Spectators begin
own boxing matdi
at 11th Fight Night
By Tami Tate
Reporter
The audience at the 11th annual
Fight Night, sponsored by the Sigma
Phi Epsilon f raternity, was treated to
an extra dose of jabs and punches in
the third round of the fraternity di
vision heavyweight championship
when two overzealous spectators be
gan their own boxing match.
Emotions and tempers were
strong as the crowd chanted for
their favorite fighters, but when the
dust settled and the chants ceased,
two teams emerged victorious — the
Texas A&M Boxing Club white team
in the open division and the Kappa
Alpha-Phi Delta Theta team in the
f raternity division.
Six teams fought in the open divi
sion and eight teams fought in the
fraternity envision, said Don Saus-
tad, Fight Night chairman.
Each team consisted of four or
five people in live different weight
categories. Individual fighters re
ceived trophies for first and second
places and teams received trophies
for f irst, second and third places.
The open division featherweight
champion, Jery Valle, has fought in
Fight Night for three years and has
won twice. The senior aerospace en
gineering major is a member of the
boxing club white team.
“This year’s competition was
tough and better in comparison to
last year’s Fight Night,” Valle said.
Bart Askew, the fraternity light
weight division runner-up and a
member of the Beta Theta Pi team,
said he had never participated in
Fight Night before.
“I’ve never fought before, but I
enjoyed it,” fie said. “It made me feel
good to fight — like 1 was accom
plishing something to be able to
fight and win.”
Preliminary fights began Friday
and final matches concluded Satur
day at about 12:30 a.m.
Although Fight Night lasts only
two days for spectators, it is a year
long activity for Sigma Phi Epsilon,
which sponsors the event.
Saustad is in charge of advertis
ing, boxing equipment, health and
general crowd liability insurance, fa
cility reservations and team organ
zation. He also makes sure food
drinks and medical assistance an
provided at Fight Night.

safety.
Dave Holland, emergency medl
i al tec hnician, said, “We are here!*
anyone who gets knocked out«
who needs first aid. We haveoxygei
and a first aid kit. We also call an an
bul.uue if it is necessary.”
1 iolland said there were nomajo;
injuries — just a few bloody noses.
“The reason no one gets hum
because the referees are so good,'k
said. “ i hey won’t allow the fights
continue it someone is hurt.”
Saustad said one expense Sig®
Phi Epsilon did not have this yea
was alcohol liability insurance bt
cause its national organizatioi
doesn’t allow it to serve alcohol J
f raternity functions.
Although most spectators sail
they would like to drink at Figkl
Night, the lack of alcohol didni
seem to hurt ticket sales or atten
dance, which totaled about 2,600(or
both nights.
Bryan Vanderpool, Fight Nigh
ring chairman, said, “We wereonk
anticipating 500 people each nigh
hut 1,400 came Friday night. I wan
little surprised that crowd pariio
pat ion was so good due to the fad
that we couldn’t sell beer, butldont
think beer made a big differenced!
attendance.”
But Jay Clark, a senior civil engi'
neer major, said lie wanted to drill!
beer at Fight Night.
“1 think Fight Night is still to
but it would be nice to stand arod
and watch my buddies fight with)
cold beer in my hand,” he said.
Other attractions at Fight Nigh
included pillow fights by sorort'
teams and a tae kwon do exhibition
The Kappa Kappa Gamma leaf
won the pillow fight championshf
for the second year.
Vicky Russell, an exercise technol
ogy major, said, “I volunteered bo-
cause I am a freshman and didni
know what to expect. It was grd
and I had a Jot of run.”
Concrete counterweights
lead to crane accident
DALLAS (AP) — Massive con
crete blocks atop a construction
crane apparently swung out of con
trol and toppled the structure, kill
ing three workmen and injuring its
operator, federal safety officials
said.
The blocks dragged the 12-story
metal structure to the ground Satur
day, crushing cars and trucks. The
three workers fell from the boom of
the crane.
“What came down first was that
counterweignt, sain U.b. Occup)'
tional Safety and Health Admit
nation area director Jim Knorpf
“When you turn the crane, if they 1 *
(out of balance), the centrih#
force puts a great strain on the strut-
lure.”
The blocks weiglt between dO# 1
and 70,000 pounds and serve as 1
counterweight on the shorter, to*
end of the crane arm, officials
Removal of an 80-foot segment fro®
the arm’s front end caused the strut
true to become unbalanced.
