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 ?
