Something TSeiv In Sports Ethics — CODES of ethics are always in teresting, and in printed form, especially if enclosed in nice frames, they add dignity to any office wall. Every so often revised codes are composed and promulgated by any number of organizations, represen tative of trade, business, profession al and fraternal bodies. They are always conceived, wo suppose and hope, in fine spirit, contain com mendable sentiments, and are wide ly advertised. The printed code invariably finds its way to tho office wall, which is its permanent resting place. There it stays, a monument to man’s im practical moments, when ho soars iC clouds forgetting that he has no wings. The latest '‘new code of ethics” is particularly interesting, because it aimg at a solution of an athletics problem important to most Amer ican universities. It was unanimous ly adopted at a recent meeting of the “Big Sixty” members of tho Western Athletic Conference, and steps are being taken to enforce its provisions, thereby giving it the appearance of a set of rules. Copies of the code have been sent to every alumni association of members of tho “Big Ten.” A penalty system for violators of the code is being worked out. The ethics, which are meant mainly to govern football, follow: “1. Scholarships, loans, and re mission of tuition shall not bo awarded on a basis of athletic skill and unofficial granting of financial aid by individuals, alum ni, organizations, or others whose primary object in granting aid shall be subsidy to an athlete will be considered as unethical. “2. Athletic directors and coaches shall not bv ifiitintion cor respond, distribute literature, or by personal interview of their own seeking attempt to recruit prospective athletes. It shall be considered legitimate for coaches and directors in speeches, answers to inquiries, or casual conversa tion to point out what they be lieve to be the advantages of at tending the university they repre sent. Coaches and directors shall be of active influence in discour aging questionable recruiting by alumni, students, and organiza tions. “3. Alumni and students as clubs, fraternities, informal groups, or individuals shall scrup ulously follow the same rules of conduct as expected of coaches and directors regarding recruiting of athletes and shall also do all in their power to prevent violation by others. They shall vigorously oppose unreasonable and unfair rushing of prospective athletes that will deprive them of free and deliberate choice. They shall recognize that the resorting to questionable recruiting methods is a manifestation of disloyalty and poor sportsmanship. “4. General or field secretaries of alumni associations and sim ilar officers shall be particularly careful to refrain from recruit ing activities. “5. Prospective athletes shall not be promised employment in or by the athletic department. After matriculation they may be em ployed, in necessary work if paid on a regular and reasonable scale if they give full service.” This code of ethics has the virtue of openly recognizing existent evils, and that is the first step in any re form movement. Concerted action is the only means of doing away with the race for athletic talent, in which prospects are often promised any thing but a mortgage on the various administration buildings. While this system has long been viewed with growing disfavor, there has been no one institution willing to take the lead in dis carding it. Each works with its eyes on tho others, and the result is a vicious circle. One might just as well oxpect one nation to dis arm lu tho hopo that others will follow tho example. As just another code of ethics, we would be inclined to scoff at the possibility of any good resulting from the Western Conference’s fine sentiments. Adherence to the code would mean the realization of a necessary house-cleaning in ath letics and the opening of the way to a more healthy plan. This step alone would not solve the problem, but it might be the entering wedge. Hut the newly-adopted code of i ethics, or rules, is going to have teeth—an interesting and unique de tail that has somehow been over looked in former gestures, thereby rendering them little more than graceful flatulency. ! More Youthful I Degeneracy ANOTHER eastern college stu dent has gone to jail, accord ing to a recent press dispatch; this time just because he slapped his girl friend. The lady, it seems, after cruelly breaking a date with him, answered his remonstrance with the information that he was less Ilian the dust beneath her patent heel and would he please remove himself forever from her particular horizon? —or words to that effect. Whereupon the young man prompt ly saw red or black or some other conventionally perturbing hue, and very appropriately “let fly.” Tie had probably been rereading thoso awful Tarzan books. The incident is simply another proof of the woeful lack of romance characterizing our modern civiliza tion. Any woman of fine percop I tions, Delilah, say, or Guinevere, would have been thrilled at the i enormity of a passion so feverishly brutal. To unceremoniously clap one's swain in the local hoosegow for nothing more than a spontan eous manifestation of thwarted ten i derness would have been the depths of unspeakably calloused obduracy. He it understood that the young woman herself was scarcely at fault. It is, rather, the age—an age that would doubtless characterize the ; fate of Romeo and .Tuliet as simply ! another student suicide.