Show l 1 dl i r l r. r f f rI r f J Opinions on the world of sports Dear Sports Editor Being a student for one whole school year I have come to notice the apathy of student participation that still haunts Salt Lake Community College Last year I attended some not all of the mens men's basketball games Traditionally mens men's games receive more spectator participation participation participation par par- than women's games Well the participation was such a sad sight I personally wouldn't have even liked to see how many people attended games I bet it was just the athletes parents What is even sadder is when a school of plus students can have maybe tops attend a game and the visitor team can have in attendance people And that's the teams th t come from out of state to play What does that mean Especially to the players Now what could be the reasons for student turnout that is isso isso isso so low for a college in the Salt Lake Valley Is it that we have too much to do on our week nights so that we cannot attend a student activity That would be a realistic answer or should I Isay Isay Isay say excuse Would another reason be that many of the students arent aren't informed of times and dates of activities Gosh if that were the case they didn't read the posters advertising the events nor the advertisements in the student newspaper nor the calendar of events all in which are free And should those people be attending a sporting game it may be too complicated complicated complicated for them To me there is no excuse for students not attending games and activities at I know people are busy with other functions and stresses of life but for a lot of the part its it's what I haven't been wanting to believe Students just dont don't give a dang Bang I do hope that this year will change for the better but from what campus activities Ive I've attended so far it doesn't look any better Maybe school spirit will kick in after the quarter gets going and things will look better Maybe the activity activity activity ac ac- ac- ac participation will stay the same with the same few people attending every activity Maybe not I hope not But then again who am I to say Sincerely t i Jennifer VP VR |
