SGA Proposes Booster Club
By BARBARA BURCH A boosters club is currently
being planned by the student government association (SGA), to promote athletic tradition at Madison, ac- cording to SGA president John Lounsbury.
According to Lounsbury, Madison athletics have grown too large and too quickly, not allowing for the growth of a sports tradition. Presently, the only kind of enthusiasm shown at basketball games is the banging together of wooden blocks by the crowd, which was picked up from Old Dominion University. "When Old Dominion comes to Madison this year, we don't want to be sitting there using their gimmick," Lounsbury said.

Lounsbury said that possible pre-game parties could be scheduled at the student union to promote enthusiasm about the games.

Commission Asks Revision Public Speaker Results
(Continued from page 1) It seems the 'consent' phrase defines the
'force' phrase, and provides for the cir- cumstances when a victim is terrorized with a knife or physical harm, and chooses not to resist because of fear.
But, as illustrated in a case that is stated in the 'force' stipulation, the second phrase, doesn't protect women who are not wounded in a rape. The case used to illustrate the code said that the woman plaintiff had one bruise on each knee after the alleged assault. She testified that the man had pinned her against the seat of a car. However, the defendant was found not guilty.
And what about a situation in which a woman is so frightened that she can't move, or she goes into shock. Is this consent?
Rape is difficult to define - each situation has to be taken individually and rape laws must be flexible enough to cover all situations.
The Fairfax County Commission on Women is asking the 1976 Virginia Assembly in January to direct the Virginia State Crime Commission to study rape and sexual assault statutes in Virginia. The women themselves are not going to suggest any changes to the Assembly, according to Pam McCoach, chairwoman of the committee, although they have an idea of what needs to be done.
For instance, McCoach does know that most
women who are raped do not even report the crime -- for fear of humiliation from publicity
and the authorities. Of the rape cases that do go to court, less than half of the defendants are prosecuted. Of the ones who go to jail, most serve less than one-fourth of their term, ac- cording to McCoach.
McCoach also cited a recent case involving a 16-year old deaf and dumb girl who was assaulted at a Rehabilitation Center by a school employee. The employee was acquitted because he thought the girl was consenting, since she did not scream. McCoach cited this example to emphasize that the statues for handicapped and mentally ill women must be revised.
This year, the Fairfax County Commission on Women hopes to receive enough mail in support of the study to influence the legislators that there is a need for changes in the laws.
Last year, the General Assembly voted down a move to study the rape statutes, because they said there was "insufficient need and interest."
' Letters in support of the study can be sent to the Fairfax County Commission on Women, PO Box 786, Springfield, VA 22150 or can be sent through the campus mail to Donna Cox, PO Bdx 667 by Thursday.

This elimination round was followed by a semi-finalist round, from which eight semi- finalists advanced to the finals. Each student delivered the same speech used in the semi-final round.
Judges for the first two rounds included com- munication arts department faculty members.

Dillard Voted MVP:
Dukes Win Tournament By WADE STARLING
Plagued by poor shooting and sloppy ball-handling throughout the game, the Madison College basketball team came from behind in the second half to down Christian Brothers College 76-66 Friday night, as Madison won their second straight Madison Inivtational Tournament.
The Dukes advanced to the finals Friday night by downing Davis and Elkins College 88-73. In the con- solation game, Davis and Elkins downed Susquehanna to take thrid place in the tournament.
Madison took a quick 8-0 lead, and appeared pn their way to an easy victory. But Christian Brothers fought back, and the half time score was tied 37-37.
Christian Brothers started the second half scoring with a jump shot from center Gary Cowens to take a 39-37 lead. Pat Dosh then hit on two free throws to tie the game and, with 17:05 left, Dosh again scored on a fast break pass from Sherman Dillard to take a 45-39 lead.
But their lead again did not last long. Forward Pat Kaine hit a jumper to tie the game for Christian Brothers and, with 11:58 remaining, John Kuntz hit two foul shots to give Christian Brothers a 4947 lead.
Madison fought back and, with 8:17 left in the game, center John Cadman scored and was fouled, and his successful free throw gave the Dukes the lead for good at 57- 55.
The Dukes were hurt by poor shooting throughout the game. They hit for only 20 of 62 shots for 32.3 percent.

They also had a hard time handling the ball, as they committed 14 turnovers.
"We played good enough to win," said Madison coach Lou Campanelli afterwards. "And that's the name of the game."
Campanelli admitted the Dukes did not play their best basketball, but added that he didn't feel he had to make excuses.
"It all evens out," he said. "You don't have to be em- barrassed when you win."
Controversy arose before the game as guard Leon Baker was suspended in- definitely from the team. The suspension could mean that Baker will play no more this season. Baker was- played sparingly in the first half of Friday's game, but was dressed in street clothes during the second half. He was suspended Saturday for disciplinary reasons resulting from an exchange of words between Campanelli, assistant coach John Thur- ston, and Baker during halftime Friday night.
Sherman Dillard, who was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player for the second year in a row, led the

Dukes Saturday with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Strong games were also turned in by forwards David Correll and Pat Dosh, who each had 17 points. In addition, Correll had 12 rebounds to go along with Dosh's 11.
The Dukes shot better Friday night against Davis and Elkins, but were still hurt by careless ball-handling. They shot for 50.7 per cent, but turned the ball over 20 times.
Dillard, who is averaging just under 30 points a game, was again high scorer with 26 points. Correll was next for the Dukes with 18.
Named to the all- tournament team were Dillard, Correll, and Joey Pfahler for Madison. Other members were Henry Haeger, from Christian Brothers, and Kerry Magee and Miles McCollum for Davis and Elkins.
.Tonight the Dukes host East TennessemState at 8:00, in a game which should be a stern test to the Dukes 4-0 record. East Tennessee is a very big and aggressive team, and should play a very physical game.

The Madison College women's basketball team stayed undefeated Friday night with a 67-63 overtime win over Salisbury State.
Katherine Johnson scored 30 points and pulled down 12 rebounds for the Duchesses, while Mindy Childress and Pat Reynolds scored 12 and 10 points respectively.
Madison had a runaway game with Frostburg Wed- nesday, as they won 80-38. The Duchesses trailed 8-7 with five minutes gone in the game, but Mindy Childress scored a minute later and the
Duchesses were never threatened again. With about five minutes to go in the first half, Madison went on a scoring spree of 14 unan- swered points. Katherine Johnson scored eight of her 19 points during this three minute period with three field goals and two free throws. This put Frostburg out of striking range for good.
Leading scorers for the Duchesses were Katherine Johnson, with 19 points and Mindy Childress, with 14. Mindy Childress led the way in rebounds with 12.
