Prejudice
I remember when I wu s freshman. 1
took a course called "Prejudice". The
course, cc^iducled under the auspices of
the Psychology and Black Studies
Departments', was supposed to help people
become more aware of their prejudices,
and then enable him qr her to deal with
them, f remember the various groups such
as Blacks. Indians, senior citizens,
women, etc., we studied who were always
ill-treated because of society's attitudes
towards them. Having been here. at
Mercer now for three years. I have noticed
a prejudice that-1 feel is predominant on
this campu^ and should be dealt with in
the course. Ihe prejudice I refer to is that
shown towards persons associated with the
military, namely ROTC.
There are defmitely reasons for these
feelings, hut 1 question their validity.
Vietnam is still bitter in the mouths ,rf
many people, hence there seems to be a
hatred for the military. This Is. in itself,
unsound reasoning. The military 8id not
start the war, the politicians did.' The
Army did not commit itself to it's role in
Asia, the President did. It would be rather
stupid for soldiers themselves to start
ways, since it would be them getting killed,
or at the very least, separated from their
families.
One statement I hear quite a bit, is that
ROTC produces warmongers and babykillers like Lt. Galley. True, it does
produce commissiancd officers, but it did
not produce U. Galley. Galley was an
enlisted man who went through sis months
of Officer's Gamhdate School tkiring the
height of the war, when officers were
desperately needed. Obviously, he was not

one of the better ones. What I wonder is.
why is if right to make comparisons
between myself ai.d Galley? If I see one
Greek do something wrong. I don't
condemn the whole fraternity. The same
applies to any group here that I know of.
But 1 suppose ROTG is different. You
know. It's the IN THING to be DOWN on.
Some persons might claim that this
prejudice I speak of is only an indication of
my paranoia, and does not really exist. I
contend the problem does indeed exist,
both in 'the students here, and, more
regrettably, in the faculty. An incident
occurring a couple of years back when a
professor would not allow a uniformed
cadet to attend his class is yet to be
forgotten. And more recently I can recall a
political science professor of mine, when
commenting on a local political candidate
staling to the class "I have nothing against
the man, except for the fact that be is an
ex-Army ofneer." I think one could
seriously question his obje.uvity.
GoUege is a place for the spawning of
new ideas and-beliefs. It is an. idealistic
place. It helps us to set gulddlnes for our
lives. It is unfortunate, though, when it
bars reality.
The military, regardless of how
distasteful it may be to some, is a reality.
If I or anyone else have the conviction to be
apartof it, I should not be ridiculed for it. I
do not abhor friends of mine that are
avowed pacifists, because this is their
belief, and I respect them for it. But when
people can not render me the same
courtesies, I think there is something in
dire need of correction.

The Winter Snow Hope Festival
The Winter Snow Hope FesUval, the tlrat
at Ifs type to be held at Mercer, was held
Wedneaday night. February 12th in the'
cafeteria. The Festival, a creation of
several students, was what the Macon
Telegraph called "A celebraUon for no
reason", but at any rate, because of the
combined efforts of many people, among
them Jody Willis. Joe Davis. Henry
Hibbert, Peter Broadhead, and David
Hoake. the Festival helped do away with
some students terminal cases of "‘The

brought students Uigether U> express Uieir
ideas, h> sing their songs, and to just plain
enjoy themselves. We feel that the best
way to tell such a story is to let Uieae
phohis of the speakers, readers, singeis,
and stats of the FesUval speak for
themselves.

On Salurdny. Feb. 15, Mercer students
were treated to possibly the best concert
UiM school year as Donald Byrd and his
Blackbyrds played their brand of soul'(funkjai

Blackbyrds are a fiveHnan band

University. The emphasis was definitely
on the horn section of the band, but the
music revolved around the drivinc. rhythm
section supplied by bass and drums. The
Blackbyrds performed mostly original
material from their gold album and closed'
the show with the announcement that it
was time to "party”. Thin grand finale
brought dozens of listeners to their feet
and out into the aisles as banddapping
gave way to dancing.

