THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
A Noble Tradition
Our Chancellor has been accused of disliking
athletics. Critics have said that he couldnt like
competitive sports and talk the way he does about
intercollegiate athletics. Right along the Chan
cellor has been telling the critics that he has noth
ing against athletics; furthermore, ne sincerely be
lieves in the values of athletic competition. Tues
day evening the critics got some more proof.
A round 80 of oar sturdier yoanr students were
the honored gnosis at a banaet in the Union
Ballroom. They were honored for athletie
achievement. Despite the fact that this is the
first of snch banquets in the University's history,
there la nothing really nnosoal about a school
having a. banquet for the men who carried Its
name into athletie battle. There is nothinr un
asoal unless the man who first thought of the
baac.net and poshed It into actuality is a man
with a reputation for disliking athletics.
Ever since the first of the year the Chancellor
has been disturbed about the way our athletes
have been adopted and honored by outside groups.
they have to offer. And, more important, they
take the student away from his studies.
The problem isn't whether it is right or
wrong to have athletics overemphasised; nearly
everyone will agree that overemphasis is bad.
The problem is: When does an athletie program
become overemphasised? The Chancellor and a
group of other university leaders have ladies ted
that they feel it is overemphasised when most
f the players on a team are recraited merely
to participate In a sport not for education.
They say that It Is overemphasised when bowl
games keep teams practicing from summer
through New Tears then start again right away
with apring practice. They say it is overem
phasised when athletes are paid vast sums for
doing nothing beyond competing.
They dont say and what they don't say is
much more important than what they do that it
is wrong to have intercollegiate sports. They
don't say that athletes do not deserve such aids
as the University provides (grant-in-aids consist
ing of scholarships of definite amounts given to
A particular example would be the Quarterback crtain athletes out of money they earn by handl-
Ctub. There is nothing within the school itself
which perfrms the same function as this club for
our athletes especially football players.
In conferences with individual students earlier
in the semester, the Chancellor brought out many
times that he was very much in favor of having
some school function honoring our athletes. To
this writer's knowledge, Dr. Gustavson first men
tioned the idea to representatives of the Junior
and Senior classes suggesting that they sponsor
two all-University banquets. He thought that
there should be one for the athletes and one for
the scholars.
Unfortunately these groups did not have the
financial backing to support these banquets.
Bat the Chancellor did not give op on the Idea,
In fact It was brought np before (he whole stu
dent body daring the Chancellor's annual re
port to the school.
The Kebraskan would like to go on record
In favor of the University of Nebraska honoring
University of Nebraska athletes. We would also
like to say that we respect the way Dr. Gustav
son followed through on a good idea. While we
are giving out compliments, we must also say
that the committee in charge or the program did
an excellent job. Actually, the students who
bowed interest by attending deserve thanks too.
ing concessions at sporting contests. They dont
deny that athletics have values beyond measure
for those able to participate in them. Neither do
they deny that the spectators get a greater school
spirit by uniting on Saturday afternoons with the
common idea of cheering a team to victory.
When the alnmni get more out of atheltlc
contests than the participants and the under
graduates, then athletics are overemphasised.
Chancellor Gustavson has been saying this for
a long time. The Nebraskan agrees with his
premise. We know of several members of the
coaching staff who also agree. But we heard
rumors that the recent Oklahoma threat of get
ting out of the Big Seven was started because of
the attitude Dr. Gustavson was trying to put
over.
Quite personally, this writer would not miss
watching a big bowl game on TV for anything
even getting up by noon on New Year's Day.
However, if playing in bowl games hurts the
scholastic standing of any athlete, if bowl games
are making big money for professional gamblers,
if there is going to be a bowl game in every state
in the Union and bowls lose all individual signifi
cance, then they are not good for athletics or col- j
leges.
Chancellor, we feel that you have started a
noble tradition. We feel, also, that it is an even
more noble tradition because it came from one who
usually is called an enemy of intercolegiate ath
letics. D. f.

What Dr. Gustavson doesn't like are athletic
setups designed purely for their monetary value
to the school and to the athlete. He has said many
times this type of setup removes many of the
