Jlssues Statement
•:'Dr..3larion R. Trabne, beginning
his first 'year as dean of the School
of Education, in an interview with
the collegian yesterday says, "The
School of Education begins the aca
.dqmic year 1937-38 with two really
great handicaps: an old building
which has never been adequate, even
for the offices of instructors; and a
new dean, who has not yet learned
the traditions and procedures of the
College. While the staff in ethication
has 'been greatly weakened by the
loss of Dean Chambers' and Profes
sors Medsger, Rhoton, and Ruch., a
considerable amount of encourage.'
ment is being derived from the fact,
that several young men of demon
strited 'ability and resourcefulness
'have been added to the staff. We'
uhgyo:.high..h'opes that theLaroposed;,,,,
new'building for the School of EMI ,
cation will soon begin to . take con
crete form on the site •opposite
Liberal. Arts. We are facing the
future with confidence, but with
out any thought of radical changes
in the excellent program already
underway."

Opinion Divided cSherply
Meanwhile camptispinion on the
issue was divided shdrply, into two
camps. On the one side, in full ac
cord with the committee's action,
stood the advocates fort the preserva
tion of "State's unrivaled collegiate
prestige." On the . other side, de
nouncing vehemently . the committees
"unheralded" action, stood critics of
State's "lily-white athletic policy,"
which would "sacrifice all amateurs
for the sake of maintaining State's
so-called pure status,".i
Rumors spread' .'throughout the
campus, charging the'Committee with
failure to 'give the t4ers a "chance
to defend themselvei,'r stressing. the
fact that its decision was made known
when they Were. in •Cl4oeld, appear,-,

had brought pres Sure to hear upon
the committee and forced to ren
der the decision.
Faculty Concurred
The rumor was promptly spiked by
Dean of Men Arthur:. R. Warnock, a
member of the committee. "There is
no truth to the rumor . ." he said.
"In fact, every member of the faculty
of the School of Physical Education'
and Athletics who was contacted
agreed that this .was the only right
ful procedure."
"There was no question of profes
sionalism involved," Warnock ex
plained. "They were declared ineli
gible for violating the spirit of the
rules adopted by the E. I. B. A. last
winter at, Syracuse, which declared
that participants in collegiate boxing
. could not have had experience in
either . Golden Gloves or so-called am
ateur . clients . for 'commercial reasons
: because' they would have too
much of an advantage over the other
participants."
''"Prof.