. Ted Nugent, self proclaimed king of
feedback guitar, has released a new album
entitled ‘Tooth, Fang, and Clnw”
(Discreet records). Despite the almoag
gory title and the wildmao" image of
Nugent, the album it surprising in that it
contains some beautiful melodia and very
few electronic gimmicks.
. Nugent does a unique version nr the old
Chuck Berry classic "MaybeOine". as well
as plenty of original material. "Loying in
the Woods" contains some of the Amboy
Duke funk that many thought was non-,
existent and another line cut
"Hibernation" feahres Nugent’s inb
soke spinning in and Ihrough the
rhythm Mcbon. Overall, one of
finest reoirds and a far cry from “Journey

Bears Get Revenge
Bjr Goaialo C. Garci*
I
The Mercer Bean avenged an earlier
defeat at the hand* of South Alabama by
defeating the Jaguan 7»d7. in the Macon
COiiaemn last Saturday night. For the
second consecutive game the Bean
displayed a line exam^e of teamwork and
bu^,.
The Bean were led by the near perfect
shooting of Geary Taylor, who led all
tcoren arith 32 points. Taylor hit on 12 of It
shots from the field for aa amasing 66.7
percent, most of his shots were from deep
in the corner. Taylor paced the Bear
attack by scaring 23 of his poinU in the
aecood half.
\ South Alabama who had been averaging
ader 96 paints a game which was enough to
rank them aecood in the natiaa in scoring,
Vbehind North Carolina Sute, seemed awed
tough Mercer defense. Andre Brown
led the Mercer attack on defense hUeSing
several shots and leading both teams with
13 rehounds. Brown's presence seemed to
bother the Jaguan somewbal in their
offensive attack.
Sooth Alabama jumped to an early 6
point lead but they were unable h> blow the
Bean off the court as the Bean never
stopped bustliiig. Mercer tied the game at
Ihe midway point of the Rnt time in the
game at ig-is. For the remaining 9
minute* of the first baU the lead seesawed
back and forth between the Bean and the
Jaguan. In the nrst half the game was tied
CO « different occasMos and when the bom
sounded to end the first half the Bean
were led by Rkky Sinclair who scored 10
points, most of them coming from ten feet
out.
Both the Bean and the Jaquan came
out ready to play after the intermisaioo.
The first 13 minute* of the second half both
Mams wcca matahiag haskati and it «a*
during this period that Taylor trained his
eye on the basket and bombed away frt.m
the corner for 7 straight baskets.
Throughout the second half the Bean led
by Brown. Roy Bennet, Jerry Thruston
and Chip Coulter did a fine job at keeping
the Jaquan off the boards- With 9:35 left in
the game Mercer took the lead for good on
a free throw by Geary Taylor. Only
seconds Uter Taylor added two more free
throws and the Bean never relinquished
this lead. With 5:23 left in the game Jerry
Thruston, who scared 17 points, made a 3
point pUy which proved to be the spark of
a 7 point spurt which put the game out of
the reach of the Jaquan who seemed
pu2«led by the fine play of Mercer With
just under aminute left Roy BenneU made
a basket which upped Mercer's lead to 11
point* the largest difference of Ihe game.
The Bears received excellent
ballbandlingfrom Steve Hendrickson, who
passed for 6 assisb, and Joe Everette who
along with Taylor made a shambles of
South Alabama's desperation press in the
last five minfites of the game.
Mercer shot an-outsfpnding «.2 percent
from the field ia the second half which
permitted the Bean to finish the #ime
shooting 54.4 percent from the field for the

Mercer Baseball
Season Outlook
The Merca^ University BesebtU Beus
enter their second season of Division I
Baseball competition with tren
enthusiasm. Last year the Bears were IS­
IS against the toughest schedule in history.
Thig year's schedule promises to he even
better featuring ten opponents usually
found somewhere amoung the nation's top
IS. Heading the list are the Miami
Hurricanes, ranked No. 1 in the 1S74 final
poll. Top ten finishers Georgia Southern
and South Alahama wiU proivide iO
games. Florida State and new coach
Woody Woodward meet the Bears four
times. Ohio University, Michigan SUte,
Oemson, Auburn, Ga. Tecb, Western '
Michigan and Stetson .are the other
nationally ranked teams which give
Mercer one of the finest schedules in the
nation.
The Bears retain the. heart of last years
pitching staff which' compiled a floe 2.70
ERA. The pitdiers pitched well enough in
1074 to win many more games, hut the
Bears had difficulty scoring runs. The
addition of three outsUnding Middle Ga.
Jr. College players. Catcher Tiger ElgilT 1
B Uoyd Wherry and CF Cecil Pattersori,
along with the return of injured 3B Rohb
Mitchell should improve the Bears stuck
tremendously. Joe Pettini (SS) and Tim
aUtoQ (2B> both sUrters last season are
much improved, but freshman Buddy
Burke, a fine hitter who can play SS or 2B
will challenge for a sUrUng job at either
place. Freshman IF Carlos Reed and IB

