The Carodino Story
Sports Editor Bob Banks column on Tom
Caroline has aroused a great deal of comment
around campus. And Tom Carodine's reply has
aroused, an equal amount of comment. I think,
however, that thereal point of Bob's article was
missed in the furore over his statment that Caro
dino should not be allowed to play in 1952.
The point of the original column was that
the University not Carodine was at fault in
admitting; Carodine to the University in the first
He was accepted in the face of a rule which
jtates specifically that no student ishall be ad- ,
mitted to school who haa left another college
or university in bad standing. That is not to say
that the rule is good or bad, and I think it is
a good rule, but merely to point out that rule
was on the books. It should either be removed or
followed.
Qnlx)ond&hland
take everything out of a student, or take up so
much of his time, that he has no time for any
thing else, then the game has gotten too big for
anybody's good. I think Tom Carodine's case is
involved in this point."
I likewise fail to agree with the contention
that a football player should not have to attend
classes. If he comes to the University to study,
he should study. I know any number of stu
dents who work afl;r school, some as much as
40 hours, but I have not heard anyone advocat
ing that they be excused from attending classes
because of that.
A number of people have quarrelled with the
fact that the original article was run at all. I
think it ' very unfortunate that the person In
volved happened to be Tom Carodine. It would
have been equally unfortunate had it been any

In part, the controversy boils down to the .. . . ... mav
Some people thing that Nebraska should hire
a winning football team if it can get one no other
following facts:
1. Some people think that the University
should have a winning football team,'' or none
at all.
I. Some people think that football players
should not have to take as many hours or meet,
as many requirements as other students.
3. Some people think that a winning football
team should be maintained, at any cost. If this
means doing the same things that other schools
are doing to get players, do it.
These are legitimate opinions that I have
heard expressed in the past few days. I quarrel
with the validity of the above statements, but not
with the right of the individuals to voice them.
The University should have a football team,
and If possible a winning team. But winning isn't
possible all of the time. When two teams meet,
someone has to lose. And very few teams have
been able to win indefinitely. Everybody likes to
see his home team win, but it isn't possible to do
so all the time.
I think that if football players are not able
to meet the minimum scholastic requirements of
the University, then they have no business going
to school. I realize that trying to study after an to "solve" part of the problem. There are all shades

teams if some people had their way.
I do not quarrel with athletic scholarships. I
think that a certain amount, depending on need,
might well be given to football players. I do not
think that they should be paid outright for their
"services" to the University.
Getting a football team does not require re
cruiting of star players from other teams. If out
state students want to come to this school because
of family ties, educational facilities or sorr.2 similar
reason, that is fine. I "do not think that they should
be paid to come here.
The question "which comes first, the chicken
or the egg?" might be applied to the statement
that a good football team is all important to the
University. Universities were founded, and
existed for many years, without football. I do not
thing the removal of football would destroy Uni
versities. I do not advocate abolishing football.
But I do thing that football is getting to be too
much of a business enterprise. Another column
on this page carries the opinions expressed in
a national magazine of some other Americans
on the subject.

'Grandpa Went To College For $500,

The Iowa State Daily states that today's Iowa
State women are luckier than their grandmothers
were in the 1880's!
Grandfather and grandmother could complete
their college educations for a now-unheard-of-sum

student would receive 40 cents a day for milking

Vote Individually . . ,
To The Student Body:
Today juniors and seniors will
be going to the polls to vote for
junior and senior class officers. In
view of this fact, the 1950-51
members of Mortar Board wish to
state their views in regard to fac
tions and bloc-voting of any kind.
By '.factions," we mean an
organized attempt to bribe or
intimidate voters in order to de
termine who shall be elected. A
faction includes bloc-voting
which we define as (1) either
the official or unofficial guar
antee of votes to one party for a
certain candidate, (2) or the in
sistence by any oorganization
that its members support their
particular candidates.
We believe an organization
which absolutely insists that its
members support their slate is
violating all democratic principles
or voting. Each candidate should
be judged on his individual capa
bilities of handling the particular
office for which he is contesting,
The entire voting principle is a
matter of giving honor where it
is aeservea. it aoes not rigmiy m
vowel voting for one particular
slate without consideration of the
canidates involved.
An election, such as the one
today, is part of student govern
ment which trains us to think
and act individually. We
strongly urge all juniors and
seniors to vote today, and to
vote according to their individ
ual evaluation of the candidates
up for each office.
Sincerely,

