. Athletic Funds Supplemented
The Student Activities Committee called a special meeting to ap
prove an appropriation of $149 from the contingent fund of the Uni
versity to send four cheerleaders to the game at West Point Saturday.
The Athletic Association had arranged to finance the trip for four
of the eight cheerleaders.
Fred LeClercq, president of student council, said, "We were quite
disturbed that the Athletic Department did not see fit to provide for
the expenses to the West Point game of four of the eight cheerleaders
elected by the students. This type of policy does not build school spirit.
The student council hopes that all of the cheerleaders will be provided
for on future student government-sponsored football trips."

A regular meeting of the Clario

last Tuesday, September 23, in the
Society's hall in Legare College.
At this time an informal debate
was held as to whether or not the
government of Communist China
should or should not be recognized
by the government of the United
States.
William Ernest Douglas con;
tended the affirroative, arguing
from the point that the United
States current position is one of
diplomatic irrationality.
The negative was argued by
