockwell respectively. The position of Editorial Board Secretary, vacant since last year, has also been filled by Jeanne Eggleston.

The Other Side The Anchor has come before

the Student Senate to request that they be allowed to use revenue to be used in the form of salaries for its editors. In ef­fect, this would mean that the Anchor would run $3,400 under its expected budget for printing costs and would have to come to Senate for more money in the near future. The Anchor also has said that without this grant, the Anchor staff would walk out.

The cold fact is that the Student Senate simply does not have enough money in its budget to grant such a request. The Sen­ate feels that if this were grant­ed, other organizations would come before it and require pay­ment for their staffs. We decided against granting the money until such time as the COMMITTEE ON CLASS AND ORGANIZA­TION AL AFFAIRS has come up with a more equitable plan.

The college community would, because of this action, risk a walk out of Anchor members. Because of the possibility that other 'students, with no idea of how a newspaper works, could walk in and continue the An­chor in a very substandard and inadequate way and waste much of the student body's money, the Student Senate was forced into passing the following:

All of the funds of the Rhode Island College Anchor have been frozen so that no bills incurred atfer November 19, 1969, will be paid until such time as the COMMITTEE, ON CLASS AND ORGANIZATIONAL AFFAIRS can study the problem and rec­ommend solutions.

On Thursday and Friday, No­vember 20 and 21, President Eli Perlman met with individuals on

English Comm.

Solicits Aid The following people have

been appointed to the Committee of English Majors: Nancy Ce­rep; Diane De Santis, Edwin El­derkin, Susan Fowler, Mrs. Mary E. Belk Gray, Mrs. Leslie Cam­eron Keley, Robin Leveillee, Wil­liam Swigart, and Russell Watts. The Committee will be function­ing as a student advisory group to the English Department.

The first and present busi­ness of the Committee is making recommendations for curriculum revision. To this end, the pres­ent listing of English courses is being reviewed to determine which courses might be dropped, revised, or added. The Commit-

( Continued on Page 3)

the Editorial Board of the An­chor and other concerned stu­dents. Anthony Milano, past Ed­itor-in-Chief of the Anchor pointed out that it would be eas­ier to find out what the problems of the Anchor are while it is in operation. This became the major argument against the freezing of funds.

Another problem still existed, however. The problem is the or­iginal one. The editors agreed with President Perlman that they would not resign for monetary reasons if they could have a large enough staff that they would not have to do all the work.

At this time, an Executive Board meeting of Senate was called and the following was de­cided: The Anchor funds would temporarily be unfrozen until such time as the COMMITTEE ON CLASS AND ORGANIZA­TIONAL AFFAIRS can give a report. If, at that time, the com­mittee can give a favorable re­port to Senate, the Anchor prob­lem will be solved. If this is not the case, however, the funds will have to be refrozen until the committee can reorganize the Anchor. A deadline of Winter Va­cation has been placed on the committee so that the student body can be assured of an im­provement in the Anchor by sec­ond semester.

Couch Charred In

Early Morning

Weber Fire At 3:40 a. m. this past Mon­

day morning, the semi-working alarm system went to work in Weber Hall. Some two-thirds of the large sofa was charred when it was carried from the main lounge of the hall. A dropped cigarette is the suspected cause of the fire, which filled the launge and many of the suites with foul smelling smoke.

The fire alarm system did not function in all suites, and only quick action and quick thinking by the Resident assistants and some of the residents assured that everyone was cleared of the building. This time there was enough time, and the nature of the fire was not overly seri­ous; but what if the fire had been a quick-moving high-inten­sity fire? Where would we find the people in those suites with non-functioning alarms.

Sophomore Tom O'Donald put an extinguisher to the fire prior to the arrival of the Fire De­partment forces.

PAY IS NOT' THE ISSUE! The impression given by rumors

which have been making the rounds concerning the status of the Anchor may be misleading.

A campus newspaper has a responsi­bility to students. This nevvspaper boasts "free access to ideas and full freedom of expression," and also that it is the "stu­dent voice."

ing them, thus permitting them to spend more time working on the paper, and therefore, more time to allow the paper to take a stand on the national, local, and campus issues.

Many students have noted that the Anchor doesn't get at the issues oE the day, that it has become merely a reporter of social trivia. Agreed, to a certain ex­tent. The reasons have been explained in the past. It takes time to delve into areas of controversy. With no significant staff, the editors, because of outside com­mitments (such as jobs), don't have the time themselves.

