"New Calls for New Balls" Starts: "Figures show that competitive sports are attracting more students than ever. And the growth is not just in the traditional team sports - there's been an explosion in minority and womens sports too says Jennifer Currie" important excerpt : . . . BUSA hopes to add sports such as Ultimate frisbee and American Football to its repetoire in the near future. . . . the article later quotes Nathan Homer the BUSA Student Vice Chair I assume that this may come from him. I think the BUF should follow this up. I know there has been considerable argument in the past about the pros and cons of BUSA affiliation. There is no doubt in my mind that it would be a step forward to more widespread recognition of our sport. I would assume that this should really be discussed on the student list. maybe someone can forward it to the list. stig red 14
