Well the "borne ice" ad-
vantage was all for nought.
Canterbury steamed past us
by over 40 points to take thr
first annual Canterbury vs
Seaforth Horne and Roma
Challenge. The challenge is
based on the qrota point
system with
ing 4 tea
into the
dub send -
of 4 men each
ntest. Though your
score does matter. the point
system makes a poor hole
less damaging. Everyone re-
ceives 1 point for a bogey. 2
fee a par, 4 fo? a birdie and 8
for an e.a,g/e. You add up your
points than add your handi-
cap. The team with the
highest point total is the
winner. Steven Bennett as-
sistant pro at the Canterbury
Country Club in Sarnia and a
Seaforth native was respen-
sible for organizing the
match. On July 13 it was
played in Sarnia and last
Saturday in Seaforth. After
the golf eeetyoze enjnyed a
delitious steak barbecue.
High mat of the day was Rob
Harwood of Sarnia with 53
points. The high 2 man team
ci one from each club drawn
together was composed of Al
Night of Seaforth and Bob
Miller of Sarnia. A new wail
plaque was made for the
occasion and it looks like it
will be an annual event.
On Thursday night Bill
Walsh (34) and Marc Robinet
(41) were drawn together and
won Men's Night by a cut of
the cards over Cam Doig and
Gerard Meidinger. Walsh
and Robinet are on top of the
leader board once again.
'There's only a 'few men's
nights left before the big
bash so be sure to come opt
and join the fun.

The aim of LHZRA is to
encourage particapation in
swimming. The point system
of 7,5,4,3,2,1 for first to sixth
place emphasizes this partic-
ipation. For example Gcider-
ich had about 50 swimmers
participating and con-
sequently did very well with
team points. Vanastra needs
more Novice racers (18 years
of age and under.) Practices
are Monday 4:30 to 5:00
p.m.; Wednesday 4:30 to
5:00 p.m. and Thursday 4:30
to 5:30 p.m.

Freedom to know
The XXII Summer Olympics opened
Saturday in Moscow. but without the
athletes from • 36 ceuntries. including
Canada and the United States.
These athletes were not present due to
the American -instigated Olympic boycott.
Th protest of the Soviet invasion of
Afghanistan last December. The boycott
situation has been in the news since
January. as anyone who reads a newspaper,
listens to the radio or watches television
well knows. But a new boycott has
appeared.
If our athletes are banned from compet-
ing in the games, should our news media
report on the event? At least one Canadian
daily newspaper thinks not, and has
stasped publicatien of Olympic results.
But is this right?
Is it right to stop publication of facts
which are important to sports enthusiasts
throughout the world? Is it fair to deprive
our athletes of the opportunity to know how
their foreign counterparts are faring in
what should be the greatest exhibition of
amateur sports in the world. after denying
theirs the chance to compete themselves?
I say no.
The media cannot suspend repiorting an
event merely because the event isn't
supported by the government. If the
Olympic boycott b1d not occurred:1such
suspension would have been considered.
let alone instituted. And the countries
boycotting the Games are doing so under
the insitnictions of their governments.
This is not to condone or condemn the
Olympic boycott. It is an unfortunate and
controversial dilemma. 1 believe that in
hindsight we will realize that it was a
necessary evil. However, one of the
desired results of such a boycott, to stir up
public concern over a dangerous military
action by a potentially (?) hostile country.
will be lost if the Gimes are not reported,
along with tlie reminder that our athletes
are not taking part.
The Games are news, both in the world
of sports and in politics. The integrity of
the media will be damaged if it refuses to
pub)ish important news. I'm sure the
Soviets won't mind.
'A move such as thie means basically that
the involved party is taking a politic -al
stand. If so, can it be trusted to report
without bias. from both, or all, views?
Hardly. A simple analogy would be to stop
reporting news from a country because it
isn't recognized by the government. In this
ease, publications from the United States
would not have contained any news from
China. not recognized officially until
recently, for more than 30 years. A lot
could have happened in those 30 years
under this condition.
It has been a common practice in the
Soviet Union to withhold information which
the government doesn't want the publin to
know. Not reporting 'a major event for
political reasons, rather than for national
security. is the same thing. We cannot
allow this to happen, or we will be taking a
step away from freedom in the direction of
the Russian way of life.
And if sports and politics don't mix. as
many people believe idealistically, why
then did we Canadians make such a friss
over Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau's
alleged mishandling of Olympic funds in
1 976 ?
No, we should not stop reporting the
Olympics in support of the boycott. We'
have guaranteed freedom of the press...
now let's guarantee freedom of the people
to know.
