Of
College Presidents Study
Athletes' Snap Courses
College presidents studying em
phasis and de-emphasis of college
sports Wednesday hoped to learn
how many schools permit athletes
to concentrate on so-called snap
courses in physical education.
The presidents are members of
a special committee set up by the
American Council on Education.
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson is
a member of the committee.
During the committee's first
meeting in Washington last month
the president discussed general
Droblems in college sports. In
Wednesday's Washington meeting,
which will continue through
Thursday, they expect to be more
specific.
College sports' most bitter critic,
Judge Saul S. Streit, has been par
ticularly harsh on this phase of
education.
Last Friday, in suspending
sentence on three former Brad
ley university basketball play
ers,, Streit said the athletes had
been permitted to take elemen
tary badminton, touch football,
volley ball, elements of tumbl
ing, outdoor running and co-ed
dancing.
The former basketball stars had
been accused of trying to fix a
game in New York in 1950.
A month earlier Streit had let
go with anohter blast at college
administrators while sentencing
five former players and suspend
ing sentence on nine others.
Streit was invited to appear
before the college presidents to
give his views. He accepted at
first, but later declined when he
was told he may have to sit in
other cases involving college
athletes.
Dr. John A. Hannah of Michi
gan State, chairman of the com
mittee, said after last month s
meeting that the presidents are
agreed that all athletes should
take regular courses and keep up
and be graduated with their
classes.

Devries is a graduate of the
University College of Law and

of State for Nebraska. During the
war he served on the regional
Wage Stabilization Board. Rock is

Kansas City.
Bourne is associate professor of
economic and labor relations at

still have to be registered in Dean
Johnston's office, but other organ

In a further report, Messersmith
said that all parking spaces will
be open to all parking after 1:00
p.m. Printed notices of this will be
distributed to students during reg

George Cobel, Council presi
dent, reported on a meeting be
tween the athtletic board of
control and two council mem
bers which discussed the rental
problem of the Coliseum. At the
discussion it was brought up
that the Coliseum is owned by
the University and the adminis
tration is in the hands of the
athletic board.
All rent money goes into a fund
in the student activities office and
is spent for improvements to make
the Coliseum more useful to stu
dents. The usual annual income
from rent amount to about $7,000.
Rental for student functions is $50
to $350 and a flat $350 for out
side use.
The coliseum is rent free for
student activities such as convoca
tions and for organizations which
are sponsoring a free function.

stressed a need for an office or
agency to group all scheduling

events in Bruce Nicoll's office
and the departmental functions
are not registered at all.
This scheduling agency would
be based on a priority rating to
determine which function would
have precedence. A paid person
would be in the office at all times
and the office would probably be
set up in the Union, buch an
agency would prevent overlapping
of various functions.

Truman Orders Tax Clamp-Down
Meanwhile Attorney General
WASHINGTON President
Truman, angered by recent
revelations of corruption in the
tax division of the justice de
partment, ordered federal en
forcement agencies to clamp
down on errant officials. The
snowballing tax scandal has
brought grand jury indictments
from coast to coast. In San

same treatment.
President Dispatches Cease-Fire Views
KOREA According to a
United Press story, President
Truman dispatched his views
on the cease-fire talks to Gen.
Ridgway, far eastern com
mander. It is hoped that these
new instructions might lead
the way to some sort of agree
ment between the allies and
the reds.
At the talk site in Panmun
jom, U.S. delegates offered to
grant the communists three
concessions in exchange for
some from the reds. Maj. Gen.
- Howard Turner stated that we
would withdraw from islands
near the North Korean coast,
we would agree to neutral in
stead of joint supervision of
the cease-fire, and that we
would grant the reds the right
to repair existing air bases.
Gen. Turner asked that the
reds agree not to build any
new air bases and that they
astree to allow the supervisors
unlimited aeriul reconnaissance
over all of Korea.
The issue concerning ex
change of prisoners produced
some heated language from
Rear Adm. Libby of the U.S.
delegation. Adm. Libby accused
the communists of "flouting
the Geneva convention" by re
fusing to disclose the identities
of the prisoners they noia.

Arriving at a strange hotel, a
fussy woman thought that in case
of a fire, she'd better know where
the fire escape was. So she started
exploring. During her tour, she
opened a door and found herself
in a bathroom occupied by an
elderly gentleman.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" she hastily ex
plained. "I was looking for the
fire escape."
Continuing on her search, pres
ently she heard the pat of bare
feet behind her and a shout made
her turn. It was the elderly gen-
student Itleman, clad in a bath towel.
"Wait a minute!" he gasped.
"Where's the fire?"
"What is home without a
mother?"
Asked the boy with a sigh.
"I am, tonight," replied the

these comments from the 35 stu

lights and make-up.
Off stage preparations for the
presentation of a play, produc

require more work than meets
the eye of the audience. Each
member of the scenery crew, he
said, has worked an average of
50 hours creating the back

Working on a limited budget,
the construction crew, under the
direction of Charles Peterson, has
produced a modern lobby of an
exclusive hotel in northern Italy
for the stage setting of "Idiot's
Delight." This was accomplished,
Tolch said, by adapting and re
modeling furniture and other
materials on hand in the theater.
Peterson is assisted by proper
