The Fine Line: Academic Freedom Or Mouthing Off? By AMY REYNOLDS And KAREN NEUSTADT (CPS) — The chairman of a black studies department, a university football coach, a gay campus minister and a philoso phy professor — these four have more In common than most would think. On the increasingly politically correct campuses of the 1990s. Leonard Jeffries. Bill McCartney, the Rev. Peter John Gomes and professor Michael Levin have found themselves in the middle of an academic freedom fight that has more faces and sides than possibly imagined. Jeffries was the latest to feel the heat — again - when the City College Board of Trustees voted March 23 to have Edmund Gordon, a retired Yale University professor who served as the chairman of Yale s black studies program. Although Jeffries will remain at the school as a tenured professor, he has told The New York Times he will file a lawsuit against the school over the vio latlon of his academic freedom. Jeffries' removal as chairman was the result of a speech he gave In July .it a black arts festival. "You can't trust the white boy.' Jeffries told the largely black audience. He added that Jews .iiul the Mafia ion spired in Hollywood to portray blacks unfavorably in the movies and that Jews helped finance the slave trade. Immediately following the speech, city and state government officials .is well as members of New York City's large Jewish and Italian communities urged <iiy College officials to take some kind ofac tion against Jeffries. Many of today's politically correct scholars argue that bla tantly racist and inflammatory statements like the ones attributed to Jeffries should not be protected as academic freedom.

Others In the academic coin munlty disagree and argue that the concept of academic freedom as guaranteed by the Consliiu lion protects the freedom of all speech, ideas and thoughts in the academic world — a place thai needs to be completely free of censors to allow for InteUec tual growth.

Should faculty and staff be allowed to voice their opinions, no matter how repugnant those views may be? Some say yes, others no. "If a college or university Is not a forum for the exchange of ideas, then our understanding of the First Amendment in the U.S. is Jeopardized." said Iris Molot sky. spokeswoman for the American Association of Uni versity Professors. That's not to mean that there aren't some things we object to. but we don't want to restrict free speech or Ideas. What we need is more free speech to say. Hey. we don't agree with ilils In one of the first rulings dealing with the head-on colli sion between I>C movement sup porters and academic freedom fighters, a U.S. District Court judge ruled in favor of Michael I,evin. a philosophy professor al City College who studies race differences and has said that blacks are "significantly less in telllgent than whites." That sentiment got Ixvin into trouble with City College officials who formed a panel to review his research and monitored his classes. tevin sued and won U.S. District Court Judge Kenneth Conboy said the case

pointed out the dangers of the "political correctness" move inent. This c.isc raises serious con Btltutlonal questions thai go to the heart of the current national debate on what has come to be denominated as political correctness' In speech and thought on the campuses <>f the nation's colleges and universities." Conboy said. The Judge prohibited City College officials from conducting any further inquiries Into Levin's writings or views and told the school It could not establish separate class sections in certain areas solely because of Levin's opinions. "My court case shows that the root won't come crumbling down on (others who conduct similar research). Levin told el's at (he time. But the roof has crumbled down on others openly fighting the PC tide. A coach who became a hero for turning around a losing foot ball team has been the center of controversy al the University of Colorado for years, making comments that have split the campus and embarrassed administrators Bill McCartney, known as (o.ich Mac. has frequently -hrrn accused ol using Ins posi tlon to further his Christian views against homosexuality. The latest flap occurred in January when he called homo sexuality "an abomination of Almighty Ood." McCartney called a news conference on campus to express his support for a campaign to ihorw out ■ state law that protects gay men and lesbians from discrimination in housing and hiring. Colorado President Judith Albino, caught In the ensuing lire, issued a statement saying that a university "should be a place where all ideas can be

McCartney also has been at the center of the following mci dents • In 1984. the American Civil Liberties Union obtained a court order that stopped the coach from forcing his players to saj prayers before games • In 1989. attempts were made to oust McCartney for publicly supporting anti abortion marches being staged at a Boulder abortion clinic-. • In 1989. the coach raised an outcry when he said rape must include physical abuse to constitute a crime. In contrast, at the Harvard Divinity School, a bastion of liberalism, the Rev. Peter John Gomes has found himself in the middle of a furor over his private life. Gomes has publicly professed his homosexuality. According to Time Magazine. Gomes declared. "I am a Chris tian who happens as well to be gay." In front of a cheering crowd last November as he stood on the steps of Memorial Church. The black minister's revela tion touched off protests from a student group called Concerned Christians at Harvard." which was formed to force Gomes' res ignation. While there have been some concerns raised by alumni over Gomes' position, the school ad ministration appears to back him Gomes, who has served as minister of the university's Memorial Church and a Plum mer Professor of Christian Morals, is well known for his popular Sunday sermons. According to an assistant. Gomes was out of town and could respond only to written questions.

