Not only do they cheer at games, but they also spend many hours practicing their cheers, making signs to publicize games, and promoting support for the teams among the students.

We the members of the 1970 Flag Football team would like to thank Coach Jim Bennett for his time and efforts he has given to us. Although we were not champs this season, he has taught us to oe winners. He ha» also taught us to be men by accepting our defeats and getting ready to tackle the proldem when it presents itself again. PROTESTS - (continued from page 2) increases the likelihood of increased student protest,” Dr. Hodgkinson writes. In a large institution protest affords some students one of the relatively few ways of being noticed. Professor Hodgkinson points out. In a large university, “individuals are bound to feel that they are part of a super system and that they have little power in relation to it.” Student involvement in the _ making of institutionalized' policy is not the answer to the problem of student unrest, Dr. Hodgkinson writes. Ironically, student involvement in institutional policy making may actually lead to increased student protest. Instead he feels that efforts will have to be made by the ; larger institutions to provide a sense of concem and “selective decentralization” if they are to humanize their campuses and remove some of the causes of student protest.