Senate has suggested a co-operative effort to obtain a larger staff since it doesn't have the money to pay the editors. This, if successful, is entirely satisfactory. For the issue is not pay, but improving the quality of the Anchor.

The editors are not greedy. They are trying to be practical. No hope was felt that any effort to gain more staff mem­bers would be successful. To eliminate outside jobs and do the work themselves for the betterment of the paper seemed to be the only answer.

Since all efforts to gain a larger staff had failed up to last week, only one alter­native seemed open. Eliminate any out­side commitments o~ the editors by pay-

Senate feels that it can get people interested. The editorial board is willing to let them try and will do its part. We are asking for help to make the Anchor the best. It is now up to you, the con­cerned students, to answer this plea.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor:

The Senate Elections Commit­tee would like to apologize for the fact that the election re­sults of the Senate-vice-presiden­tial elections held on W ednes­day, November 12, had to be declared invalid. Senate pointed out many unfair practices which must be corrected before anoth­er election can be held.

Problems in Wednesday's elec­tion included:

1. The use of paper ballots in­stead of IBM ballots. The committee was unaware that last year Senate pass­ed a ruling that all ballot­ting must be done with IBM machines.

2. The election table was left uncovered for an undeter­mined amount of time.

3. Not all I.D.'s were checked. ed.

4. Neither the candidates nor the Elections Committee did much publicizing be­fore the election.

5. The election should have been held on Thursday, the day after it actually was held.

6. Not all names of voters were checked off the col­lege list. Some students could have voted more than once.

Obviously, the election was

sloppy and the results may have been unfair to the candidates and to the student body. These problems will be dealt with and ,solved soon, so that another election can be held. Hopefully, the Wednesday election will be the only election invalidated this year.

Sincerely, Senate Elections Committee

Dear Editor: The Student Senate, at its

last meeting, passed a motion telling the Board of Governors' Calendar Committee to give first choice for dance dates to classes and second choice to I. F. C. With this plan, the Calendar Committee would be hindered in that group not classified as a class or an I. F. C. member would have no opportunity to choose a dance date. Also, since the Board of Governors is pre­sently in the process of reorga­nization and is assessing a more equitable system for dance dates I do note feel it is the correct time for Senate to pass such a motion.

Therefore, I, as President of Student Senate, hereby veto the motion in question.

Sincerely yours, Eli Perlman President, Student Senate

Dear Editor: Does anyone know if the class

of 1970 exists? I honestly doubt its existence. I realize that about half of the members of the class are off-campus now, but I see no reason why the on­campus half of the class should cease to function.

Since the beginning of the year, I have seen three news let­ters from the class. The first announced the appointment of our class advisor and briefly outlined plans for Senior Week. The second was a ballot for can­didates to Who's Who. The third was a ballot listing possi­ble speakers for graduation.

The Senior Class did have a candidate for Homecoming. It did not have a float. I person­ally wrote our class president a note via Student Mail telling him I had an idea for the float. I did this at the beginning of the semester, so that I could be contacted when the Float Com­mittee was formed. (Or was there no float because there was no committee?)

The Senior Class has been without one Senate representa­tive since October 1. I know our class advisor is aware of this and I imagine he has told our class president. But I have no way of knowing that the class president is doing anything about this.

If the Class of 1967 is a func­tioning body, I and other seniors would like to know just how it is functioning.

Sincerely, Janet K. Schora

Dear Editor:

In reply to Senator-at-Large Bob Colassanto's recent letter, we would like to clarify our plans and reasons for compiling a student directory_

1. We took over the task of compiling the Directory when another student organizition dropped plans for making one. We received permission from Dean Mulqueen.

2. Our intent is not to sub­ject RIC students to an on­slaught of junk mail, but to provide what we fell is a much­needed source of student infor­mation. Anyone who wishes not

SERENDIPITY BY SUSAN J. FOWLER

The Warwick Gallery on 422 Warwick Avenue is mainly a commercial gallery specializing in European painters. Much of the work is what I call "sale­able" work, meaning one flower on a white background or a bull­fighter pasted on an orange void. Some of the work is original and exciting though, and because of the variety of techniques and the diversity of period of art works, I feel that it would be valuable to visit the gallery.