OPINION

Longwood's Excellent Reputation For Teacher Education - Will It Continue? By LINDA M. NYGAARD SUff Writer Longwood has become well known throughout the state of Virginia for Its excellence In lucatlon. This reputa Uon has been achieved through the dedication of qualified I . and practical, methods COUrai which In combination, have resulted In preparing ere atlvc and Innovative teachers. Whether this reputation will be continued In the future has yet to be determined, due to the re structuring of the education program I he program changes at Longwood became effective In Inly. 1990, following a decision which was handed down by for mei Governor Halites to all state ■uppt rted i olleges In Virginia. <>l Course, this decision was not real hed without giving much consideration to the long reachIriH Impact such changes would have on our future teachers, and children. To the contrary. Governoi Balllea appointed a com mlttee, a selected group of non educators, to help him reach his well Informed decision. Under the new educational program, students who wish to ti ich In the elementary school NK 8, must now major In a lib) ral arts or science area. I Ims. the major of "Elementary Education" no longer exists, at ofQclally In Itself. Instead. the Student must sign up for the ek tnentary education program. In addition to their liberal arts or science major. The Idea Is simple - by completing a few. carefully selected education courses, the student will receive all the "basics" of teaching, and. In addition, be qualified to teach a specialty area. This sounds great, doesn't It? Some of the professors In

I I r . ». I

r j e c I

Longwood's Education Depart ment. who wished to remain anonymous, do not agree. Among the educational classes that will no longer be re quired for elementary education certification are as follows: math methods for elementary school teachers, science methods for elementary school teachers, art education In the elementary classroom, music In the class room, elementary school health and physical education, children's literature, grammar, pub He speaking, economics, and geography (30 total hours). The only education courses which are required consist of the following: a one credit lntroduc tory class, human growth and development, language arts, developmental reading, diagnostic teaching of reading and a class In principles of education. These 16-hours mark the end of general certification requirements. Of course, after completing these classes, the student Is al lowed to take two educational practlcums. These practlcums. which both can be accomplished In one summer, allow the student to observe and participate In selected classrooms. Now the student Is ready for the professional student teaching semester. How can this be. I ask myself as an elementary education major, under the "old" program? Having completed each of the courses which are now cut from the program. I know firsthand of the vast strategies and methods that are explored In these classes. With these classes no longer a part of the program, how can the student be expected to gain these critical Insights into the teaching profession? 1 suppose it would be possible to learn some

of these through trial and error In student teaching, but what about things that cannot be learned through gradual, self discovery? Aren't these Insights the very things a college edui a tlon Is supposed to foster? However, there Is Justifiable merit In the new program, at least for middle school teachers who plan to teach In one. departmentalized area. For Instance, a student who wishes to teach fourth grade science can receive a wonderfully strong scl ence background for this professional goal by majoring in science. On the other hand, however, how much help will a major In astronomy - or the like - be for a kindergarten or primary teacher? Or how can a teacher with a major In psychology, for example, be expected to teach all of the major content areas In a primary school - English, math. science, music, physical educa tlon. art without having had any individual methods courses dealing with these subjects?

ROTUHDA. Editor. The Rotunda: On the evening of March 25. I went with two friends to the Weyanoke Retirement Home. We went with the Intention of doing an arts and crafts project with the residents. When we arrived, we helped them make door decorations with a spring theme. Not only was It an enlightening experience to me. It seemed enjoyable to the men and women there as well. After our activity was over, I played the piano for the residents. As I played, more and more people gathered to listen.

Not only did It seem to make the residents happy, but I felt very content being there making music. When I left Weyanoke that evening. I had an Incredible feeling of accomplishment; I made friends and was able to make a difference with my music. I strongly encourage anyone who enjoys sharing their per sonal talents to visit Weyanoke a few times before they graduate. Not only will It brighten and make a difference in your life. It will brighten someone else's as well. Cullen Johnson

Currently. Virginia Is the only state, besides Texas, which has mandated this new teacher edu cation program. Whether or not these changes will solve any of the current problems in the ed ucational system today has yet to be proven. I hold serious doubt. Nevertheless, this new pro gram Is now a reality which all state supported colleges In Vlr ginla are forced to follow, at least for the time. With that In mind, doubts need to be cast aside so that educators can focus their attention to the only Important Issue of this entire mess - becoming the best teacher they can be. for the children.

