Mixed Views Greet
A A Board Proposal
The proposal to increase the membership of the College Athletic
Advisory Board by two students received mixed, opinions from
various members of the student body.
The board is presently composed of 15 members, three of which
are students. '
Harry Cover, All-College vice, president said, , “the proposal is
very commendable and should be
passed as soon as possible. Col
leges with the finest student gov
ernment in the country are being
represented more and more on
their athletic councils.” Cover
cited the University of California
at Berkeley as an 'example
. Lewis Favors Idea
“Any addition at all, not neces
sarily students, would make
things better. The more people we
have determining the policy, the
better it will be,” according to
Ollie Sax, track star.
David Lewis, member of the
men’s debate squad, believes that
since, “we, the students, bear the
main burden of the expense, we
should be . adequately represent
ed.” .
“I don’t favor having too many
students on such a board because
most of the students are between
the ages of 18 and 21 and are
too immature,” William Ashen
felter, cross-country star, said.
“They would have a college full
of athletics. The College. should
have more say since the athletic
policy, is part of the school’s ad
ministrative program.”
On AA. Board Agenda
Pete Schoderbeck, sophomore
guard on the fpotball squad, is in
favor of the proposal because “the

Eisenhower
Announces
Fee for SU
President Milton S. Eisenhower
yesterday officially announced
that the student union fee would
remain at $7.50 for the current
semester.
The fee was to have been raised
this semester to $lO with the
scheduled start of construction.
The executive committee of the
College Board of Trustees, how
ever, voted to continue the same
fee as last year when it met last
week.
While plans for the building
are complete, and government
permission to build-has been se
cured, a shortage of materials has
caused an extended delay in the
ground breaking for the new
building. College authorities now
feel that material , availabilities
-will'permit, construction, to begin
sometime during 1952.
All-College Cabinet, foreseeing
the delay, recommended' the ac
tion to the board last spring.
The, fee was' authorized by stu
dent government to help pay con
struction and maintenance costs
for the proposed building, to be
built on Holmes Field, south of
Osmond Laboratory.
A model of the building is on
display on the balcony of the
lobby in Old Main.
