Marg Hendershot
Marg Hendershot believes the
locker :room is a private place, She
"wouldn't want male reporters in a
female room."
She remarked that the team .did
the sport an injustice "They should
be thrilled someone wants to inter-
view them," Ms, Hendershot is net.'
sure fining is the answer, saying it
is just going to make players more
angry and not open .to solutions."
She thinks players should respect
that a person of the opposite sex
may be there and they should be ..
mare subtle.
Ms. Hendershot went Aar to say
the players were wrong in what
they did and the dressing room
should be barred for everyone; With
a time and, place set up for inter-
views.
