Students make fact-finding
tour of Baylor Foundation
Four Samford students and
two administration officials
made a trip to Baylor
University in Waco, Texas, this
past weekend on a fact-finding
tour concerning the Baylor
Student Foundation, and the
feasibility of such a program at
Samford.
Representing Samford were
students Andy Bailey, Dan
Brooks, Jan Wilson, and
Nancey Clay Gilbert. The
group was accompanied by
Wes Spiegel of University
Relations and H. Evan Zeiger,
Vice-President for Financial
Affairs.
The Baylor Student Foun¬
dation is composed of 63
students, primarily juniors and
seniors, which are divided into
Down the stretch —
committees. The Foundation
works to better the university
through such programs as
scholarships, student
recruitment, public relations,
and activities for the students.
In addition, those studerit on
the Foundation develop their
leadership capabilities and feel
a sense of achievement, as well
as being brought closer to the
administrators and alumni.
As it might apply to Sam¬
ford, Mr. Spiegel saw it as
“dealing with alumni and the
public, exposing the campus to
its many publics and con¬
stituencies. It would give
people a chance to know more
about Samford University and
what it's doing in the way of
providing an education.”
Bulldogs prove they belong
As it heads down the home
stretch, Samford University
proved indeed last week that
it belongs in the University
Division as it knocked-off
highly touted Tennessee at
Chattanooga and played one
whale of a ball game against
Southern Illinois.
Chattanooga came into
Seibert Hall last Thursday
rated the No. 2 team in the
College Division poll, but the
Bulldogs threw-in over 71
percent of thier shots in the
first half to build up a lead
that the Mocs couldn’t
overcome. The Dogs held on
to win by ten, 87-77.
One big reason that the
Bulldogs played so well was
Randy Morgan-6’9” big to be
exact. Morgan had 37 points
in his evening’s work, and hit
on a perfect 15 of 15 from the
field.
Morgan was aided by
Dwayne Barnett with 14
points and a game-high 13
rebounds, Brian Strohm with
11 points and rebounds, and
Al Walter with 15 points.
The Mocs tried to make it
close in the second half as
they went on a spree that saw
them outscore the Dogs 22-3,
but the 30 point cushion that
the Dogs had built-up
beforehand protected the
win.
Saturday night at the
Municipal Auditorium, the
Dogs had to settle for another
one of those so close yet so far
away games. In the end it
was 67-63, Southern Illinois.
What could be more crucial
for the Dogs than this 18th
loss is the possibility of losing
Randy Morgan for the
remainder of the season.
Morgan’s knee gave away on
him shortly into the second
half. More on this later.
Samford was in the thick of
things all evening, with the
biggest Southern lead only
ten points.
Aftr trailing 41-36 at the
halfway mark, Samford
pulled to a 57-57 tie midway in
the second half and again to
61-59 with a little over a
minute left, but that was all.
At this latter point Southern’s
big Joe Meriweather made a
three-point play that pretty
well put it on ice. If this
didn’t, three free throws in
the final 25 seconds did.
Morgan left the game with
20 points, which was tops for
his team. Stan Crawford had
11, Dwayne Barnett and Al
Walter had 10.
Glenn had 16 and
Meriweather 15 for the
visitors. Big Mr.
Meriweather also pulled. 14
rebounds during the evening.
Coach Ron Harris called
Southern Illinois ’’one of the
better ball clubs in the
country”, and predicted that
they would probably make
