Just two more papers to go. Since opportunity for this editor to express her opinions could be slipping away, I decided that it would be quite the proper time to bring to print some of the really important issues on campus — ones which the community finds really bothersome and which consume most of their intellectual thought and discussion.

by Tim Weko This is the time of the sports year which is known as a transitional period — the time when football, soccer and cross country are over, but the winter sports, basketball and wrestling haven't yet begun. It's also a good time to sum up a lot of things. For instance, I would like to congratulate each football player who stuck with the team. Of course there were no victories, but as important as victories are, they somehow pale in the light of the determination that was part of each team member. Sometimes the will to survive is as admirable as the will to win, and it seemed that the Royals had some of both qualities this season. There were many good individual performances that the players can look back at with pride, but I'm sorry they couldn't have gotten the win they so richly deserved. That brings us to the Cross Country team which was winning against most of its opponents until the last couple of weeks when the guys last to Winona and Hamline. These were disappointing losses, but should by no means be the yardstick used to measure the success of the whole season. There were numerous team victories and many good team efforts. And individually times steadily improved as the season progressed .It's awfully easy to look ahead to next year, but in this case it is also valid thinking because the core of a strong team will return next year. The soccer team, though not a varsity team, was still composed of school members and those deserve attention. They had what might be termed a successful season, but it. was so inconsistent as to make one wonder. But they did beat the University and tie the U's international club team. I think possibly they're biggest disappointment was their Bethel's basketball squad, which has been practicing as a team since October 27 opened final loss to Hamline which might have been due to an overdose of their season November 21 at Briar Cliff in Iowa. confidence. You must respect your opponent no matter how bad he is, or he'll beat you. That goes in all sports. I personally hope the soccer team reaches varsity status next year because they seem to have earned a chance. Basketball team begins cage season Out goes the fall season and in comes the winter. Basketball and wrestling at this time look to have a chance to have their most success- ful seasons in a long time. And they'll probably need to win every in Iowa with Briar Cliff and Dordt game and every match to shake some spirit into this morgue.
