The best way to clarify a situation is to bring it to the light, state
the facts and let the public be the final judge.
There is no doubt but what tbe public should be kept well
informed about college sports today in -view of the fact that they
are facing one of the most trying periods in their history. Even if
the present athletic situation did not exist, the publio still has a
right to be informed.
At the present time one of the most-heated athletic issues con
cerns the publishing the names of athletes receiving athletic scholar
ships at the University.
The first reason that local newspapers should publish the story
is simply to fulfill their chief function of informing the publio on
an issue which definitely needs clarification. Until a week ago,
everything concerning athletic scholarships had been of a hush
hush nature. Such viewpoint by the athletio department only
aroused the curiosity of sports fans and made them wonder if
something really was foul. And such a reaction on their part was
only natural. If something was wrong, they wanted to know what
It was.
Subsidization of athletes is undoubtedly one of the main ailments
of sports. Secretiveness will only prolong the problem and make it
worse. This is not to say that subsidization exists at Nebraska. But for
the good of college sports in general, Nebraska should take the lead
by revealing what kind of aid its athletes do receive. If enough
pressure is brought to bear, other schools will be forced to follow
suit and disclose the type of athletic scholarships they give.
Furthermore, such a revelation can do Nebraska no harm, and
it certainly could do a great deal of good. The Daily Nebraskan
bat always printed the content of other scholarships, and there
war no disastrous results. Why then should there be any in this
case if everything is on the np and up?
Some schools especially those in the South in the past have
refused to publish what kind of aid their athletes received. Since
then some light has been shed on the situation, and it has been
proven that such athletes as Charley Trippi of the University of
Georgia were given vast sums for services rendered athletically. And
Georgia had some mighty potent teams during those years, lne
present situation might have been avoided had such schools as
Georgia been willing to cooperate in controlling subsidization. So
why antagonize it by continuing to withhold information.
A University athletio official stated that he was afraid releas
ing such information would cause dissension among-Nebraska ath
letes. I wonder if he really believes that each individual athlete is
completely unaware of the amount some of his colleagues are
receiving?
The reasons for not publishing the information are petty, es
pecially in view of the fact that athletics might well benefit from
such a story. Of course, it will be disclosed within the next few years..
Even so, the story would not have been released had not Chancellor
Gustavson demanded it
There is no reason to condemn athletio scholarships; we Just
want to know the truth.
National Football Scene
Shows Grid De-emphasis
College football has taken about
every sort of criticism from al
most anyone who troubled to give
it and the results seem to be
quite conclusive that de-emphasis
is sweeping the nation.
The conferences throughout
the country have taken certain
stands on many of the contro

football picture. The final de

featured independent action. Bob
Fairchild, Gaylord Smith, Hoppy
McCue and Jim Hurley combined
to establish a new mark of 1:54.

Husker Cagers Prepare
For Southland Journey

The Husker. cagers will break
loose from the midwestern cold
spell Wednesday for a trip to the
southlands.
Miami, Tampa, New Orleans
.. .a number of "paradise" cities
are in the path of the traveling
Cornhuskers.
But the Nebraska, team will be
carrying a heavy schedule. Coach
Harry Good's squad will play
games Wednesday through Satur
day on the road, and begin play
in the Big Seven tournament at
Kansas City Dec. 26-29 after a
short holiday season break.
Their next home contest is
scheduled for Jan. 5 against the
Colorado Buffaloes.
Coach Good listed his traveling
squad as Stan Matzke, Gerald
Sandbulte, Bill Johnson, Fred Se
ger, Joe Good, Jim Snyder,
Charles Ott, Don Weber, Jim
Buchanan, Paul Fredstrom, Clark
Smaha and Willard Fagler.
The Husker tutor looks for
the trip to be a grueling one
for his predominantly green
cage squad, but believes that
the trip should "veteranize" his
men. "We will be facing several
entirely different styles of op
ponent's play," Good said.
The team will leave at 3:15 p.m.
Tuesday by trafn and leave for
Dallas by air from Kansas City,
arriving in Dallas at 9:15 a.m.
Wednesday. They play Southern
Methodist university Wednesday
and Thursday evenings.

This nimble-minded nutcracker almost
tumbled for those tricky cigarette mildness tests.
But he worked himself out of a tight spot when
he suddenly realized that cigarette mildness
just can't be judged by a mere puff or one single
sniff. Smokera everywhere have reached this
conclusion there's just one real way to prove the
flavor and mildness of A cigarette.
JTt's the $entible test . , . the 30-Day Camel
Mildness Test, which simply, asks you to try
Camels as your steady smoke on a p&ck-af ter-pack,
day-after-day basis. No snap judgments. Once
you've enjoyed Camels for 30 days in your
"T-Zone" (T for Throat, T for Taste ) ,
youll see why ...
