tee on student welfare Wednesday

visit fraternity houses unchaperoned
until I o’clock on Friday and-Satur

The recommendation would make
special exceptions for all-Collegc

scholarship grades under the system
inaugurated this year, definite action
was postponed until a meeting of
fraternity scholarship , chairmen is

)R SPORTS
\EZDEK STATES
Finance Need Named as
Cause for Shorter
New Schedules
athletic director said in accounting for
the shortened football and basketball
schedules. The smaller schedules are
also in line with the economy pro
gram, he admitted.
Pointing out that other colleges and
universities whose football teams
boasted better than ordinary records,
had suffered decreases in financial
returns for the past season, Director
Bezdek maintained that a winning
team is only one factor in large gate
receipts. The general economic con
ditions, weather, radio broad
casting and development of .other in
terests have affected the attendance
at intercollegiate football games the
past-two years, he said.
Abandonment of varsity basketball,
baseball, boxing, fencing, swimming,
cross country, tennis and golf as well
as most or all freshman sports has
been the answer of many colleges and
universities to decreased financial re
turns this year.
