Letters to the editor ({ nnlmueil jrom pane 2) everything, Is It that he wants tin to believe he Is carrying a ( ross? I have never read one of his letters when he PliAIBED anyone, but I must admit I miss getting to read all of your pa pers as the sun sometimes bleaches It out before I can get to it. There is a rumor, how ever, that he will soon write a letter to praise the Lane Coun ty Democratic Committee to keep them from looking like fools after passing his resolu tion, I think rather than it being a cross that Mr. Monger Is car rying -it Is a chip on his shoul der. VVhut ever happened to Mr. Monger to make him hate ath letics so? Is it feasible that he was taken out of a baseball game in grammar school for a pinch hitter with the bases loaded Just when he had a chance to reap glory with a mx hundred foot home run? It has been said that Mr. Monger believes there is a solid difference between mind a n d body and that If the human race lx to survive, wi' must develop ONLY the mind. In response to this radical thinking, I would like lo say that when mind and body were thought to be two separate entities, man suffered by not getting the best educa tion possible. But, when man came to understand the human organism and Its need for whole ness, education became educa tion THROUGH the physical. With this view, physical educa tion has concern for emotional responses, personal relation ships. group behaviors, mental learnings, and other intellectual, social, emotional, and esthetic outcomes. The dichotomy of mind and body lias been aban doned in scientific circles, how e v e r, physiology, psychology, .sociology, and modern philos ophy recognize the fact of or ganising unity. Does Mr. Mon ger (?G.P.A.) disagree with most thinking men on this fact? I would like to know his specific reasons to compare them with all the NOTED men who think otherwise. FA'EKY WHEKK is a democ racy, people are given the op portunity to excel in what they do best, as long as it benefits the whole society. If it were left np to hlr. Monger ( ?G.P.A.i the athletes would be separated from the intellects. It would almost be a crime to let one person excel in both. They would probably ban athletics at great universities known for both such as Stanford and Harvard. If the athletes do not oppose the plan of the intellects receiving money to further their skills, why should the intellects oppose the athletes from further de velopment of their skills. Who is qualified to judge which one is of the most importance in the survival of man against his environment? Certainly not Mr. Monger (7C.P.A). Both the intellects and the athletes are advancing and neither are detrimental to society. In fact to stress this point, I would like to quote Mr. John Kennedy, President of The United States, "The strength of our democracy Is no greater than the well be iiiK of our people.” If you arc the smartest man in the world and can't protect yourself or what you believe in Vjecau.se of your atrophied muscles, what good is intelligence to you? You have to have both! ! Get off our backs Mr. Monger ( 7G.P.A.) until you show us you have both. Have you ever taken the physical fitness test here at Ore gon ? Would you be willing to take it? Or, what was your score if you did take it? I know athletes who made the honor roll last, term, contrary to your opinion, and I RESPECT their judgment. Do you know any intellects who tried and couldn't make the athletic teams? The main thing Mr. Monger seems to be opposed to is the money being sent to the athletic office from tuition funds. He says the majority doesn't get any return out of their money. How many students attend the games? I would be willing to bet over sixty per cent of the student body picked up their athletic cards so they could get into the game they wanted to sec FREE. Did Mr. Monger ( 7G.P.A.) pick up his or doesn't he fully support the school of his choice? Mr. Monger (7G.P.A.) wants an election. How about an election on each and every one of the following places tuition money Is sent to see if the majority uses and wants their money sent there: (only a partial list) 1. Eugene Civic Music Asso ciation 2. Student Union Jazz Room 3. University Building Fund 4. Student Union Recorded Classics Room* 5. Student Bo<ly Officers Pay 6. Oregon Daily Emerald 7. Oregana H. .Student Health Services I'm sorry Mr. Monger ( ?G.P.A.) but in an election of this kind, the University would suffer as well as the students. That is why you can't have your election. Why don’t you stop thinking about yourself, shave off your beard, and think of the whole student body and this wonderful University for awhile ?
