Gustavson Reports . . .
Emphasis Oh Sports
Fault Of Universities
Upon his return from a meeting
of the American Cnunril nf F.Hn-
cation Chancellor R. G. Gustavson,
reported that the intercollegiate
athletics committee is in general
agreement that too much emphasis
has been placed on college sports.
"However," the Chancellor
said, "the fault lies not with the
athletes but with the institu
tions that have promoted this
overemphasis."
The Committee to Recommend
on Intercollegiate Athletics, a sub
committee of the American Coun
GUSTAVSON
cil of Education, met last week
in Washington to discuss the prob
lem of athletic overemphasis.
While no official report was is
sued by the nine-member com
mittee, its members were in gen
eral agreement on several points.
The points are:
1. There should be no double
standard of admission in insti
tutions of higher learning. That
is, that the same standard of ad
mission to a University must
apply to students attending the
University to participate in
sports as to students who do not
plan to participate in intercol
legiate sports.
2. Young men who do partici
pate in intercollegiate athletics
must make normal progress to
ward graduation. The committee
feels that athletes are expected
to complete a four year course
in four years, or a five year
course in five years.
3. The practice of offering
"pipe" courses to athletes and
otherwise facilitate their par
ticipation in athletics at the ex
pense of the school's academic
integrity must be stopped.
Upon these practices, upheld by
many institutions, rests the blame
for today's meddled athletic situ
a t i o n, according to committee
members.
Chancellor Gustavson reported
that the members of the com
mittee were in agreement that
the overemphasis of intercollegi
ate athletics tends to undermine
the integrity of institutions. He
blames colleges and universities
Army Training Courses
ROTC Enrollment Totals 1,05
By HILE GOODRICH
Staff Writer
Army ROTC this year has a
total enrollment of 1,051 men in
the advanced and basic courses.
Of this number, 960 men are
on the University's Lincoln cam
pus. Ninety men make up the
medical corps unit in Omaha.
The ROTC detachment of the
University is divided into six
branches. They are infantry,
engineers, military police, artil
lery, ordnance and medical
corps. All except the medical
unit are located on the Lincoln
campus.
Infantry branch is the basic
fighting unit of the army. Ac-
cording to infantry ROTC men, it
is the branch that must go in
and root the enemy out of its hole.
Other branches act as supports
for the infantry in specialized
fields.
Army corps of engineers uses
camouflage, chemicals, mines and
booby traps. Engineers are also
responsible for the building and
maintenance of transportation
facilities, building construction
and river crossing operations.
Corps of military police serves
es the army's police force. It is
responsible for combat intelli
gence, protection of vital installa
tions, military law enforcement
and handling prisoners of war.
Field artillery acts as direct
support for Infantry units in
combat. Its weapons hurl shells
from four to over nine Inches
In diameter at the enemy. Guid
ed missies may be added soon
to Its stockpile of weapons.
Ordnance is responsible for the
repair, maintenance and distrlbu
tion of all vehicles, weapons, am
munition and mechanical equip
ment of the army.
In addition to their specialized
roles, all of the above branches
are trained for combat in the same
manner as the infantry. Engineer
ing and ordnance branches of
KOTC are open only to those tnk
in courses )e;dinR to a scientific
or technical degree.
Colonel James H. Workman Is
head of University army ROTC
with the title professor of mili
tary science and tactics. Colonel
themselves for a large share of
the much-publicized athletic scan
dals which have swept the nation
since last March.
Chancellor Gustavson's remarks
largely seconded those of New
York General Sessions Judge Saul
S. Streit. Last week Judge Streit
sentenced principals m the bas
ketball "fix" scandals, reviewed
the records of several players sen
tenced and pointed out their low
academic ranking in high school
classes. He also described the me
thods employed to assure their
eligibility to play basketball after
receiving athletic scholarships by
universities.
"While there is much in in
tercollegiate athletics that is
good and worthwhile and which
must be retained, there is a
decided overemphasis of ath
letics in our school today," Dr.
Gustavson warned. That over
emphasis, he pointed out, pre
sents a direct challenge to the
integrity of educational insti
tutions. The general feeling among the
delegates to the Washington meet
ings was that "the integrity of the
institution must be maintained
and the integrity of the student
must be maintained," Gustavson
said.
The committee began a discus
sion of the question of off-season
practices in various sports, but
the conferees did not arrive at a
conclusion regarding the practices.
This question, will be discussed
more fully at future meetings.
None of the points agreed
upon by the committee have
passed more than the discussion
stage. However, they have di
eted their attention to the
problem of intercollegiate ath
letics and to the certain prac
tices which have tended to un
dermine the integrity of schools.
The next meeting of the com
mittee will be held Dec. 12 and 13
in Washington.

Student Council Adopts
A. Schmidt's Proposals
Juniors and seniors may now file for the new junior
and senior class councils recently authorized by the Student
Council, according to Peggy Mulvaney, chairman of the
campus improvements committee supervising the appointments.
The councils were provided for in a plan introduced to
the Student Council by Aaron r
Schmidt, last year's senior class
president. The two councils form
the basis of a program designed
to propagate class spirit in the
University.
Class council members will
work in conjunction with class
officers to promote the annual
junior-senior prom ana oiner
projects planned by the class
presidents.
Junior class President Marty
Lewis said he is in favor of an
other attempt at a class picnic
later next year.
Schmidt's plan called for class
councils for all four classes, but
the Student Council set up only
the two UDDerclass councils. They
will be observed during a trial
-period lasting until next spring.
After that period the Student
Council will either make the
councils a permanent feature in
the student administrative system
of the University or abolish the
plan.
Schmidt feels that interclass
competition is a quality lacking
in the University. Efforts to gen
erate class spirit with a junior
senior picnic last spring failed
Class councils for each class could
stimulate competition in the
freshman and sophomore classes,
Schmidt claims, and that spirit
would carry through the upper
classes of the University.
Freshmen enter with enthus
iasm instilled in high school,
Schmidt contends, but there is
no outlet for this enthusiasm in
the lower classes. All spirit
therefore is dead by the time
students reach their junior and
senior years, he says.
Applications should be filed in
Dean Hallgren's office before 5
p.m. Friday. A weighted average
of 4.5 is required for applicants.
On Dec. 10 the Student Council
campus improvements committee
will select ix members from each
class to serve on the councils.
Members of the committee are
Miss Mulvaney, Jack Cohen, Dean
Linscott, Mary Lou Flaherty,
Wayne White, Nanci DeBord,
Lanny Esch, Ira Epstein, John
Adams and Georgia Hulac.