bat going this season and currently beads
the fight for the-left field Job. Two
Freshmen who could Uke the jt>b are Sbaw
Maddox and Bobby'Rix. Maddox has been
particularly impressive with his bat. Cecil
Patferson, one of the nation’s premier
CF's can do it ail. He is the man Coach
CUude Smith and Coach Barry Myers feel
has Solved all the outfield problems. Coach
Smith says, "In 74 every ball that went to
the outfield OF was an adventure story.
This year ere can relax. Cecil really runs
them down and along with his good bat and
great speed he has really sUbilized our
outfield." Gopd hitter, Carl Discher has
looked good in right field. He is being
challenged by good freshmen Jay
Crabtree and Marc Connally.
The pitching should again be strong.
Four starters retum-Robert Yopp, John
Hart, Larry McCabe and Jim Rollins. All
pitched in '74. Newcomer Denzil Davis, a
workhorse at Gordon Jr. College last
season, gives the Bears another good
sUrter. Soph. Mike Phillips has improved
over his freshman year. Sem'or lefty Clyde
Patterson could be the bull pen ace the
Bears are looking for.-First base Lloyd
Wherry will pitch U needed.
Asst. Coach Barry Myers looks at the "TS
season this way. "We have improved
ourselves in all areas. We are better both
offensively and defensively. Our over all
team sp^ is much better. Most
imporUnt of all, this squad is comprised of
young men who have, all been winners in
Jr. College and High School. Wc had a good
fall and this has carried over into our preseason. We know how tough the schedule is
and we aren't kidding ourselves, but I've
seen lot of good ball dubs and this one can
play with any of them."
Bucks Defeat
Law I, 50-48
Feb. 13 The Hookers put oui OPP’s fire
in their basketball game last week, but not
before a minor quarrel emtitied both
besKhea with five seconds remaining in tbe
game. Tempers bad been growing to a
nnint over a great deal of unnecessary
fouling. Most of the players kept their cool,
though, and the referees got the matter
under control before any blows were
struck. Tbe flnal seconds ticked off, and
the Hookers came away with a 44-31
victory.
The first hab of the game. went
smoothly, with both teams taking their
time in setting up for the percentage shot.
Everyone was cold in the early going, but
Ibe Hookers held a tUght edge in
rebounding, and took the lead. The
shooting improved as Ibe half wore on,
especially tor the Hookers, who led 24-16 at
intermission.
The style of the game turned around in
the second half, as both teams began to run
with the ball. This change of pace resulted
in a lot of bad shots and an increase in the
number of fouU. The . OPP's took
advantage of this type of play with their
quicknesS, and they managed to lie the
score at 28 with 8:33 left on Ibe clock. From
here on, IS out of the final 19 poinU srere
made from tbe foul line. Eleven of these
free throws belonged to the Hookers,
including a technical on an OPP player
called after tbe previously described
quarrel.
High scorercin tbe game was the
Hooker's Russell, who' dropped in 13
pbinls. His leammste Lee followed him
with 11 points. Lindsey was tbe OPP's lop
scorer with 9 points.
In earlier games, ATO rooted SN 83-38,
and the Law 2 team sentenced the ATO 2
team to defeat with a 31-35 decision. SN,
behind 3318 at halftime, fell further and
further back as the second half
progressed. Unable to penetrate tbe
middle of Law 2's defense, they failed to
hit the outside shot consistently. ATO
turned SN turnovers, into points with
several successful fastbreaks.
