All of this brings up a moot question.
What place will football and sports play in
our post-war educational set-up. There are
two schools of thought that we have heard
express their opinions. One school wants
football and all sports balk in full bloom,
regardless of costs. The other school wants
a well-balanced program, but not at the
terrible expense of pre-war sports. It is a
well known fact that our sports program
was a financial drain on the university. We
obtained much publicity from our teams,
but school number two argues that the
money could 'be spent more advantageously
in another manner-e. g. more equipment
for the university and a better and more
rounded intramural programs Your editor's
opinion on this matter is that he would like
to see athletics return in all of its glory if
it can pay for its keep-or even nearly pay
for its keep. No organization in a private
school should be allowed to live on financespects to b e rt~ealle however, into some
other branch of limited service. Rosy has