The director, Dr. Saharuni, is a linguist and historian who studied at the University of Moscow and received his Ph.D. from Erevan. Between the years of 1936 and 1939, Dr. Saharuni was in a Stalinist concentration camp. For eleven years he ran an art gallery in Heidleberg, Germany, and has spent some time in Paris and Canada. Once you get used to his heavily ac­cented English, you will find Dr. Saharuni a very interesting man. He himself does not paint, but knows a lot about art and its history and is more than willing to discuss it. He feels that his gallery would offer excellent op­portunities to art classes from schools because of the variety; but is under the impression that American art instructors are afraid to go with their students to a gallery because they them­selves would not recognize a truly great piece of art. I dis-

REACTION

agree; does anyone want to take up the challenge?

Among the work which im­pressed me greatly is that of Leslie Smith of Quebec. His pieces range from watercolors to oils and from realism to ab­stract and show great original­ity. According to the director, Mr. Smith does not really desire to sell his work; he is an artist who paints for himself. The emo­tion he puts into his work tends to bear out this theory.

If you are interested in im­pressionism, there is a display of neo-impressionist work by Valls Arrny. His work must be vieewd from a distance in order for it to make sense. Close to it seems to be merely stripes of intense color laid side by side with no apparent order in mind. Each of the pieces has its history or the history of the artist printed on a placard next to the painting so that the viewer can see the relationship between the life and the work if he so desires.

The gallery is definitely geared to a customer type situation rather than a viewer; but Dr. Saharuni welcomes browsers and it would be worth the trip.

P.S. If anyone finds a man's class ring, 1966, Cranston High School East, gold with a green stone, and with "joe C" engraved inside, please return it to me through the Admissions Office or The Anchor, or call 942-1496 after 6 p.m. It has sentimental value.

The All-Nighter The B.O.G. all-nighter was an

entirely uniquf" experience for this year's frosh. Of course, for the upperclassmen it was old hat. From the looks of content­ment and the talk it seems that most people had a good time.

Fun and games prevailed from 10:00 Friday night until Satur­day morning. Entertainment was never at a standstill. The R.A.W., an extremely powerful group, blasted rock in Donovan from 12 midnight 'til 2 :30 a.m. Before that there was a light show, cof­fee and donuts in the dining cen­ter - oh, yes and feats of presti­digitation by the wonderful prestidigitator Ken Diman. La­ter, at the Student Union, car­toons and the Little 'Rascals made their appearance for nine millionth time, while many sat around, played cards, talked, played ping pong, pool, or viewed a particularly pointed comedy, "The Wrong Box" starring Pe­ter Sellers, Peter Cook, and Dudley Moore, in the SU Ball­room.

At 2:30 the all-nighter fea­tured a trivia contest, in which

prizes were awarded. A com­plaint was circulated through the onlookers that two persons won about 4 or 5 prizes each. It was felt that these trivia whizzes should have been al­lowed one prize apiece, so that other people could have an op­portunity to participate.

Also during the night were such other forms of entertain­ment as folk singing and a folk sing-along, a jug band, and a penny social.

From 3:30 to 4:30 a buffet consisting of sandwiches, coffee and soda was served, and at 4:30 a Roman Polanski movie, "The Fearless Vampire Killers" was shown in the ballroom. From 6:00 to 8:30 was the Dawn Dance, featuring the Northeast Expressway, and although eve­ryone was just about falling asleep, it was a great way to end the night. For those who made it through the eleven hours, a Sur­vivors' Breakfast was served in Donovan until 9:00, at which time everyone went home with memories of a night well spent.

Second at Major

Tournament On November 14 and 15, the

members of the Rhode Island College Novice Debate Team participated in the 1969 South­ern Hospitality Forsenic Tourna­ment. Other colleges which at­tended the tournament, which was held at the Southern Con­necticut State College in New Haven, Conn., included Boston University, Brown University, the University of Massachusetts, Middlebury College, and the Uni­versity of Rhode Island.

The topic debated was the an­nual college topic: RESOLVED: THAT THE FEDERAL GOV­ERNMENT SHOULD GRANT ANNUALLY A SPECIFIC PER­CENTAGE OF ITS INCOME TAX REVENUES TO THE STATE GOVERNMENTS.

The affirmative team, com­posed of Nicholas Hunt, first af­firmative, and Manuel Anas, sec­ond affirmative were victorious in three of their six debates. They defeated Fordham Univer­sity, East Stroudsburg State College of Pennsylvania, and Ohio Northern University. Among the twenty-one affirma­tive teams which participated, the Rhode Island College team tied for second place, with a 3-3 record.

