W. E. Distler, an, ’31—0ur school concerts should, in my opinion, con- sist of music exemplifying college spirit, patriotic music, along with some popular classics, as have been given by some of the musical or~ ganizations in the past. Herman Myer, (1.33., ’33—Taking the viewpoint of one supplying the music at the concerts instead of one absorbing it, I should say that I prefer just exactly the type of music that the orchestra is playing, not too heavy nor too “jazzy." Raymond Zittenficlil, GE, ’32— My idea of a perfect concert is one that consists of a group of semi- classical numbers. This is about the only average between the pure classical and the jazzy. It brings out the percentage of real music that can be appreciated by the average person. That is, one that has only a small understanding of what lies in the mind of the com» poser. water Receives Coolidge Letter A personal letter of appreciation from Calvin Coolidge is the latest reward of Frank Oster, the ever- smiling Custodian of Buildings, in the pursuit of his favorite hobby. “E‘rank” also received a letter from Brigadier General Abel Davis, thanking him for a mounted scrap book history of the world war as revealed in posters, propaganda cir— culars, and neWsp'aper acccunts “Frank” sent quite a large pro- duction, a mounted magazine his- tory of Coolidge’s life to Mr. Cool- idge at his home in Northampton, Mass.

True, there have been paid athletes and there are some being paid at present. How can you stop this practice? You may with facul- ties, presidents, and athletic direc— tors who are honest. They who represent our great American col— leges are human. Here and there. dishonesty in agreement occurs, even in the sanctity of the halls of learning as well as in the bust- ness and social world. These breaches are punished when dis- covered. I doubt if in years past a scholarship for athletic ability only has been given to any individual by any of our leading universities. The entrance conditions and schol— arship demanded while in college have ever been upward. If an in- dividual qualifies by grades and ability to procure a scholarship, why discriminate against him if he be an athlete? Seldom has any university been implicated in pay- ing out of a- general fund money to hired athletes. Athletes have been loaned money out of a student loan fund in the same manner as to any other student. Should this not be? Jobs have been given to other stu~ dents. Should this be' abolished? Should the willingness to shed blood and sweat on the athletic field for one’s alma mater stigma— tize one as unfit and should there- fore the athlete be handicapped in every manner? If this..be the trend of things, then athletics will be only for the rich. The poor boy will have no chance to enjoy what eevry red blooded physically able and not efl’eminate boy wants to do. In the conference and in many other sim— ilar organizations the amount of loans to each athlete is reported. If a scholarship is awarded the amount of the scholarship and the names of. the committee who awarded the scholarship are re— ported. Ii? athletes are hired about the campus, the number hired, what their job is and how much they earndsrepoxted. I‘E..aih1etes. handle concessions at athletic events the money earned and names of the athletes are reported. All this is published and passed on by administrative heads of the re- spective colleges involved in the various organizations. If these dis— pcnsations are abused they may be quickly discovered and corrected. And they are. The abuse oi! ama— teurism is seldom found in the halls of learning but rather with alumni bodies and the betting business man. Alumni bodies and boosting busi- ness men organizations sometimes raise so called slush funds for the sole purpose oi! inducing good ath- letes to enter some college. This is wrong. But if some zealous alumni wishes to send to school a. bright boy who is poor and cannot afford to go to college, is this wrong? Sup— posing the boy is an athlete; should that prevent the good intentions of an alumnus from being carried out? Yet the universities in the conference are pledged not to use any athlete if it can be proved he has been subsidized by anyone di— rectly connected with the institu— tion or by anyone who is not direct— ly connected with the university. Is this fair? It is a stringent rule and does not work well for the poor lad who Heavens knows has enough to contend with working his way through college in any capacity. There is too much emotion, too much criticism and too much irra— tional conduct displayed by those who are not in possession of the facts. If the “muck raking” would cease by those most interested in filling newspaper space with what is termed news and more emphasis be placed on all the good deeds and the good benefits derived from not only our American sports but in our business and social lives we would be better citizens. It would work for the well being of the whole, community. As long as our scholastic stand- ards are kept up by honest admin~ istrators; invlolators be punished by sister universities and the uni- versities themselves keep their skirts clear of subsidizing athletes, our American scheme of Athletics ,ior the student bodies has nothing to. fear.