Editors Condemned . . . -
Dear Editor:
It is difficult to imagine two
more uncharitable articles in a
newspaper than the two that ap
peared in Monday's Daily Nebras
kan. I refer to the editorial uive
Till It Hurts" and the "Bench
warmer" column.
I should assume three things
from the editorial, perhaps cor
rectlv. Derhaos incorrectly. Read'
ins between the lines these three
thines seem obvious. First, Mr.
Rische has felt obliged to give-till
it hurt and he didn't like it. bee-
ond, he has been asked for too
much Dublicitv in his newspaper,
and it used up precious space that
he could have used to better ad
vantage exm-essine his opinions.
Third, Mr. Rische is the type of
young man who never turnea
cartwheels to show off for his girl
when he was in grade school be
cause it was too foolish. He never
bobbed for apples at the Hallo
ween parties because it was too
undignified.
Might I ask, who ever said
that our charitable giving could
not be accompanied by a little
enjoyment, and even a little
foolishness occasionally, Mr.
Rische? Certainly in our world
of tensions a little foolishness is
not amiss, especially in promo
tion of a little relief from hard
ship and distress. Or would you
prefer that we dispense with
charities and let the government
do it socialism, in case you
don't recognize it?
Bob Banks displays the most
amazing lack of personal charity
and understanding that I have
heard in some time. It is also
rather unusual to meet in Bob a
person who apparently does not
make the same mistake twice. I
also fail to see where anything

James XV. Falbrlght, U. S." Senator from Ar
kansasOur colleges, under extreme pressure from
alumni, have become so intent upon winning foot
ball and basketball games that they use any means
to gain their ends. They hire players who are not
bona fide students and thus" make a mockery, a
farce of the whole concept of amateur ,sport for
the health and entertainment of our young men.
They corrupt not only the hired players but also
the entire student body who learn from their
elders the cynical, immoral doctrine that one must
win at all costs. A by-product of this doctrine, the
necessity for big money, leads naturally to betting
and to the shocking episode of the widespread
bribery of the basketball players in New York.
C. P. Houston, Professor, Tufts College, Mass.
The majority of colleges in the United States
are conducting their intercollegiate sports pro
gram in a manner which is beneficial to the
students and the institution. However, a mi
nority of the colleges, induced by the financial
gain from large gate receipts and by the ex
tensive publicity from winning teams, are pro
fessionalizing some of their teams to the detri
ment of the reputation of college athletics. Col
leges are wise if they insist upon intercollegiate
contests being held on the college campus and
not in publio places as commercial ventures.

Red Smith, Sports Columnist, New York
Herald-Tribune A sane sports program, such
as conscientious educators still try to support, is
essential to a balanced educational plan. The
insane lengths to which some schools go brib
ing athletes to enroll, teaching them deception
through under-the-table payoffs, teaching hy
pocrisy by saying one thing and practicing an
nothcr, instructing players in a win-at-any-cost
philosophy all this is destructive. The respon
sibility rests with the presidents to insist against
financial and alumni pressure, that sports be
conducted as a normal part of undergraduate
life. 1

Over-emphasis in athletics, resulting in patent
commercialism, will continually tend to bring
about scandals like those brought to light in con
nection with the intercollegiate basketball games
at Madison Square Garden in New York and thus
be a hindrance to the central purpose of a college
education. Fortunately there seems to be a gen
eral movement on the part of educational leaders
to become more cognizant of the situation and
take appropriate action. The John Hopkins Uni

In the past, Cornell has criticized NSA on