The members of the negative team, Kenneth Hokenson, first negative, and Linda Lafrenaye, second negative, were successful in five of their six debates. They defeated teams representing the University of Massachusetts, the University of Delaware, and East Stroudsburg State College. Among the twenty-one negative teams which participated, they also tied for second place, with a 5-1 win-loss record, with Brown University, the University of Delaware, the University of Massachusetts, and the Merchant Marine Academy.

In the entire tournament, in which 21 colleges were represent­ed, the Rhode Island College team as a whole tied with Brown University and St. John's Uni­versity, Jamaica, New York, for second place, with 8 wins out of 12 debates.

Senate Report BY CAROL LYDICK

Dean McCool announced that the College Council made a pro­posal to look into the feasibility of charging fees for· parking on campus. This action would be taken in order to raise money for parking facilities because the state will no longer allot money to RIC for this purpose. If fees were to be initiated they would be on an annual basis - one fee for the school year.

An appeal for a bus to go to Washington was made by some RIC students to the Senate. A motion was passed that Senate grant $250 to Senator Pete Scla­fani, chairman of the Senate Bus Committee, which would lower the price for each individual stu­dent who wanted to go.

The election for Vice President of the Senate was held on No-

Senate Names Committ'e-es

The Student Senate has set up a new and better organized system of reviewing the prob­lems at Rhode Island College. The way we are doing this is by doing away with the infinite number of Senate committees and reducing them to four. These four are Student Senate Commit­tee on the Physical Plant, Com­mittee on Class and Organiza­tional Affairs, Committee on Conditions and Services, and the Committee on S1lecial Considera­tions. Every committee has dif­ferent Student Senators from different constituencies on them.

The following people are on the committees: Class and Organizational Affairs: Senator Brian Cartier - Soph­

omore Senator (to be elected) - Senior Senator Gail Peltier - Browne

vember 12 with Louise Fillion and David Blodgett as candi­dates. But due to the fact that the senator who was in charge of the elections did not cross off the names of the people as they voted, the number of votes cast did not correspond to the num­ber of names of people who vot­ed, so the election will be re­scheduled.

A special report was submitted by Senators Colasanto, Mulcahy, and Orlando concerning the con­dition of the various committees. These Sena tors proposed that the committees be consolidated into the following four committees in order to eliminate the ad hoc committees:

1.) Senate Committee on Class and Organizational Affairs, which would have four Senators ap­pointed by the President, would concern itself with the four class­es and the problems of the fra­ternities and sororities which cannot be resolved by the IFC.

2.) The Committee on Condi­tions and Services, which would deal with janitorial and food services, etc., would also consist of four Senators appointed by the President.

3.) The Committee on the Physical Plant, which would be concerned with parking, hazards in the buildings on campus and similar problems, would have three Senators appointed by the President.

4.) The Committee on Special Considerations would deal with the problems of Senate and have four Senators appointed by the President. It was suggested that this commitee have two subcom­mittees: Subc•ommittee on Fac­ulty Evaluation and Subcommit­tee on the Bookstore.

A set of rules and regulations was also proposed.

The Biology Club presented its budget requesting $120 for three speakers, $30 each plus $30 for their meals. A motion to this ef­fect was passed.

Joe Sclama spoke about the budget of the Class of '71 and made an appeal to the Senate for funds. A motion was made that the class be allocated $1000, half of which would be paid back by May 31, 1970. This motion was amended to read that the class be allocated $2000, $500 of which would be pa:id back by May 31, 1970. This amendment was defeated 7 to 4. The motion was amended again to read that the class be allocated $1000, none of which would be paid back. This amendment was passed.

The financial report of The Anchor was submitted and its present situation described by Bill Bunch. He said that the edi­tors would like to be paid, as the brunt of the responsibility of putting out the paper is left to them and they put more time into it than they can afford and still fulfill their responsibilities as stuednts. A motion was passed that the Anchor funds be frozen until such time as the Committee on Class and Organizational Af­fairs can investigate the situa­tion and make recommendations to Senate. The reason for this measure is to insure that unre­sponsible people won't take over the paper or until a group of students can be found who are really concerned about The An­chor and willing to be active members of the staff to relieve the editors of some of the load.

