Strangely enough, in this year of athletic prowess and occasional thrill, the critics of quasi-professional athletics have either converted into fans or gone under growth So apparently in athletics "That that is is good," as long as winners are produced. To set the record straight, we hereby state that we are against intercollegiate athletics primarily football in the mag nituda'and power at this University today. We have several points we would like to make with regards to this stand. Our objections are both specific and general, and we realize that some of them simply don't hold water; we maintain that some of the reasoning behind big-time ath letics doesn't hold any more water. First and foremost, we are tired of hearing the athletic department justify its existance on the basis that it is self-supporting. It can perhaps be justified on the basis of entertainment for the students, and as a means of impressing a group of graduates who couldn't care about teacher and classroom shortages as long as the boys get to the Elastic Bowl next year. National reputation be hanged! Our degrees will mean a lot more in 100 years when we finally become known as one of the top schools in the world in Pflas terology or Biopariscide. If a good football team draws alum money, we'll keep it, all the while wondering why the alums don't care about the other 12,950 students here. And then we have the scholarship ath lete. Now perhaps there is no official pol icy about dilomatic immunity for this breed, and. if not we are not condoning one, even though it would be nice for purposes of consistancy.

Read Ncbraskan Want Ads personal sympathy goes to the scholar ship athlete with a few exceptions, who have managed to free themselves from the stereotype for the personal beatings they take each day during the practice sessions. Far more sympathy is due to the stereotype, forced upon them by giv ing them one hall per year to mutilate, forcing an unbelievable and unlikely pro vincialism by preventing their living with a cross section of people, preventing them from "biting the hand that feeds them" if they feel they must speak for the rights of their race. Full room and board, nay, even free books are not compensation for this type of personal degradation. We pro test not out of a sense of personal jeal ously, but from a sense that our fellow stu dents are deprived the right of really be ing students. For there is no injustice commited up on the average student by the awarding of athletic scholarships. And possibly there is no injustice committed upon the Uni versity by entering it into the realm of "quasi"-professional athletics. We only wish that the University could draw such enthusiasm when election year rolls around, that it could draw such acclaim when the Law School or the English de partment comes into the conversation. We do not advocate the destruction of big-time athletics at this University, for the times are not right. We will be at all the games next year, occasionaly cheer ing and most of the time listening to the asinine comments of the sterotyped foot ball fan. And hoping that someday the times will be right right so that needy and deserving athletes can receive an ed ucationnot a moulding and at the same time bring recognition to their school as an institution in which all things are placed in their proper prospective: alum feelings, money, self-respect.

Those football pas sers and frisbee-throwers. otherwise affectionately known as Phi Psi's, are in dire need. In an attempt to get them away from the streets, off the sidewalks and out of the way, we pro pose a fund raising drive; if every University student would give but one pop bot tle and four bubble gum wrappers, sufficient funds could be had to build them a supervised playground, complete with a swing set, merry-go-round, and mon key bars. Do not shirk your responsibility give gen erously. Dean Hyde Terry Girardot Go Teddy Roosevelt The MINNESOTA DAILY It is relatively easy for a nation to grow into the assumption that other na tions should view it the way it views itself; and it is only a small step from there to the assumption that every one should view other na tions the way it does. Un der the Presidency of Theo dore Roosevelt the United States adopted the view that it could jolly well do as it pleased in dealing with oth er nations in the Hemis phere. Our intentions for them may be good, and our interference often helpful: but the decision on such matters would most assur edly be our own, subject to no other nation's demurra! or reservation. If the bombing of North Vietnam was not convinc ing proof of our reversion to that policy, last week's bumptious intrusion in the Dominican Republic should have been.. . There's one big difference between TR's actions and LBJ's. These days we have international organizations and agreements forbidding things like that. They are based on a premise of re spect for the sovereignty of other nations, born of a dis like for previous invasions of our own sovereignty. One of these agreements (the Organization of American States (OAS) Treaty. Arti cle 17), states categorical ly that the territory of a state '"may not be the ob ject, even temporarily, of military occupation ... by another State, directly or indirectly, under any grounds whatsoever." When the President sends the Marines into an inde pendent Latin American Na tion in violation of a com mitment such as this, can we brush off Soviet and other criticisms as propa ganda? Granting their own penchant for exaggeration, it is not impossible that these nations have a pers pective on the situation that we may have lost. he's waterproof 'Vv..;.; ' r?- it.

EE 'iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiii aek To The The President could have ascertained that Juan Bosch was not a Communist or a "Castroite" merely by ask ing Hubert Humphrey, who has known Bosch for years. It appears from recent dis patches that Communist ele ments were never in con trol or anywhere near it. "Are we now to assume," the Manchester Guardian asks, "that whenever a La tin American country chooses to revolt against an oppressive government, the United States will be there with Marines, on the grounds that there are some Com munists among the revolu tionaries?" Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D., N.Y.) noted over the weekend that President Johnson not only violated OAS policy, but neglected even to consult them before doing so. Before President Kennedy blockaded Cuba he had full OAS support: the Dominican affair could certainly have been no greater emergency. We now find out it was no emer gency at all. The partiality of the Amer ican wire services was nev er more blatant than in this episode. Loyally repeating State Department allega tions and apparently doing no independent research that ever came to light, they performed a singular dis service to their readers. The New York Times Service alone presented other views, including a very revealing interview with Bosch him self on Sunday. The State Department it self, of course, is utlimate ly to blame. Pap-feeding the public on inanities and out right misstatements may assuage public criticism, but it makes the U.S. look silly everywhere on earth. An example of the sancti monious nonsense we get is Ambassador-at-Large Har riman's remark (May 3) that "the United States takes no part in the policial decision of the Dominican people in the selection of "OH Of IVIITIBIM . . . downstairs ill -1 HELD OVER MOM.

No wonder Colorado wiped us 250 to 105 in the first round with the bums we had to help Jim Mc Ginnis. I'm sure no one thinks Spencer Davis (who sot one or two answers) and Kelley Baker (who never buzzed) made the team be cause they are fraternity brothers of two of the three people who picked the team iLary Johnson of the Betas and the judge named Mark from Theta XI respectively), and I'm- sure no one won ders why we had four fra ternity boys when the cham pion and runnerup teams as well as a third of the four semifinalists were independ dents, but why couldn't we have had Dave Kittams of the Eclectics (or McGinnis of the Olds or Greg Kropp of Avery House) for sci- their leadership." In addition to the selec tive withholding and distort ing of information, there seems to be confusion about what constitutes a declara tion of war and when one is necessary. Sen. Wayne Morse (D., Or.) brought up the issue at the time Con gress adopted a blank-check declaration of support for Johnson's Vietnam policies, calling that resolution "a war." Are we not at war with the military regime governing the Dominican Republic? By what authori zation? It seems that the one weak link in the chain of command the Constitution forges is the popular lack of control of the executive, especially since the execu tive may or may not choose to present the public with enough information. If American foreign pol icy is in the process of de generating into the old phil osophy based on a world full of contending power blocs and ignoring interna tional organizations and al liances, we should at least abandon the hypocrisy of claiming adherence to these commitments. We should all so, by the way, prepare for war on any of several fronts.

Duplication of knowledge among four smart people is not so great with everything there is to be known, and the person who scored 400 of his 800 points on history (or whatever) should make the Big Eight team over the person who scored 405 on history and only 20 points in other fields. Please let's not make teams stake everything on a ten-minute quarterfinal match next year because somebody can't write a few more questions, and espe cially let's not suddenly make the semifinals single elimination.