"Charlies Fine Food and Cock tails," recently purchased the former "Monty's Restaurant and Cocktails" building on West Third Street to fulfill a dream. Although skeptical of purchasing the restaurant during a time of recession. Charlie has been pleased with her success. "From my angle It doesn't look like the country Is having any economic problems. Since opening, two months ago. my business has been wonderful. I Just hope It will continue." she said. "Charlie's" does not specifically cater to the student popu latlon as do Perlnl's and MacA do's. Her main goal is to provide fine dining at a reasonable price, to anyone. Dinner prices average from $8.95 per person, which Include your entree, salad and vegetable, to $21 per couple. Obviously, the price is dependent upon the chosen entree. "Charlie's" chef prepares a nightly special. However. In order to alleviate boredom. "Charlie's does not set specialty nights such as Mondays — Italian, Tuesday — Mexican, etc. There are plans to offer specialties of fresh Alaskan crab legs and prime rib during the first week of April. As of yet, the spe

clflc dates have not been designated. "Breakfast and lunch appear to cater more to the downtown merchants and Ixmgwood fac ulty." she said. "We notice more Hampden Sydney and Longwood students during the dinner hours." "I depend on students not only for business but also as employees. Once the spring semester ends. I don't know what I am going to do. I'll lose three great employees to graduation," Charlie said. Since Just recently opening. "Charlie's has not seized the opportunity to offer special deals or events for the students. How ever, according to Charlie, she plans on providing "something special" for students next year. "Charlie's is not like Perinls or MacAdo's but I hope students will try us out,'' she said. "When you're out see what "Charlies' has to offer, and don't forget to mention you read about it in The Rotundal' "Charlie's Is located at 118 West Third Street.

Longwood Celebrates National Library Week By TRAVIS GRIFFIN Staff Reporter Longwood College celebrated National Library Week on Sunday. April 5. by holding a bookreading ceremony at the Longwood College Library Atrium. The ceremony was convened by a wind ensemble performing Renaissance and Baroque style music. This performance was enacted by Carolyn DeWolfe of the Learning Center, Jean and Mary Murphy of the Library Staff, and Joe Murphy of the Longwood Bookstore. There was a large variety of books laid out on tables all through the library atrium The books laid out included everything from children's books to how-to books, from biographical books to novels. These books were for the audience to browse through both before and after the ceremony. Hosting the ceremony was Rebecca Lalne, Acting Director. of the Longwood Library. She began the ceremony by making some opening remarks to the audience about what was to come. She also commented about the importance of books. Lalne noted that Longwood's book budget was restored by 95 percent this year after taking a dramatic plummet last year. She also noted that there were many new and classic books available on the tables for anyone who wished to purchase one. The ceremony consisted of speakers reading or reciting selected sections of their favorite books. The first speaker was Frank Howe, who works for the Department of Education. Mr. Howe read from his favorite book. Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird. He read the very ending of the book but ensured the audience that it would not ruin the rest of the book. The second speaker was Dr. Elisabeth Ftynn, an Art Professor at Longwood. Flynn read quotes from John W. Dlxon's Art and the Theological Imagination. She said that this Is the book that she most wishes she had written. The major thesis of this book was expressed In this quote: "Art Is not an element In an existing world, it Is a primary element In shaping that world." Dr. Flynn shares the same sen tlment as Dlxon that people who are not Involved In the making of art should make more of an effort to understand It and not Just pass It off as unimportant

The third speaker was senior Marianne Moffat. Moffat read from the children's book. The Wind and the Willows by Ken neth Grahame. She read a con versatlon between the river rat and the mole In the book. The fourth speaker was Dr. Cralg Challender. an English Professor at Longwood. Dr. Challender read passages from Walt Whitman's Leaves ojGrass. Dr. Challender read these passages In such a way that made It very Interesting and moving. The fifth speaker was Christy McDonald, a sophomore English major at Longwood. McDonald has won several awards for her story telling. McDonald read the entire book, Flossie and the Fox. by Paty McKlssack. The best thing about her storytelling Is her Interpretation of the voices and accents of the characters in the book. The sixth speaker was Dr. Mike Lund, an English Professor at Longwood. Dr. Lund read passages from Eric Kraft's Little Follies: The Personal History. Adventures. Experiences of Peter Leroy (So Far). The seventh and final speaker was Dr. Kevin Dunn, Chemistry Professor at Hampden-Sydney College. Dr. Dunn recited Dr. Seuss's The Sneetches. This presentation was the most unique because he used visual aids to accompany his recitation. Dr. Dunn used two contraptions that would change plain pieces of cardboard to pieces with stars on them and vice-versa. Everyone obviously enjoyed It and most seemed to view it as the highlight of the ceremony. The production ran very smoothly and was extremely interesting. Informative. and entertaining. After the ceremony was an Informal reception. During this time, audience members and speakers were treated to one of Professor Maria Sllvelra's fa nious cakes.

