Dear Dr. Allen:

Mr. W. A, Dill, director of the K.U.

News Bureau, has advised us that you will write

for THE ROTARIAN on the affirmative side of the
question "Should College Athletes be Subsidized?".
This is, of course, gratifying to us, for it is a
guestion which is very much in the minds of those
interested in college sports and this group includes
a good percentage of Rotarians in the United States. |

It is our plan to present this debate in
the October ROTARIAN, The issue comes out the
latter vart of September, just as the football season
is getting under way. Major John L. Griffith, Com-
missioner of Athletics in the Big Ten, has just sub-
mitted an outline of the negative side of the question,
and I am sure that it promises to be an interesting
feature. Of course, we want to make it a real debate,
so a complete coverage of points in favor of subsidizing,
that is, so far as the space devoted to the subject will
permit, will be clarifying, I am sure, to our readers.
Mr. Dill, in his letter of July 2lst, briefly outlined
some of the points you will cover, These seem Satis-—
factory.

| The article should run approximately 2,000
words in length. As an honorarium, we shall be glad
to send you our check for $60.00.

If there are any questions, do not hesitate
to get in touch with us. We should like very much to
received the article by August 15, but if that will

crowd you too much, we can extend the deadline to August 20.

As a former member of the Lawrence Rotary Club,
I know you are familiar with our publication, However, I
am enclosing a little booklet entitled "Toward a Clarified
Public Opinion" which lists some of the debates we have pre-
