What is lacking in the Sport's Clubs at V.U.C.? In the last two years it has become more and more noticable that students are looking outside the college for their recreation. This has become very noticable in the field of Rugby. Those regular attenders at the Park will tell you that on some Saturdays, out of the sixty players there at least six or seven are V.U.C. students. This does not help our Rugby Club at all. This percentage of V.U.C. types in other Rugby teams is even more noticable in the lower grades. Why does this happen? Other Sports Clubs in the college notice the same thing. Is there something lacking in our own clubs? In the U.S.A., many people go to Varsity merely for the honour of playing sport for the varsity. We do not suggest that this should be the case here but feel that a certain enthusiasm for Varsity Sports Clubs should be shown.

If those people who play for outside bodies in preference to V.U.C. and have strong reasons for doing so, would write a letter to the Sport's Editor and state those reasons we would be very greatful as we want to know what is causing this lack of esprit de corps.
