Nrws E.titor This-Issue Tuesday, February 15, 1938 AN “ATHLF/i'iC DINING COMMONS ” .THE NECESSITY OF properly caring for athletes is tt problem that has perplexed college authorities for decades, and with recent outbursts against “subsidiza lion” anil “over-emphasis” the problem has beccme more complex than ever. There is, and will continue to be, just so lonic as foot ball maintains its prominent spot in the collegiate sports world, a football ‘‘training table.” But, any such movement for “free feeding” in other sports would be frowned upon as a form of “subsidization.” Yet, every day, before and during the playing sea sons, various sports aspirants must remain out fov practice for a number of .hours. These hours usually stretch beyond the time supper is served, with the re sult that athletes must eat cold, cook-over meals, or get their supper at one of the down-town restaurants. The unhealtlviness of the former is apparent, inas much as eating such a meal, especially after a vigor ous work-out, is anything but conducive to proper phys ical condition. In the case of eating at down-town •‘beaneries” it is also apparent that, in most eases, the proper foods will not he ordered. With this in mind, the Collegian proposes that an “Athletics Dining Common?.” he established in the Sandwich Shop of Old Main, for which athletes will pay for one meal a day—the evening meal —this pay ment not to exceed the COST of the meal. Under such a plan, the meals will be planned by Miss Fall, who has signified her approval of such a movement, Jack Hulme, anti the coaches of the teams. Under such a plan, sports such as boxing and wrest ling, in which weights must be "made,” will be bene fited In that proper food will be given to participants who have trouble “getting down to weight.” In these cases, such men will receive foods that are healthful, and, wlten otherwise purchased at profit-making res taurants would cost too much. Under such a plan, other athletes in basketball, track, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, gymnastics, and swimming would be saved the nnhealthful inconvenience of eat ing re-cooked and improper evening meals—at a time of the day when they retjuire a substantial, well-planned meal. Under such a plan, seconds, firsts, and managers may also he ; included, inasmuch as they also put in quite a few hours of real manual labor, and are also oniiLled to a “decent” meal. The Sandwich Shop is under College management, and for this reason the Collegian feels justified in pro posing that the .Sandwich Shop be used for such:a pur pose as an “Athletic Dining Commons/,* Jt'will not he competing with down-town restaurants for the reason that athletes are entitled .n, at least, this slight con sideration for their efforts. This plan requires the whale-hearted support of play.- ers and coaches, with the realization that this is an attempt towards definitely aiding physical anti mental athletic preparedness.—ll. B. C. STAN BROWN’S DANCE THIS YEAH A DEFINITE movement was started to restore the campus hat societies to a position on the campus where they could do something constructive ami thereby regain much of .the prestige they have lost in recent years. Some sueli progress was made in the senior aw! sophomore classes, hut the old political foot ball, ißlue Key, has descended to depths under the pres idency of Campus Clique Chairman Stanley Brown, that would warrant .Mayor Hague, of Jersey City, ap ply Rg for entrance papers to. the heavenly gates. A brief history of Blue Key this year will prove the point. At the beginning of the year Brown called one of his few meetings to take in new members. Disre garding any semblance of a constitution and precedent, Lite gales of the society wore thrown wide open. This was good politics. Tt made Brown many influential po litical friends for future us”. And it throw more dues into iho coffers over which no member of thc-nrganizn tion save the o/liccrs Has a check. Each year Blue Key since a “catastrophe” some years ago has started the year with around a s*loo deficit. Unless President Brown can make up this deficit sit the end of the year, he will have little excuse to offer for flooding the society with members. Some of the mem bers do not know each other. To forestall questions about the finances, Brown has merely refrained from calling meetings. When the an nual donation of $lOO came along from the Interclass Finance committee for the Blue Key dance, Brown called a meeting attended by a fraction of the total membership of the society, and arranged the date, place, arid plans for the dance. The dance came off Saturday night much to the sur prise ,of half of the members of the society. Up until that lime there had been vague rumors as to when it would he. .Brown has been reported as asking sopho mores who made out as first assistants in sports this full.to attend, but he neglected to ask the senior mem bers of the society. Obviously saving money by having no ‘punch, the dance was run off at Brown's home fraternity, Chi Phi, Saturday night. Few of the people at the dance knew each other or know who were Blue Keys. No chaper ons could he found. A man who does not find anything for his society to do, who throws open the gales of his society to mem bership at will, and who holds a private dance with the society’s funds is obviously a dictator. It is small wonder that Blue Key has slipped to the depths of campus honors; that'it is no longer justified.' President .Brown in one yebr has killed the general movement to improve the hat societies. Blue Key this year is the laughing stock and disgrace of the campus. Bet us hope that the active members will find out what happens to the organization’s money and why the seniors and local alumni were not invited to the dance Saturday.night. We would like to hear how Blue Key justifies its existence. fO BOARD Who's Who: Adrian 0.

CAHAN ‘With the announcement that elec tions will be held April 6,7, 8, it is expected that class tickets will soon' be out, although petitions don’t have to he filed until March 23, and offi cial campaigning start nnti/_ March 30. It should be noted that the election code is the same as last year, there fore it can be fairly definitely stated that Joe Peel will be the Independent party’s pandidate to succeed himself. • It might he well here to explain the ‘ odd set-up of the Independent party. First of all, they have dis carded ‘‘he title of “clique” and pre fer to he known as the Independent party. Each class elects a chairman and secretary, who. are the representa tives on the advisory .council, which governs all party policies. This coun 2il is.headed .by two seniors, Francis Sx.ynicy.ak and Bob Baxter, who are really the "powers behind the thirme.” The, sophomore and junior Inde pendent groups held meetings Friday night, at which time -Bill Galbreath and Bill Firth were re-elected junior and. sophomore chairmen, respective ly. Henry'Smith was reelected junior class secretary. The / ndvisory council held a meet ing Sunday afternoon—a very secre tive affair, but it is known that a general platform was discussed. The Independents, spurred on by the suc cess of the Book Exchange, which was a plai\k in their platform last year, are already formulating a pro gram. And here’s something that may startle junior class Campus men—a certain! nig fraternity has approach ed the Independents with the propo sition of handing all their'votes for senior class officers over to the In dependents. This is not just an idle rumor, but in order to avoid any pre mature trouble, the name is omitted. A few meetings are slated this week, the most important .of which will be held by Locust Lane’s junior class clique Thursday night. We’re wondering, along with- Campus and the Independents, which" way the pen dulum is going to Swing. Wo wouldn’t even risk a prediction. A little comedy relief has been added to the conducting of this col umn. One of bur stooges became slightly involved with a politician and a fraternity'brother, because we foiind something out that wasn’t sup posed to he known. Great stuff, this politics! Whitmore To Deliver Talk on Hydrocarbons Returning from a prolonged speak ing trip in several southern states, Dean Frank C.
