THE FRESNO STATE COLLEGE COLLEGIAN
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2i
On Our Last Fling at the
Business of Paying Athletes
The Collegian is peculiarly '
out if it—theoretically the official organ of the
Associated Students — has taken a stand diametrically opposed to that of the students by '
defying the sacrosanct status quo a few weeks
ago by publishing a bit on the business of paying athletes.
It is quite possible that The Collegian has
been wrong all the way. If such is the case, this
publication is ready to print a lust of apologies
so long as to put the Japanese foreign office to
shame.
Our belief has been based on the following
type of reasoning:
Football is an extra-curricular activity.
The Collegian is an extra-curricular activity.
The University Street Playhouse is still another type of extra-curricular activity which
the college affords.
The Collegian does not doubt that the entire
caliber of this publication could be raised tremendously—but it must be done by going out
and hiring experienced journalists. Such practice would stop The Collegian frsm being an
extra-curricular activity and place in in a commercial basis.
The University Street Playhouse presents
dramas that are generally considered better
than average for a group of amateur actors.
But no one will deny that the caliber of dramatic presentations could be raised considerably
with the proselyting—or should we say, recruiting— of experienced actors from Broadway.
There is no doubt that such acquisition would do
much for the playhouse.
Unfortunately, that is not the philosophy
upon which the playhouse or The Collegian operate. The policy employed by these groups is
strictly this: To present, with available student
talent interested in the project,
. piece of work that can be produced. Such attempts are laudatory.
But the analogy breaks down in case of athletics. Here, those in charge arc not satisfied
to work with student talent. They seek fresh
talent from abroad.
By so doing, they take such activities from
the field of extra-curriculars and put them on
a business basis. Hen who believe they are
working for the good of the college create
"scholarships" with which they would disguise
Business under the cloak of extra-curricular activities.
The Collegian, for one, does not think this
is right. If athletes make money for the college. The Collegian believes they should be
paid. Nothing would be fairer than to give
them a monthly salary.
It is the underhanded way of hiding one
thing under the name of another that irritates
The Collegian.
We are interested in hearing how far we dif-
" ferirom the majority of the students.
A Good Solution for
The College 'White Elephant'
Since the Student Council has resumed activity this semester several suggestions have emanated forth that have received favorable acceptance by the student body, which has in turn encouraged action and improvement of several •
items affecting the status of the college.
One of the most plausible moves was the discussion and proposed action to convert the social
hall of the college into a club room to be used
by the students as a center for social gatherings.
Need of such facilities has long been recognized on the campus, but the recent: drive by
library officials to correct the continual turmoil