— H. A. Commun ications Hif a lutin’ Hardware To the Editor: I atn hoartilv in sympathy with your efforts to create a proper stim ulus and appreciation for the su perior university student. Solely on account of tit is sympathy I raise a few questions and humbly submit the following suggestion. In seeking to develop superior scholarship why should you not make use of such means as have been useful in promoting excellence in that time-honored and efficient in stitution, the army? Can it lie pos sible you are so befogged by schol astic speculation ns to be unmind ful of the successful operation of a system on our campus which bestows merit where merit is due and which also encourages the superior soldier to continue on his upward way which, in a striking manner, is the very thing you are trying to accom plish in an educational way? Take, for instance, the diligent recruit who early determines to ex cell in his military education. His application is noted. Presently he is rewarded with a decoration which proclaims in honest, forth right fash TfeSEVEN s SEERS The legislature has adjourned and the best politicians that money can buy have all gone to their repec tive homes, to get the spring plow ing started. We’ll probably see an ad some thing like this in the EMJSRALD in about a week: “Will the boy who once tried to steal our goat please try again. Delta Gamma.” • * • “AND NOW MY TAIL IS DONE,” SAID THE OX AS IIE LOOKED IN THE SOUP. Gretchen is learning how to drive her new Ford. She says this world is just one big forest of telephone poles. * # • Scientist tell us that light travels 229,796 kilometers a second. Light would seem to have some chance of getting from a 10 o’clock in the Music building to a 11 o’clock in Villard on time. * * * It will be great fun to pay 50 cents to see the California games played in the pavillion we’re al ready paying 515 a year toward building. • • • THE other day my FATHER got peeved WITH his eldest son’s HABIT of running out OF BLANK checks and SENT up a big FAT envelope containing TWO whole books of NICE fresh clean ones FOB mo to use and WHEN I first opened THEM up I didn’t THINK much about the INCIDENT but a little LATER I got to wondering IF DAD was a pessimist OR AN optimist to be DOING such a thing AND so I asked MARION Fhv which she THOUGHT it would bo AND she said he was NEITHER but a satirist INSTEAD. THANK. Jt is probably just a coincidence, ion here is a man better than the common run. This decoration may be a stripe on the left sleeve. It may be a notice on the left breast, something like a bin card, which reads: “Marksman,” or “Private, 1st Class,” such as the case may be. And so on up the ladder to mili tary honors by way of gold bars, silver bars, leaves and eagles to the highly regarded stars of the general. Thus are the steps symbolized be fore the eager eye of the recruit. And the apt response of the raw re cruit, or the university freshman or sophomore, in the past simply proves the worth of this system. As applied to the arts and sciences the plan is simple. Instead of al lowing the superior student to mope around the campus unrecognized, I suggest he be given a proper and suitable decoration for his left breast also. If he excells in re I ectivo thinking let it be known by the neat bin card: “Philosopher, 1st Class.” Or should he achieve dis tinction in geology let this become manifest by cardboard: “A-l Cook." The superior student will respond to this appreciative treatment much as does one promoted in the school of Mars by feeling more dignified and substantial. As for the excep tional studen 1 suggest he might be given bright spurs to wear, those without rowels of course, to lend dignity to his bearing, also to help him to keep his feet on a roll top desk. Significant insignia for the va rious schools could be chosen easily— typewriter ribbon chevrons for the journalists, or an emblem on their coat collar of crossed type writers. This detail could be easily worked out should you consider the plan to he suitable.

Methinks such action should be dealt with severely by the other members of the Harvard club.
