ree-wheeling

orum

ank you to all who contributed to the
rum’s success. It was a comfortable,
wheeling environment which started
along the road to hearing and
derstanding student interests and
ncerns. The students were very
iculate.
I will schedule, with others, another
a spring date.

President SMT

oach of the year
ot to blame

writing in response*to Geoff
cDonald’s article concerning the men’s
d women’s volleyball provincial
ampionships in Kelowna. In his

icle, Mr. McDonald made some

ks which were wildly inaccurate

opinions @op.douglas.bc.ca

and fraught with ignorance. His most
glaring error is his attempt at portraying
himself as an insightful and experienced
volleyball journalist/analyst. On two
separate occasions, Mr. McDonald
essentially blames coach Susan Sharpe
for the 3-1 loss to OUC on the fact that
she made virtually no substitutions. This
blatant attack on coach Sharpe’s
judgement is totally uncalled for seeing
as Sue Sharpe was this year’s BCCAA
Coach of the Year. Call me crazy, but I
think that Sue has a little more experi-
ence and expertise in this area than our
esteemed Geoff McDonald. Also, the
same six players who were on the floor
virtually the entire final were the same
players who defeated the Malaspina
Mariners in a thrilling five set semi-final.
These were also the same six players who
carried the team for most of the second
half of the season. Four of the starting
six were provincial all-stars. These
players were heavily relied upon time

and time again over the course of the
season and invariably they would come
through with a blistering kill or
unimaginable dig. During the less than
stellar play in the final, there was never a
doubt in my mind that these ladies
would pull through for us. Unfortu-
nately for us, OUC played their match
of the year. I appreciate Geoff McDon-
ald’s and the OP’s support during the
course of the season and this week’s
edition is the first time I can recall
volleyball making the front page.
However, please refrain from passing
judgement of DC’s coaching staff until
you have acquired understanding of
what exactly goes into building a
championship calibre program. I firmly
stand by the decisions of coach Sue
Sharpe.

Reverend Tom

Dear Reverend Tom:
I have read all the hymns, but they all seem very similar. Is there one particular
passage that God would have all mortals memorize?

    

Deeply Needing
Dear Deeply:
As a matter of fact, God does have a favourite prayer. I have painstakingly typed
it in verbatim. If you want to be part of Reverend Tom and God’s righteous
legions, memorize this, for it shall lead you through temptation.
Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink
T will be drunk, as thou shall be drunk,
At home as it is in the pub.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us for Coors
As we forgive those who drink Coors against us.
And lead us not to incarcerationl/,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is The Stout, The Bitter and The Lager
So let it be poured, so let it be drunk,
Forever and ever
BARMEN
