Sports at SFC

Dear Editor:

(In response to last week’s Lazer Speaks.) I was a bit surprised that Lou Pastina did not make more of an issue about St. Francis College dropping their entire sports program. He said it was disheartening, however to me it may turn out to be disastrous for the school. Not only will student athletes on scholarship no longer have a team to play on, but physical fitness is an important part of school life. I attended Brooklyn College, where I was on the varsity swim team for four years. We swam against SFC and I made many friends on their team. I hope I am wrong, but I fear that the school cannot continue to exist without a sports program, not to mention any sort of athletic facility where students can work out on their own.
