Sir: You are a Penn State student and thus you are entitled to watch any athletic event on this campus involving Penn State teams. Your matric card not only admits you to these events, but gives you the right to yell and shout as much as you want. You can say just about anything you desire and Saturday night you • I rendering earri are g inter p er e s o s t n e a d l in e r t v h i e o e c h t o a 1 l o e t n n g e e rs of • You are interested in being in a business of •I• your own with Company support and • training.

He didn't. and you don't, con sider the fact that State was playing competition way over its head for the financial help it was getting. The same is true this year and will be true next year too, but we hear rumors that things will get better. No, you don't know these things and are too ignorant to consider such factoff You don't realize that players like Jerry West: Oscar Robeitson and Darral Imhoff are probably being paid to go to school. But the Paul Sweetlands. the John Phillipses, and Jake True bloods are not They're here' for the fun of the game and they give 100 per cent all the time against ,the likes of Purdue, North Caro !lina State, West Virginia, Temple and such. No sir, don't blame Paul Sweetland, John Egli or anyone on the basketball team, blame the athlet i c administration. They're the ones who have pro. Portioned the money from the Levi Lamb fund (the athletic aid program). You don't realize that football, not basketball, pays the bills around here and that's your an swer why the basketball here isn't as good as it is at West Virginia, Purdue, or North Carolina State. But football pays many of the hills at places like North Carolina State, West Virginia and Purdue, and their basketball teams man age to do fairly well But you must keep in mind that our athletic administration has ideals. It takes pride in help ing every team, all nine. Foot ball is king and next comes track. After that it's be thank ful for what you get. Now you're asking why our gymnastics and wrestling teams do so well. They get the same fi inancial help as basketball. But 'there isn't as much competition among other major schools in gymnastics and wrestling. So Mr. Fan, the next time you ,come into Rec 'Hall for a basket ball game—there's only one left now try to remember a few of these things and try to remember that the Paul Sweetlands are just students like you. Then try to remember that the IPaul Sweetlands love basketball (Continued on page ten)
