Editor Disappi Footl Why Not Buy A Team" Finances And Spirit Of College Would Be Greatly Improved By Purchasing Good Gridsters Louisville, Ky. (ACP)-H o n e s t, straightforward-and astounding-i s the solution of athletic worries pro $' posed by The Cardinal of the Univer sity of Louisville: "Why Don't We Buy a Good Football Team?" Instead of joining in the charges of professionalism broadcast this year as every year by college editors, instead of adding their moans to the cries of defeat that surround every losing team, the edi tors of The Cardinal offer what is to them the only answer: "Why Don't We Buy a Good Football Team?" "It is apparent to all followers of the game that college football is perhaps the leading commercial investment of institu tions of higher learning," says The Cardi nal. "There are fewer and fewer schools which, like the University (of Louisville) cherish the fond illusion that gridiron stars dash forth on the field after gruel ling hours of practice to do or die for love of dear old Alma Mater, with the dollars that trickle into the University's coffers only an incidental consideration. Football where it is played hardest and best is frankly a business proposition. "Football revenues are the mainstay of elaborate gymnasiums, spacious and beau tiful stadiums and playing fields, the whole program of minor athletics, and student unions and other campus buildings in universities that are materialistic enough and realistic enough to recognize the fact that you've got to have money. And sad as it may seem it is football as often as it is academic standing that brings fat en dowments from wealthy friends and alumni and spreads the fame of the in stitution far and wide. "We want the administration of the University to cast all the lace trimmings from the football situation and shave it down to a core of hard facts. We need on the campus of the University of Louis Business Training is Essential to Everyone, Par ticularly College Men and Women. Day, Night, and Special Classes.

L. Green, who gave the fourth of a series of talks on the history of the university in freshman chapel Wednes day. Dr. Green gave some interesting facts about some great men who have served the University as presidents and professors. Among them were Jonathanis Maxcy who was the University's first president, and Thomas Cooper who was ranked among the most learned men that this nation has every boasted by Thomas Jefferson. He was a man who's mind took in nearly every subject and he could speak on almost any phrase. R. W. Barnwell came to the Univer sity and spent the rest of his life here, the speaker pointed out, add;g that "he was one of the greatest speakers the. United States ever produced." Dr. James Woodrow was president after the Civil War. lIe served from 1891 to 1897. Dr. Crane Sends Letter Of Thanks To Bell "Your characteristically generous hospitality, and the many thoughtful courtesies, in addition to the superb opportunity which you afforded me in making it possible for me to speak to the students of the two colleges makes me most sincerely apprecia tive and grateful," Dr. Henry H. Crane, conductor of the recent Re ligious Emphasis week here, wrote to R. C. Bell this week. -. a. o. ville new buildings, especially a student union building. We'd like a swimming pool in a new gymnasium, plenty of new courses and equipment of one or an other, and so on and so on. And we'd like a good football team that could meet outstanding competition successfully, first because it will make possible the fulfill ment of our other wants, and secondly because we like good football. "To get a good football team, one pays for it. One offers good jobs with satis factory salary and not too much work to local high school graduates who other wise accept good jobs at Alabama, Michi gan, Ohio State, Kentucky, or other uni versities which have already fallen from the heights of blissful idealism. One goes out of one's way to do all sorts of nice things for potential football timber, wav ing scholarships temptingly in the air at banquets and prep schools. And one in vests rather heavily in a leading football coach, who usually brings along a flock of clear-eyed youngsters wvho know some thing about football.

Perhaps there aren't, maybe it's all superstition, but Dr. Alexis Carrel, the Nobel prize biologist who has kept a chicken's heart beating in a bottle since 1912, says that he at least is unwilling to deny it. Thought transference, intuition and clairvoyance are logically provable phenomena, says Dr. Carrel, and may be, after all, there are ghosts, and may be little people in the trees in the full of the moon. "The existence of telepathic phenom ena, as well as other metaphysic phenomena, is not accepted by most biologists and physicians. They are hidden in the enormous mass of super stitions, lies and illusions accumulated for centuries by mankind... it is nevertheless a fact that they are a normal, although rare, activity of the human being." Only persistent laboratory experi mentation can tell us, Dr. Carrel be lieves, whether there are ghosts and "little people in the trees," or not. "No one can say there aren't. No one can say anything until he can prove it." "-Ur. s. o. Cadets Hold Y Vespers In Chapel Sunday Clemson Students Brought Here By Campus Y. M. C. A.

RECTOR MAKES FRIENDSHIP TALK "Friendship is a thing that each of us in this room has," declared Miss Sara -Rector, University co-ed, in her devotional at the Carolina Christian Service club which met in Flinn Hall last Wednesday night. "The deCfinition of friendship is a sacred trust, unselfish love, and purity at its best. It is confidence unlimited wherein joys andl sorrowvs are shared alike. Friendship is strength and stim ulation to the starved soul." The speaker named the type of friends one should have, pointing out that the bonds of friendship are sym pathy, sincerity, respect for the feel ings of each other, and a mutual trust and love. Misses Katie Lou Craft and Mabel Lyon joined the club. There were 27 miemblers present at the meeting. Bailey Publishes Story Along With Roy Morse Thomas L.

Morse has published an article in the bulletin of the Geological Survey of America, "Geological Observations in the Petaluma District, California," (dealing with the oil peology of that region. Mr. Bailey, who is now with the Shell Oil Company, has taught geology at Sewanee, received a Ph. D from the University of California and worked with the Texas Geological Survey, since graduating from the University of South Carolina. about the sordid facts of it all, but the athletic situation as it now exists makes us feel too frankly brutal to be gentle. We don't care a hoot whether the Uni versity goes about shouting at the top of its lungs that good jobs are open to grid iron huskies with a high-school diploma, or whispers the facts amid a veil of secrecy-just so long as it does it.
