STAFF EDITORIAL As of September 17th, there were 143 McPherson College Students on Facebook. That’s 143 people joining a site they didn’t even have access to one week ago. If you are one of those lucky (or cursed) enough to have joined http://www.facebook.com, you understand its nuances. More spe- cifi cally, you probably understand how easy it is to keep in touch with other friends that you haven’t seen or talked to since high school or earlier. You probably know that you can send people messages, write on their profi les (“walls” for all you Facebook connoisseurs), and for no reason at all, electronically “poke” peo- ple. You can fi gure out who is looking for a relationship, you can fi nd out who is in a relationship. You can fi nd people who are like- minded at McPherson College, whether it be in political views or favorite movies. You can fi nd out who has read “What’s the Mat- ter with Kansas” and who hasn’t. You can even fi nd out who lives in the dorm you do. Hours upon hours of time are being spent by McPherson College students exploring the intricate details of this fascinating website. But, McPherson College students, beware. It is fun to see what your friends are doing. It’s fun, though pointless, to click on hun- dreds of profi les and “poke” people. But when this fun prevents you from doing things like homework, hanging out with friends and generally enjoying your college experience, it’s a problem. There is a danger, and it’s probable, that http://www.facebook. com is a waste of time. Highly entertaining, but a waste of time nonetheless. So, this weekend, instead of trying to fi gure out who at McPherson College thinks “Finding Nemo” is a great movie, go outside! Take a walk to the park and do your homework while feeding the geese. Go hang out in someone’s room. Watch “Find- ing Nemo” or read “What’s the Matter with Kansas.” Don’t allow the wonders of Facebook to keep you from doing the things that Mission: Super Glue are important.

LACY JOHNSTON Spectator Staff

With the arrival of the fall sport seasons, injuries are an ever present danger for athletes. On an av- erage day, there are over 20 to 30 athletes getting therapy, doing strengthening exercises, prevention exercises, getting taped or icing aches and pains. “It’s about the average amount of people in the training room,” said Christa Blose, a student trainer. McPherson College has two certifi ed trainers: Rob Azelton and Sheryl Peters. Assisting them are seven students: seniors Christa Blose and Lee Gustafson, juniors Kimberly Koharchik and Jeremy Hoffman, sophomores Tyler Stewart and April Woody and freshman Lacy Johnston. “Since football has such large numbers, we are constantly busy. But overall, the percentages of in- juries in each sport is fairly equal,” Peters said. There are roughly four to fi ve football players who will not compete per game. The majority of the inju- ries are minor and still allow the athlete to compete. Peters and Azelton both encourage people to use the proper techniques, warm up and stretch to pre- vent injuries; but sometimes the injuries cannot be avoided. The athlete is just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Occasionally, athletes are still injured despite ev- SPORTS PAGE ery precaution taken by the trainers. Sometimes in- juries are the result of poor techniques or overuse, which is very diffi cult if not impossible for a trainer to correct. There are a wide variety of injuries that are oc- curring from a simple sprain to a tear. The ankles and knees are the most common injury with the ath- letes. Injuries are incredibly diffi cult from sport to sport, especially when the team has very few members who can fi ll in for someone who is injured. “The injuries defi nitely affect the (cheerleading) team! The team has the ability to perform some of the most elite cheerleading stunts at the collegiate level, but due to injuries and the number of people involved, performing to their ability is hard,” said Tia Leach, cheerleading coach. Athletes aren’t the only students using the training room. Students who have had surgery or sustained an injury outside of collegiate athletics are coming in and getting therapy, strengthening and icing. Peters and Azelton have a wide variety of tasks to

perform. Not only do they spend time in the training photo by Liz Wagoner room, they also travel with the teams and treat inju- Freshman football player, Kyle Gurss, sports crutches after a knee injury early in the season.
