ItootlfgRing Kiel", too. is mr
vlr the elory of having conceived this
S.h ffiortJnlSy for vm .however, the sys
!. lirfl been in operation for several years.
Sher eolKS Sveven beat Mr. Ooodwia to
the idea, . . .
"You say that 'students who lack athletic
nrowei are being pushed out of the picture.'
I defy you to prove that," he continues, e
must amUe at Mr. Goodwin', gallant defiance,
fr S!oXhoCe"i : is .uite evident that
if the only effort made by the university to
draw new material here is superintended by
the IthMio department, then students who are
short of athletic ability are not receiving
proper attention. Hence, with apologies to
Sr. Goodwin, they are being pushed out of
tb6 Knot necessary for us to present proof
that the athletic department has converted men
from other mates to this university. We have
no axe to grind with the athletic department.
Our objection is to the university's apparent
willingness to let that department do all of the
promoting.
As for Mr. Rowland's entertaining treat
ise. w fear that its criticism contains more
than a grain of truth. Coaches and athletic
department are placed in an embarrassing
position, it ia true. They seem to be the vie
tim of an over-sharpened public taste tor
physical combat. .
Probably Mr. Rowland, having been both
an athlete and a coach, is better qualified to
judge this situation than an unlettered editor.
Since he mentions coaches, however, wc cite
U. X. Bible as our idea of an excellent mentor.
He enters into his outlined work with the right
spirjt but he does not confine his activity to
th football field. He is a good Cornhuskcr.
Why do not faculty members realize that stu
dents want them to be loyal Nebraskans out
side the classroom? They might enjoy a foot
ball rally without branding themselves as mis
guided pedagogues, paddling their canoes
along in the glorious wake of athletics.
All in all, athletics seem to be better de
veloped than scholarship from a standpoint of
promotion and ambition. That is to be ex
pected, for their work is competitive.
Nebraska is a square school. We feel that
athletics are over-emphasized, but the blame
for this condition cannot be plastered on the
athletic department, the coaching staff or the
athletes themselves. Public tasto demands ath
letics sport writers make little tin gods out
of football players. We are on the toboggon
of brawn and no athletic department could
be expected to step off and let the rest of the
world go by.
Since this is true, conscientious effort must
be made to bring good students to Nebraska,
or this will be a one-sided university.

To the Editor:
Every campus, it seems, is infected to a
rertain aegree with would-be refoniu-r. A
lvn which everyone knows and very few pay
attention to. As long as you have allied
youielf with this radical element, Mr. Editor,
there is one favor that I would ask of you.
Get the facts straight, so that you will know
what you are talking about and not make so
many mrs-statements, That's fair, isn't it!
I hav msds no attsmpt to show that ath

no legitimats mson why I should roske such

that athletics should ever come before schol

Rack tt.
To the Editor:
Just because I attend the University of Ne
braska and because J take my meals at one of
the Greek houses and because with the- morn
ing prunes we receive a copy of The Daily e
braskan and bees'iise the editorial page is some
times less nauseating than the rest of the sheet ;
for these reasons 1 am aware of a verbal com
bat which has stopped pas encore. And w hy
shouldn't I add to the rubbish that has already
been written pro and con.
It seems that it'spen season on athletes
and coaches hereabouts. Because 1 have nt va
rious times presumed to be each but at present
am neither it behooves me to suhmit my htimlile
and sympathetic observations about my broth
ers. May no one take offense, for my para
graphs are directed toward no one and I have
no school in mind except that it must he some
other than the University of Nebraska, h or the
situation is the same at other places mid we
may see it better from afar off. So select in
your imagination some other eollege of which
you know and you may be sure that 1 too have
it in mind.
Then read my letter for its poetical worth.
First of all coaching is not a profession,
not even a job. It is only a racket. Any coach
ing staff nobly tries to elevate their modus
operandi to decency and respectability, but
neither decency nor respectability may be at
tained by a coach without difficulty. If he
either outright, or secretly, hires players then
the moralists will damn him to the depths. As
an opposite policy he nia,y refuse to attempt,
legitimately or otherwise, to secure promising
players. If he docs this his team will atrophy
and he will be forced to sell insurance, or tench
school, or take up aviation, (and many conches
have taken this alternative).
As a further alternative the coach mny try
in a perfectly respectable manner to secure johs
for his team so they will come to the dear old
alma mater that is paj ing him his ten thousand
a year or whatever it is. It is the exceedingly
rare coach who will succeed at this approach
for an athlete veritably has no time for an out
side job and people don't enjoy paying money
for labor that is not well done. And too, if
a coach or a coaching staff succeed in placing
even a few of their proteges then all of the
academic wing deride them for emphasizing
things baser than Phi Beta Kappa.
If the P. B. K.'s have any brains, which is
doubtful, then they should have no trouble in
securing more advantageous employment, than
can be mastered by the alleged dumb athlete.
But really the athletes are not dumb. Thev
don't even have low I. Q's. whatever that is.
Thoy tare only mediocre, just as arc their fel
lows, the P. B. K'h. The reason the athlete
seems dumb is due to the fact that our curious
American state of affairs throws one who is
athletically inclined into an enmeshing situation
which ironically inflicts upon him a set of pro
longed adolescent roles and attitudes which
must be lived and worn constantly 65 days and
nights of the year. The difference botu 'een the
athlete and yourself or myself is that, we only
put on our sets of adolescent roles and manner
isms on days of the big, glorious, gory combats.
Isn't it fun to live out once a week intensively
through projection and identification with those
wonderful heroes all of the thrills and lofty
grandeur of sublime heroism, denied iih in our
everyday mundane existence.
And the coach is the greatest of all the he
roes, and becauso of this we must condemn him
the most severely. For as we identify ourselves
with him, we unconsciously condemn ourselves
for having made such a presumptions ego eleva
tion. And to himself the coach is also a Jehovah
unknowingly. That is why he may always reach
hut never grasp. He is destined never to find
reality. Then there is the typical faculty idealist
from the ranks of the academic cult. The rea
son the athletic situation chagrins him is be
cause he too is a god whom the masses cease to
worship during the heat of battle.
Let m repeat, coaching is only a racket.
If the coach tries to make it even a decent
racket he will be sorely saddened but he will
not know why. Let's lay off of the athletes
and coaches. They're to be pitied, not praised
or blamed.
