Pep Organizations Lose Support of Athletic Staffs
Dr. Allen Explains Missouri Valley Coach's Reasons for Refusing Their Aid
Maintaining that pep organizations in general are guilty of not living up to the purposes for which they were created is an important punishment to the athletic departments which originally sponsored them, Dr. F. C. Allen today explained why support has been withdrawn from the pep organizations of the Missouri volleyball team.
are move is no idea of the local athletic office. Feeling grew almost simultaneously against sponsoring such organizations all over the valley, and crystallized in a resolution to withdraw all athletic department support from the penn clubs at the Des Moines Athletic Association and the Des Moines Athletic Association last December. The new rule is binding on all schools in the conference.
"The inside story of our dealings with the pop organizations has been one of disorganization and lack of efficiency on their part," said Doctor David F. Spencer, director of the group's struggle to help, but have failed to accomplish without too much supervision the things they were supposed to do, and the result has been a scandal. "Leading organization, their stunts have often been mediocre, conceived as they were at the eleventh hour, and the athletic departments of the valley have been rehabilitated clubs wn they had no authority to官. The results of such lack of central purpose and control have been so unsatisfactory to us to cause the valley association to show all support from the pop clubs."
Feeling, also, that the pop groups were unsurprising a place which belonged to a more typical University organization—the band—was another reason for the move. Doctor Allen pointed out, in the future, that plays a larger part in the entertainment between schools at football games.
Complimentary tickets will now be issued only to members of the University bands, and the cheer leaders. Work which was formally assigned to K. U. Games, such as selling programs, pennants and buttons, will now be turned over to individuals on the basis of their ability to sell. Members of the pop organization as individuals, but organizations will. Athletes in branches of sport other than football, and especially those needing work to keep them in school, will be favoured to do the work as others.
Outsiders who know nothing of the inside story of the pep organizations may feel that an essential part of a football game is the effort to play for the pep stunts is withdrawn, Doctor Allen explained, but he thinks that more efficient work and perhaps better entertainment can be arranged under the new organization.
At home games, the pep clubs may from time to time be allowed to put on stunts, and in such a case the athletic department will allow them to beforehand, the organization must give a plan and an estimated cost of the stunt to be presented. However, these stunts will not be allowed until they are given and no complimentary tickets or travel expenses will now be given to the pep groups.
Speculating as to the effect of the new ruling on the pep organizations that have been insured, Doctor Allen Kui Kui and Jay Jones, Doctor Allen does not think that it will tend to illuminate them if they see their purpose in its true light. It was certain that the organization should pay the way and be responsible for such large groups, but If they can continue their work in a smaller, more organized, and self-sufficient way they should not continue to thrive. Doctor Allen concluded.
Forrest Calvin, c'29, president of the Ku Kuo, laid a petition behind the Men's Student Council Wednesday night asking its aid in helping the pep organization the men support. Authorization to give a varsity dance was suggested as one means. No action was taken by the Council at the time.
