Vincent Weinbauer and Charlie Gray, Core Staff, reporter

The St. Louis U. High Racquetball team traveled to Portland, Ore. last weekend to compete for their 16th overall and 12th consecutive National Championship. SLUH brought 28 players, but after a loss at state, Nationals would be an uphill battle against Kirkwood’s team of 41. Would SLUH have enough skill to continue their Nationals win streak, even in the face of a larger team?

Letter to the Editor: Stop using the "Tomahawk Chop" cheer at athletic events
  • Opinion

To the editors:

I have had occasion to attend several basketball games this season, and most of the hockey team’s run to the Challenge Cup final match. Congratulations to both of those teams for their successful seasons this winter. I have been impressed over and over again by the spirit and class shown by our fans. One cheer sticks out though, and anyone who’s seen me frantically trying to silence it knows what I’m talking about.  I want to explain why I believe SLUH fans should not cheer the “tomahawk chop.”