Sugar Hollow Reservoir provides good spots for fishing.

Spring Provides Good Fishing By EDDIE MONGER Staff Writer Early springtime is a great time to fish. With warmer weather, fish become more active and are hungry. Trout season opened In designated waters of Virginia on March 21. 1 spent a couple of hours at Sugar Hollow Reservoir In Albemarle County that day. Sugar Hollow has a good population of trout. It's stocked with brook and rainbow trout, and has some native trout. Hundreds of people lined the shore and waited for 9 a.m. (the season officially opened at that time). Anglers fished with salmon eggs. corn, marshmallows. Berkley Power Bait, meal worms, earthworms, spinners, and artificial flies. Most of the trout were being caught with corn or a combination of mealworms and Power Bait. Many farm ponds throughout Virginia provide great fishing. These small, private ponds are sometimes Inhabited by monster fish. On a warm and sunny day. In early March, I went fishing with my brother-in-law at a small pond behind his house. I was fishing for crapple and using a 1/32 oz. crapple Jig that was white. Crappie are related to the sunfish family and are quite tasty. Crapple are also referred to as "specs", "silvers." and "silver perch."

Anyhow. I was having a good time and was catching a lot of small fish. I would cast my Jig out Into the deep water, let It sink for a few seconds, and then reel the lure In slowly. The fish would usually strike the Jig as it fell to the bottom. However, the biggest fish Inhaled the lure when It drifted over a sunken log that was about 10 feet from the shore. The fish put up a spectacular fight and when I landed it, the crapple weighed a little over two pounds. During Sprtrg Break. I had several opportunities to go fishing. I fished at several local ponds In Albemarle County. I had the most luck using the crapple jigs. I also caught several nice largemouth bass using those lures. Several of Virginia's state record fish were caught In early spring. Richard Tate caught the Virginia state record largemouth bass on April 16. 1985 at Lake Conner. The lunker bass weighed In at 16 pounds. 4 ounces. On April 27. 1986. Michael Mills caught a record sunfish (from a private pond) that weighed 4 pounds. 12 ounces. On April 18. 1987. Jeff Bates caught a record crappie il at weighed 4 pounds, 3 ounces. Bates caught the fish at Gaston Reservoir. Early spring Is a great Ume to go fishing, but then again, any ti n« 's p. great time to fish.

Several cadets, led by Captain Gary Wltteklnd, examine one of the cannon emplacements at Petersburg National Battlefield Park.

ROTC Cadets Visit Battlefield By JAMES K. JOHNSON ASST. EDITOR On March 7 the ROTC department led a small group of cadets to the Petersburg National Battlefield. The group was led by Captain Gary Whltteklnd. The tour lasted for several hours, and was designed to give cadets a better understanding of the events leading up to the siege of Petersburg and Its final outcome. The tour was a one day event. It was highlighted by a detailed explanation of the whole battle, and a walk to the Battle of the Crater. The battle for Petersburg began In June 1864 and was part of General U.S. Grant's plan of attrition against the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. The selge would last a gruesome 10 1/2 months and would be a disaster for the South. Grant's strategy was simple, since he realized that the key to taking Richmond lay In the capture of Petersburg. Petersburg Itself contained four railroad lines and housed several key roads that were Utilized by the South. These rails and roads provided Richmond with supplies, equipment, munitions, and rations. Many critics believed that If Richmond fell then the war would soon be over. Grant however believed that the only way of defeating the South was the elimination of General Robert E. Lee's army. Grant soon encircled the city and cut Lee's supply lines thus,

the longesl siege in American warfare began One of the highlights of the battle was the rreatlon of the Crater and the story behind It. Not long after the siege began, soldiers of the 48th I'eiinsylva nla Infantry, many ex-coal miners, began to dig a tunnel toward a Confederate held fort. The plan was to explode four tons of gunpowder under the fort and send a large number of troops Into the gap created In the enemy's defenses by the explosion. If the plan was to succeed, Petersburg would be captured In a shot, time and

