Maintaining Standards of Athletics r;- hose connected with the L men's club Sports Council say that the organization has taken some of the heat off men's intramural director Cecil Beck, although many are still quick to blame Beck for problems that arise in the program. The council was formed in the fall of 1984, a few months after a semester that hostility grew among some social clubs, both on and off the field. Beck had considered forming a council for several years, but was prompted to do something to give more student input. The council was to consist of all men's club athletic directors, who were to elect a president and a secretarytreasurer from among themselves, and Beck, who was to sit in on the meetings as a faculty adviser. A twothirds quorum was necessary to hold a meeting. Contrary to what some think, the Council is not a symbolic, ceremonial body that has little influence on intramural and club policy. In the past few years, the Council has changed the eligibility requirements for varsity athletes playing club sports and for those jumping clubs. The council has also dealt with disciplinary problems and forfeit policy. Although only two meetings per semester are scheduled, more can be held if needed. "When people want a rule changed, we'll work something out," secretarytreasurer Tony Daugherty said. Athletic directors are to put their club's wishes above their personal preferences, Daugherty said. The athletic directors usually are to consult their clubs regarding their feelings towards issues on the agenda. The council, especially the officers, put their feelings behind when it comes to disciplinary matters. Although club representatives are allowed to answer charges, "People try to play on your emotions;' Daugherty said. "I feel sorry for them, but you go by the rule. What's the point having rules if you don't go by them:' The council has become especially tough on clubs whose athletic directors miss meetings, recently passing a rule that calls for all the club's teams to begin the next scheduled sport in the loser's bracket. "We feel it is important for every club to attend;' he said. <@>- Shawn Goodpasture Sports council. Front row: fackay, Fitzgerald, Alexander, Smith, Wood, Teague, Converse.
