Sports Comment Students question sports importance it Gibson Herald While this week Sports Comment might digress somewhatfronthc ithleticfare I mleresling experience last ifternoon tut I readers would like to share Ben Rose of s Sheridan College lism hid asked me to address some first and second year students enrolled in the journalism course I must 1 didn really know what expect or ly whit they expected me but as it turned out satisfying afternoon for all concerned Ihe opinion thai one should enter situations with the view hat there is something how tnvnl Wednesday session illowed me an opportunity luel a youthful perspective on news in general and sports in parlicuhr and sever opinions it were expressed were refreshing to say the The first skull session was with yeir journalism and they quite naturilly were concerned such matters as fimnenl considerations work loads responsibilities ind opportunity for idv ment What was note worthy however about the meeting with Ihe second students wis that they were very concerned about Ihe stability made il clear that they were investigating all aspects of the journalistic world before taking first all important step Phis I feci is a reflection of he uncertainty the state of our economy but it does demonstrate students and in his case journalism students arc that all is not roses in the working world and that decisions be very carefully indeed Tne second session was with a of first year students who hid chosen as an elective While Ihe format employed was thit of on interview with lhestudcnls taking on the role of reporter I turned the questions around ind redirected them back to the The consensus of opinion wis hat athletes as a whole are coddled overpaid and receive much more publicity lhan they truly deserve One I id however disagreed with this view and felt that athletes should receive more money and his solution would solve our international athletic problems It was his opinion thai in order to ittracl more young Canadians into ihe field money should be poured into athletics and that lucrative salaries should be available once pinnacle of sporting success wis reachedto as an incentive Sir ingcly enough is one student pointed out this is exactly whit is happening now andinnowiy s amateur ivours in the international forum improved to he point of being noteworthy A young female student was of the opinion that high school athletes and she used her brothers as an example received virtually a free ride through school and exited little In terms benefits than they hid when they entered Ihe secondary school rouie Perhaps these students with their apparent disali for the athletic scene were exceptions However it is ious hat there were some problems in Canadian sports that the students saw fit to comment upon and for the most part much of the criticism was led To improve the image of sports in Canada is apparent that Ihcre must be a to basics A re vimping of the sports philosophy and actual physical programs and it must be done at a very basic and early level The youngsters arc Ihe ones that arc being made suffer because of inadequate programs and quite naturally their disatisfaction percolates outward as they grow older nowadays they won be satisfied with half measures Tins Is where improvement this Is where the biggest dividends will be found Nil Miner to leid