thus the war would soon be over. The tunnel took a month to dig and was 511 feet long, and had lateral galleries at the end to hold the explosive gunpowder. When the explosion took place on the morning of July 30. It destroyed a Confederate artillery battery and left In the earth a crater 170 feet long. 60 feet wide, and 30 feet deep. The Union troops began to plunge directly Into the crater and thus blundered badly since their original plan called for them to go around the Crater. Soon a Confederate counterattack retook the crater and Inflicted 4.000 casualties on Federal forces. The siege continued and many Union officers were critl ci/ed and removed from command. Before the fall of l*etersburg. Lee would be successful In escaping and retreating with his forces; however. It would not be long before the eventual surrender at Appomattox. Another treat that cadets were exposed to was a tour of the U.S. Army's Quartermaster Museum. This museum is located on Fort Lee. The museum houses a multl tude of U.S. Army relics and memorabilia dating from the Revolutionary War to Operation Desert Storm. The museum has many highlights such as the original Jeep used by General Oeorga s. Patton. Jr. in World War Two. a full scale army sup ply wagon, and an array of original military uniforms and weapons. The Quartermaster Corps, founded two days after the creation of the Army In 1775. Is the oldest service corps In the U.S. Army today. Through the years the Corps has been accountable for almost every ser vice function Including: food, Clothing, transportation, aerial supply, petroleum supply, and finally mortuary services. In 1941 Camp I.ee was deslg nated as the Chief Quartermas ter training (enter, and In 1962 Fort Lea became the U.S. Army's Quartermaster Center.

Players Perform Wilde's Importance of Being Earnest By ROSEANN PITZL Staff Reporter The Longwood Players will perform Oscar Wilde's classic comedy The Importance of Being Earnest this week on Wednesday through Saturday. April 8-11. Curtain will be at 8 p.m. on all nights, and Friday's performance will be signed for the deaf. General admission will be $5; $3 for Longwood employees, area students and senior cltl/<ns; free to Ixtngwood students with ID. Douglas Slmes, an actor, teacher and singer from New York City will be the guest dl rector of Earnest. Slmes. a 43 year old graduate of the Yale School of Drama, has had a number of roles Including parts In "All My Children." and "Ryan's Hope," as well as an ap pearance In the South Jersey Regional Theatre performance of Educating Rita. He played Mr. Frank In the Barter Theatre In Ablngdon's production of The Diary of Anne Frank, and appeared In Stage Struck, of the same company. Slmes became acquainted

I I I I «

with Longwood after meeting Speech and Theatre faculty member Pamela Arkln. Arkln had taken a group of students to the Barter Theatre production of The Foreigner, a play which she later directed at Longwood. Slmes came to Longwood last spring as one of two persons who assess the work of theatre department performance majors. He has returned to direct this Victorian comedy, as well as teach a five week, one-creditcourse called Elements of Scene Work. The Importance of Being Earnest Is set In London and Hertford In Jury of 1895. and Is a satire about the leisure class that resides there. The cast consists of eight Longwood students. David Richards and Rick Codding play the debonair young bachelors. Algernon Moncrieff and John Worthing. The "visible" personification of absolute perfection." Ceclle Cardew, Is played by Teresa Coding, and Kate Dunnet plays the witty and elegant Gwendolyn

Fairfax. Ann Helm Is Miss Prism. Cecily's governess, and Daniel Ellis has a double role as butler and manservant. Jonathan Church is the footman, and Pamela Arkln Is the formidable matriarch of the Fairfax family. Lady Brackenell. Another staff member at Longwood. Hal Sherman, portrays the devout and meticulous Rev. Canon Chasuble. Slmes Is excited about the play, which has been called "the most perfect play ever written." Of Earnest, he stated. The irony is blunt. There are no wasted words, no wasted actions. It's nonsentimental. but also wonderfully, scathingly funny. It's a send-up of a comedy of manners." It Is a "satire of the leisure class," and contains a lot of "farce and deception." "I had never acted in or directed this show before now," Simes states. "It's so good. I wish I had discovered it sooner." Set and lighting design are by Kent Buess. a graduate student In Theatre at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

can opposition, did not respond to repeated requests for background information on his views on higher education or to requests for an Interview with the candidate. However, Buchanan released the following statement about his views on public education. American education Is In a state of decline, largely the result of an ever-Increasing education bureaucracy, and a lack of competition within the system. From affirmative action In hiring, to busing for racial balance and assaults on uniform, standard testing, too much ideologically motivated experientatlon has been Inflicted on public schools. 'To revitalize American education, we need vouchers to allow parents to send their children to schools of their choice. This will create market pressures on education at the local level to produce what students need most — real learning. In addition, local education officials need the authority to hire and fire teachers and the flexibility to respond to parental concerns over the curricula. Teachers, administrators and principals who fall to deliver the quality demanded and expected

by parents must be held ac countable."

