Another of the perennially-discussed
University institutions is the athletic pro
gram. 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. Our editorial and

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.

Dear editor,
Hark! Those football pas

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

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.

Thanks, Union
Dear editor,
I wish to express our
most sincere thanks to
those who presented the
Union for the use of mar
ried students Sunday.
I especially want to thank
the girls who cared for our
children while we played
i free!) in the Union. They
had as much fun as we did.
Things like this indicate
the University's interest in
the family life of its stu
dents: an interest that is
welcome and appreciated.
Again, thank vou.

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

Please
Dear editor:
Will the real Nebraska
please stand up?
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.