Hoopsters Take Two Scrimmages; Prepared For Lowell

Over the past week the Rhody hoopsters have taken to task two larger schools in basketball scrimmages. Against Brandeis, Coach Bill Baird's charges went all out and out distanced Brand­eis by some twenty points. The interesting point, and a most en­couraging one at that was the fact that Baird gave his reser­ves ample playing time, and was still able to direct a potent at­tack. All the starters again went out and did their thing much to the dismay of the Brandeis players. Wilson and Huelbig worked well in the back court and again the front line of Cree­don, Suggs, and Jordan, were tough off the boards.

a guiet confidence as he worked well at both ends of the court.

Against Northeastern this past Friday night, the Anchormen were faced with a tough, agres­sive, physical ball club which they tripped up at the end of re­gulation time by a 98-95 mar­gin. The starters in this case totaled about three quarters of the playing time in the first two periods. Coach Baird was most­impressed with Jerry Suggs play. Up to this point in the season Jerry has been working as a hub for the offence and has hardly been shooting at all. Coach Baird spoke with Jerry and told him he wanted the big man to go to

the basket more. Jerry respond­ed with a twenty point perfor­mance, which put more pressure on the defence, for the defender covering Jerry was not able to drop off and help out with Wil­son or Huelbig.

Coach Baird was happy with the overall performance and mentioned Jacobson as the most impressive of the reserves Fri­day night.

In looking forward to the sea­son opener against Lowell State, Baird forsees a height advan­tage against Lowell but, feels the teams will be equally matched height wise on Friday night in the game with Quinipiac.

Of the reserves the most im­pressive against Brandeis was Junior Jim Sala, who showed a great deal of desire and hustle under the boards. Jim also put in a couple of pretty shots.

Jacobson, Porter, and Meeks were quite impressive among the freshman. Jake was able to use his height and strength to let the other people on the court know he was around. Bill Porter play­ed a heads-up, solid game and showed a good deal of agressive­ness. Ron Meeks who had ap­peared a bit tight the first time out showed that he had adopted to the style of play and displayed

With the onset of each new season, there is among the ath­letes a great deal of enthusiasm, the which, in some cases is more idealism than anything else. Well, Here We Go Again.

There exists only one factor which must be remidied to make complete the seasons of both these teams. People!!!

Willard Speaks At Fall Sports Dinner

Dr. Williard, vice president for academic affairs represented the faculty and administration at the fall sports dinner, held this past Thursday evening, at Ye Olde Oyster Cabin, in Uxbridge, Mass.

Dr. Willard spoke as the open­ing speaker and wished his con­gratulations to the soccer and cross country teams, and then he lowered the tone of his speach, and also expressed, on behalf of the administration and especial­ly Dr. Kauffman, thanks for the time and effort devoted by these athletes. He did so saying, "I only wish there was more that we, the members of the adminis­tration and the college commun­ity in general, could do for you. You devote so much of your time and energy to bring honor to the

school, and our athletic teams do so much to bring honor to Rhode Island College, I wish there was some better way to thank you."

Perhaps the sincerity with which those very words were spoken was the beginning of that extra thanks.

The highlights of the evening were the awarding of the letter sweaters to those men who had qualified for one.

Lionel Jean was awarded the captain's trophy for soccer and Freshman Tommy Kenwood was awarded the same trophey in cross country.

Junior Brain Samson and Lionell Jean were named as co­captains for next years soccer squad.

and Sidelights houses.

The crowd factor can be of vital importance to a team to get them charged up when they be­gin to falter. HIS would like to see full houses for both home openers next week, for the Hoop­sters on Tuesday and the Grap­plers on Wednesday.

There is not an excuse for not attending these events, because one doesn't have to stand around waiting to see five minutes of a cross country race after having shivered for twenty. And you don't have to sit, stand and/or jump around in the chill fall winds that sweep up the campus to the soccer field. No, - all you have to do is walk yourself into a nice heated gymnasium, with nice warm lights, and if you look real close you might even find some nice warm smiles. And if that's not asking to much, if you should happen to decide to join a cheer or just yell a little bit all by yourself, HIS will give you a money back guarantee that you will feel a lot warmer inside.

If you think of all the time and effort these men will, and have put in for you, then you should hang your head in shame as you walk past the gym on game night if you don't go in. To look up to the stands and see a sea of faces rather than a half empty bleacher is more encour­aging to a player than one who hasn't been there can really know.

Not Everyone can be a var­sity athlete, but everyone can be a varsity fan.