Women Reflections Of A Road Trip Ruggers Stomp By CHRISTOPHER MVUJNS Staff Writer Ivy League 10:25 a.m.- Todd. Mark Simon, and myself return from Burger King, only to find out our game is canceled because the field is too wet to play on. Coach tells us we have practice at 4:00. so we can now do whatever until 4:00. 3:45 p.m. - We leave for practice following a day of nothing. We watched TV and played video games all day. The atmosphere isn't right for studying, so we basically Just killed time. 6:0O p.m. - Back to the Ho Jo Inn. We dropped about half the team off at "the mall The mall Is about two miles from where we are staying, so Coach dropped them off with the Intent of going back to pick them up. The mall Is a way for us to get away from the hotel, the bus. and baseball for an hour or two. It's quite refreshing sometimes, but tonight I came back to the hotel to watch Duke vs. Virginia, on ESPN. 6:30 p.m. - The other half of us go to Qulncy's Family Steakhouse again. The all-you-can-eat buffet has a good variety, so you can eat something different every night. 8:00 p.m. - Mark Simon. Todd. Benm Flschoff. John Daniel, and myself return from dinner to the hotel. After we all go our separate ways to our rooms. Todd and I get ready for the UVA game. Wrong. Todd Is dead asleep by nine, so I end up watching the game myself. I was asleep by 12 o'clock. 1 guess the road Is already catching up with us. Thursday. Feb. 27 8:30 a.m. - Our wake up call comes and we're up this time. After showering and getting our uniforms on. Mark. Todd and I go to Shoney's for and all-you can eat breakfast bar. What a waste. Knowing I have to pitch the second game today (we're playing a make-up doubleheader) my appetite Is hiding somewhere. I eat enough breakfast, but not enough to hold me over until 9 p.m., our next meal. 11:00 a.m. - We leave for Francis Marlon College which Is about 15 minutes from our hotel. 11:15 a.m. - We arrive at the field for batting practice (BP). Doing the age old pitching ritual. I shag fly-balls in the 70 degree weather God blessed us with. Following B.P.. I stretch and Jog, trying to settle down and relax. Relaxing is important when you are a pitcher because you need to save up all of your energy. Pitching Is both mentally and physically demanding, because you are the center of attention. 1:00 p.m. - The first pitch of the 1992 season is thrown. Being the visiting team, we hit first. Believe It or not. I cannot remember if the first pitch was a ball or a strike. I guess It was because It snuck up on me. I was In the middle of my pre-game prayer (or plea) begging the Big Man for a win. He obliged. We won 11-10 in the 11th Inning. 4:30 p.m. - After a very long first game, it Is time to get warmed up for the second game. I was having mixed feelings. I was very excited to pitch, but Francis Marion seemed to be good hitters. I guess you'd call it fear of failure. That fear lasted until my first step onto the mound in the game. 6:00 p.m. - The second game starts. I notice something is missing. Nol the umpires. Not the other team. Not Coach Boldlng. Not the 20 professional scouts who came to see Mike Tucker. Scott Abell, etc. It was the crowd, or at least the student section. The first game hosted about 150 fans (a lot for college baseball), 100 of whom which were students. They were an effective crowd. They were all over Terry Taylor (third baseman) and Tucker (shortstop). The students sat right behind the foul fence up the third base line, so Taylor and Tuck were easy pickings. This Journal Is rated PG 13. so I cannot tell you what they said. I was kind of hoping they would ride me. so I could feel like the enemy. I like that feeling, It seems to bring the best out of me. 7:50 p.m. The winning run scored, for them. They had won in the bottom of the seventh with two out. We led 2-1 In the last Inning, but they pulled it out. I had mixed feelings about my perfoi inane c. but the bottom line Is we lost. 8:30 p.m. After showering, Todd and I ordered pizza. While we were waiting. I called my dad and told him the news. He was disappointed, but very supportive. 11:00 p.m. Hie two old men fall asleep.
