B. House yesterday. House asked for the coopera tion of all students in future games here to correct the situa tion. The chancellor said he was i sure Student Body President Jess Dedmond would a do everything in his power to tjreak the case. ' "It must be left1 up to the stu dents ana tneir representatives to get down lo the truth," House added. , Dedmond called a meeting yesterday afternoon with Uni versity Attorney J. A. Williams and Assistant Dean of Students Bill Friday in an attempt to sift the information thus for avail able to the authorities and repre sentatives, of the student body. Coach Bob Fetzer, University athletic director, commented yes terday, "The whole affair is de parable." When asked about the sale of student passbooks which were going for "not a cent under $100," Feter shrugged and said, "I don't see how people can be f i foolish as to buy student pass books which arc non-trasferable which will be confiscated if presented by persons other than those to whom the book was issued." F( tzr r continued, "If students soil their passbooks, they are grossly misusing the privileges extended to them as members of TVio tne Athletic association.. H passbook is really an identifica- . noiioi men status ty student, and are issued to orotect the students and insure Tcstudo?

When asked if any action would be taken by the Athletic association, Fetzer said, "We are going to take the matter up with the Student council and Dean of Students, Mr. Weaver. We were at a great disadvantage, having such a big game only two days after school started. There was no opportunity for the adminis tration to get all I.D cards with pictures made." He added that there is no in formation yet on how the pass books reached the black market. "If the pass books came through channels other than students, the source must be located and 'dealt with as soon as possible. If they came through a premeditated and organized studvnt source then these students have taken advantage of us and their fellow college mates."
