The athletic budget is smaller than it should be. At least there will be no barrier to athletics as there is now. Jake's reply was not long withheld. The answer lies rather in cooperation from students and administration alike in setting up a new athletic policy for Concordia. Athletics must be worked at not by one man or by one staff, but by the whole school.
Students can encourage their friends to come here.
Some organization is also needed to find the boys who should be coming to Concordia and encourage them to attend here. Because of the limitations of space I will omit further information and arguments which Coach Christiansen presented in our chat. They were all on the same subject and can be fairly well summarized in one of Jake's closing statements. Students, administration and the board of directors all should cooperate to set up a modern athletic policy at Concordia, a policy which will provide proper material for winning teams and Christian coaches. When athletic emphasis in a Christian college becomes such that winning is considered most important, the result is a distraction from the purpose of the institution.
