Last month, while the rest of Jacksonville 1 State University was preparing for Spring Break, two groups of students were preparing for debate. On Friday, March 18, stu- dents from 16 universities and one high school arrived at Converse College in Spartanburg, SC, for the Southeast University Model Arab League. Two of the 17 collegiate groups hailed from JSU. The Political Science Model Arab League represented Egypt and the JSU Model Arab groups hailed from JSU. The Political Science Model Arab League represented Egypt and the JSU Model Arab League represented United Arab Emirates. Two members of the Egyptian assembly, Amber Dudley and Dwayne Rice, were awarded Best Delegation by their peers in the Environmental Committee.

Amado Ortiz The Chanticleer From the rifle team to Cobie's last second shot, Chanticleer sports runs down the top stories of the past year.

In the wonderful world of jour- nalism, deadlines come and dead- lines go and the worst deadline of all came on Tuesday. This edition of the paper would be its last of the semester. Talk about a deadline.But that is all part of the gig. The one thing I wish that could be different is the amount of press every sport receives. It is very hard to cover all the sports with a limited staff. In niy opinion, the football play- er, rifle shooter, and track runner are all the same but it is hard to cover all the sports equally. I believe they all work equally hard but I guess that is the nature of the business. That doesn't mean I agree with it. Everyone gives them flak about get- ting breaks and getting the easy road. But honestly, it is not like they get out of all the school work, they have to do it eventually after they have practices and games. I know there are people out there that are saying " Hey Armando, I have to work 30 hours a week, or I'm in the SGA, or I play in the band or I am in the let's check the Chanticleer for grammatical errors club and I deserve some slack too. I hear your cry. It is not like I get any flexibility for covering the sports either. But hear my cry. (It is not their fault either.)

We are all students and we should all stick together no matter what. That is why my final column as sports editor is not even going to be about sports. I found myself preaching to the choir when someone asked me if I was going to the Pat Green concert last week. I put on a smile and said, " I already have plans and I have to start studying for a final." My hon- est answer should have been no because I just don't like the music. Little did I know that I hurt the individual's feelings with my response. I started to wonder why and thought what is the big deal. You know, somebody probably worked real hard on booking the entertainment. You know, someone took the time to plan it on a Thursday night. (Jacksonville's party night) You know, the SGA probably doesn't make any money on the concert and basically does it for the student body.
