Band
Continued from page 3 "The main problem is that there is little recognition of the pep band and its impor- tance," said Rice. He agreed with Sauter that the band is providing an important service for the school's image and they deserve some type of support. Rice plans to propose a letter from the band president to the Athletic Advisory Board this week. If the board approves of the band's requests, a resolution will be sent to the senior administrative level for further discussion. Both the Athletic Director and the band members are receiving complaints about their absence. Sauter emphasized that "we really want to be there," but noted that a similar situation may arise next year if no funding is obtained.

As any politician or leader knows, "You can't please all of the people all of the time." When policy decisions are made, there are inevitable cries of dissent or protest as well as sup- port and praise. It is important, however, that students and citizens know who is behind the decisions affecting their lives. Two recent policy decisions by SAC to provide printed minutes of its meetings and to request roll call votes deserve applause. It is hoped the availability of the minutes will encourage studen- ts to understand how SAC operates, decides and acts. The open communication is certainly welcome and refreshing. The roll call votes (if approved) will be published and should enable students to identify, speak to, or appeal privately to SAC members who vote on specific issues. In order for this Letters to the Ed policy to be effective, it must be implemented with each decision SAC makes. The time spent requesting and approving roll call votes will be well worth the conceivably small delays. complaint was made. Besides J3O2 there were com- crowd like w e did against Si.

Squash Improves Record by Joe Yanarella The Fordham Rams Squash team com- pleted a very successful week with an im- pressive victory over Stevens, 8-1 and then defeating George Washington by the score of 9-0. This two-game winning streak, which is especially promising because of the team's six-week break before playing Stevens, lifts Fordham's record to 5-9. Against George Washington, the Rams were led by senior captain Chris Widney, juniors Sean Brown and Andy Dejunco and sophomore Dave Reiss. "I was pleased with the play of David Reiss and Andy Dejunco," said Coach Bob Hawthorn. Reiss and Dejun- co, who arc the number eight and nine players, both won in three straight sets. Hawthorn believes "the big difference between Fordham and Ivy league schools is that Ivy league players have at least 4-6 years of squash experience before college." However, nine of the 10 freshmen on the Fordham squash team have had no squash experience at all. Because of this, Hawthorn feels the team is improving with every match and that the experience is invaluable. On Friday, February 4, the Rams will face Vassar at home. The Rams defeated Vassar earlier in the year by a score of 8-1. After the Vassar match, the team will travel to New England for a round robin with Wesleyan, Bowdoin, MIT, and Amherst beginning on February 11. The Rams will play four matches in three days but Hawthorn feels that this is advantageous to the team because the succession of matches keeps them sharp. After the New England trip, the Rams will close out their season with matches against Stevens and Columbia. The Rams are looking to avenge an early season loss, 6-3, suffered at the hands of Columbia. Track At Millrose DRINKING BEER IS LIKE Games At MSG by Maura Healy PUTTING TOGETHER A BASKETBALLTEAM.

Red Auerbach Head coach Tom Dewey said that the per- formances "were not exceptional." The two mile relay of Peter Van Bloem, Kevin Kelly, Luis Ruedas, and Gil Valdes ran almost a full ten seconds off their qualifying time of 7:40,1, clocking 7:49.8 at Millrose. The mile relay of George Mansfield, Pat Hafford, freshman Kevin O'Connell, and Steve Facini finished at 3:34.2 for a sixth place finish. "The track is slow," Dewey said, "but that's not an excuse. They could have been bet f.jr." "This is the biggest indoor meet, and it's 'lie most prestigious," continued Dewey, demonstrating that he was, at least, somewhat pleased with the trip.
