TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, i952 THE DAILY TAR HEEL VAGF SEVEN Wo Charge For Athletic c ft I venrs'oays armn ell GRINNELIi, la. (I.P.) Aboli tion of charges to the public for athletic games has been strongly advocated by the Grinnell Col lege faculty both for Grinnell and for all other colleges and univer-' sities, it was revealed here. It was learned that a four-page credo "intended, to spell out in specific terms the attitude of Grin nell College toward the program of intercollegiate athletics, to de fine our interpretation of the 'spirit' of amateur athletic com petition, and to present to the faculties of the Midwest' confer ence colleges the results of our thinking" was passed by faculty vote recently. - President Samuel N. Stevens is widely known to be against col legiate professionalism, although the report passed originated in the Educational Policies committee and the Committee on Intercol legiate Athletics of this institution. The report was presented to the meeting as having the full ap proval of the coaching staff of the college. Abolition of spring football was another tenet of the passed docu ment "No off-campus group shall have control of athletic policies, the same document reads, and continues: It is tne . essence 01 this proposal that no group of alumni, 'friends of the college; sports promoters, booster clubs 'sidewalk' alumni, or any other person not an integral part of the physical education department the faculty, or administration o the college shall have a voice in determining either policy or pro cedure for the athletic program. Campus consensus on this cam pus seemed to be that while foot ball here could not be a box-office attraction in the foreseeable fu ture, basketball is very definitely a "paying proposition," and fha Grmnell acceptance of the no box office charge" would be fel in that sport. - Echoes of the Beloit College suspension of last spring were seen in the Grinnell faculty ac tion, for while no reasons for the suspension have ever been made public it is common knowledge that sports are paying off in the TThf fltM n r all 3 - i v. v.iUmv.u,ucuu is cased on our main points: (1) Intercollegi ate athletics are for the benefit of the students, supplying those students with a focal point for1 group activity and shared emo- icmal experiences; (2) Intercol- egiate athletics must operate on1 a strictly amateur basis with no financial profit accruing to the student participants, to the col- ege, or to the coaching staff: (3) Intercollegiate athletics must be I administered as an integral part of the physical education depart ment, and may not be used as "a basis for exploitation of students, or for extensive institutional pro-! motion; (4)' Intercollegiate ath letics must be controlled in the' same manner that all other in stitutional activities are manag ed." Where Grinnell goes from there seems at this point not entirely clear even on the campus itself or on the part of sampled faculty members. Various faculty men have stated that the document does not in itself constitute an authoritative action" putting the specific sections into effect at Grinnell. Rather, they say, it is a recommendation to the Mid west conference. Terming current intercollegiate athletic troubles as "homemade,' President Stevens states that "It is outside of "the academic tradi tion for intercollegiate athletics to be thought of as a circus or spec tacle for the masses.
