PAGE TWO Athletic Policy is Explained Ernest B. McCoy, director of athletics, yesterday clarified the University regulation concerning the sending of athletes to national championship athletic events. Defending national titlists and Eastern champions will auto matically be permitted to participate, McCoy said. Any other athlete who, in the opinion of the coach of the sport involved, could gain team points, will also be permitted to take part in national champion ship meets, McCoy explained. McCoy pointed out that there is no set ruling on who will be permitted to participate and that the ultimate decision will be'made after consultation with the coach involved. Last year, McCoy noted, the entire gymnastics team was sent to the national championship meet in Syracuse. He said that this was done after consultation with Gene Wettstone, Nittany gym coach., McCoy said he has spoken with the coaches of all the varsity sports at the University in con nection with the plan. He ex plained that he has been assured full cooperation and that the plan has worked satisfactorily since it was put into effect about two years ago. “If any coach feels that one of his athletes should be allowed to participate because of his in spirational value to the squad, he will be permitted to do so,” Mc- Coy said. The purpose of the plan is to help cut down on expenses and at the same time permit all deserv ing athletes to participate in na tional intercollegiate champion ship meets. Mix Resigns From Soph Class Group Shirley Mix, fourth semester physical education major, has re signed from the sophomore class committee appointed to investi gate the extent to which Lion and State Parties have carried out planks of their fall campaign platforms. Miss Mix, the defeated Lion Party candidate for sophomore secretary-treasurer, said in a statement announcing her resig nation, “It is apparent the com mittee is. a stacked, partisan ef fort with its findings pre-deter mined, and I cannot conscientious ly let my name be used.” Neither sophomore class pres ident Hugh Cline nor Rudolph Lutler, chairman of the commit tee, was available for comment. Lewis Goslin, Lion Party vice clique chairman, commenting earlier on Cline’s formation of the committee, stated, “It’s amazing that the sophomore class pres ident is unaware of the status of the very program on which he ran. After all, the clique chair man of the State Party said in an article appearing in the Daily Collegian that most of the work would be handled by Hugh Cline. Surely, he doesn’t need a com mittee to learn how much work he has done to enact his own program.” Indian Debate Set for Feb, 17 Resolved: That Indian neutral ity is the only way to world peace will be the topic of discussion' at the international debate set for 8 p.m. Feb. 17 in Schwab.
