The tempest, currently brewing
at Wisconsin University in regard
to the proposed boxing investiga
tion, is a very interesting situa
tion.
While school and athletic offi
cials, in addition to a majority of
the Badger student body, have sig
nified support and approval for the
inquiry, the economics professor
who proposed this action has been
engaged in lively debate.
To review the case, the student
newspaper, the Wisconsin Daily
Cardinal, stated in its April 6 edi
tion that Professor Morton had
termed boxing a "moronic activi
ty," and that "no person with in
telligence would participate in it."
The following day a Cardinal
sports columnist tore into Morton
in a lengthy sportorial; here were
cited two weaknesses in the pro
fessor's armor . . • timing and un
fair accusations.
Successful Tourney
The faculty report followed on
the heels of an extremely success
ful NCAA tourney at Madison.
where almost 50,000 fans poured
through the turnstiles, and the
branding of all connected with
boxing as moronic was unfounded.
That same day, veteran Badger
Coach John Walsh, himself a law
school graduate, sought an apolo
gy from Professor Morton for his
remarks, and added, "I will stand
hv my boys against those in any
Two kinds of dollars
The Dollars that RUN the Business
These are the dollars you send to us every time you pay
your telephone bill. They're the dollars that grow out of
the nickels that you deposit when you use pay telephones.
They're the dollars that we take in for providing the bed
possible telephone service at the lowest possible cost.
These dollars run the telephone business. They pay our
taxes and our rent and our light and our heat. They pay
wages and the benefits and pensions telephone employees
enjoy. They pay interest to bondholders and dividends to
stockholders for the use of their money.
Any of these dollars that have nothing to do after paying
all that they have to pay and there are never many are
put away for a rainy day.

The Dollars that BUILD the Business
These are the dollars saved by school teachers, widows,
farmers, business men, telephone men and women and other
everyday people in all walks of life with which telephone
securities are bought.
With these dollars, new central offices are built and
equipped, other central offices are enlarged, and all tele
phone equipment switchboards, dial mechanisms, wire
and cable, telephone instruments are bought.
These are the dollars that build the business— that
enable us to meet increasing demands for telephone service
by expanding our facilities to provide it . . . that enable us
to make the continual improvements that bring you the best
possible telephone service at the lowest possible cost.
We must pay for the use of these dollars. Those who
supply them expect us to keep them safe and to keep them

sport, and then some. Boxers and
morons are not synonymous!"
All of Morton's critics stressed
the difference between collegiate
and professional boxing.
The following day, April 8, the
Cardinal published an open letter
from Morton to Coach Walsh in
which the former expressed the
misunderstanding which had oc
curred in his interview with the
newspaper.
Morton declared that he was not
referring to Wisconsin boxers or
to intercollegiate boxing, but that
the statement applied only to pro
fessional boxers and professionai
boxing. He also stated that he had
known`iome very intelligent pro
fessional boxers who went into it
solely for the money. These boxers
had thought the monetary com
pensation worthwhile, though
realizing the risks involved.
The professor's research propos
al is sound, but an unequivocal
and more thought out statement,
would have been far more effec
tive than the one presented.
