ALEXIS VAN DIKE ADVERTISING MANAGER Gee Leaves Legacy

In our shift as editors of this paper, we've strived to maintain the utmost level of journalistic integrity. And yet, with the death of such a great man, we all find it particularly difficult to report on his death without bias. Besides having a professional respect for E. Gordon Gee, this paper has always had a personal affinity for the Chancellor. There was Gee the man, and Gee the Chancellor, and the two roles often overlapped. Gee the man was a dedicated husband to Constance and father to Rebekah. His commitment to family despite professional duties led to many 2 hour nights and 22 hour days. He did not hide his personal dedication to Mormonism, nor did he stand idly by or shy away quietly from the controversial faith when the critics came to test him. He was an extremely well-educated man but was still very in-touch with his students. Gee the Chancellor came into this school three years ago, as reported by the Hustler, and immediately began trimming the bar- Campus group offends and erodes tradition nacles off Vanderbilt's ship of state.

Continuing their progress in the team's most successful season to date, Vanderbilt University Cricket Club booked their place in next month's SEC Final against Florida State with an emphatic six-wicket victory over the University of Alabama on Saturday. However, while the result may have appeared one-sided, Vanderbilt had a significant slice of good fortune when star batsman Jim Parks was dropped by Alabama wicket keeper Rashid Latif when he had made only 28. Had the catch been taken, Vanderbilt would have been on the ropes at 141-4, but the opportunity, low and hard to Latif's right, was put down. Parks went on to make a vital, unbeaten, 73 as Alabama's total of 251 was surpassed with 5 overs to spare. Following his let-off, Parks' com- bined with freshman batting star Joel Richards (a freshman, but hardly inex- perienced: at the age of 18 he has played in three national championship finals, a record for a player his age) and took Vanderbilt to 240-4 at which stage victory was certain. Richards, a left- hander with a huge arc to his striking, finished with 64 not out from 65 balls, Vanderbilt sophomore Rob Hilton on right evades an opponent to throw a strike to the power of his driving stinging hands teammate Tom Ditchfield (Not pictured).
