_me perfectly. You get what I mean, and if the office should ever be vacant
the nomination should be from the President of the United Statese

College presidents are talking adeat what they are going te do for the
G. I, Joes and Janese They have had meetings by the score for the rehabili- -
tation of returning veterans, but they have not done one thing, these college
and university presidents, in rehabilitating collegiate athletics, the thing
that comes closer to the college students * life than most “eae else in
his college day se

If you need any fuetiner elaboration you cancall mee I am putting the ei
responsibility where it belongs, and I am not blaming the faculty repres-
entativese They are deans and administrators who have a full-time job, and
it is just as asinine to expect these men who handle full-time jobs to run
one of the most important functions on spare time as it would be for a board
of directors of a big corporation to hire some one of the vice presidents
to outline the policy for the whole corporation and not pay him anything for
it or make much allowance for his time consumed in doing this important job.
While they say athletics are a department of a university, it is the only 3
thing in a university where the entire student body will stand en masse time
after time singing their alma mater and paying homage to — university.
Can you think of anything else like it?

The faculty representatives are college professors most of whem do not
understand the business or the mechanics of runnihg a great university athletic
plant, and yet are making the laws and administering them, and allowing the
athletic director to be only a business agent because he neither makes the
laws nor enforces them. This director of athletics should be the dean of
athletics, and they should give him full responsibility and hold him account-
able to the same degree that they give him authority. He and the other
athletic directers should be the deans who make these laws and administer
them, Then with the full responsibility on their shoulders there should be
‘no question but what ‘they would protect the good name of intercollegiate
athletics.

It is still the horse-and-buggy-deys in athletics so far as the college
presidents are concerned. It is the day before the invasion of the Ruhr.
But something is going to happen, mark my wordse And the people who are, or
will be at fault, are the ones who close their eyes to this thing that is
apparent to everyone. George Marshall, the owner of the Washington Redskins,
says the professional teams admit that they pay their players, but the
universities and colleges hypocritically deny that they doe I am not against
scholarships or dividends openly arrived at and lived up to, but what we are
facing today is the fact that some schools pay $45. a month and books; some
pay $75. and books; some pay board, room, tuition and books; and on upe The
commissioner would stabilize things and this hypocrisy that is practiced now
would be dealt with summarily.
