The motion was made and carried that
the student body OF Brown university ex-
press it's sentiment OF adhering strictly To
the present rules as long as We have
them.
''It cannot be said that the sentiment
for this point is unanimous. and appar-
emily no argument can be reached on this
point. Both Wekert. member OF the
athletic board and Win Hoye, captain OF
the baseball team. spoke 10 the effect
that the control of athletics was not go-
ing to be turned over to the student body
until next year. and in the meantime, why
students take the moral control on them
selves this spring and do the dirty wsrk?
While the faculty and board are I'm con-
trol let them decide on questions of eligi-
bility. Hoye said in part; I'VE have an
athletic board. Every man has right 10
try for the team. II the board sees fit
10 let him play, why should any impress
sion OF sentiment from the student body
keep him off. As long as the athletic
board exists let ,Iem do as they wish,
and when we get the control OF athletics
We will do as we wish"

ference OF opinion and IL was deemed ad-
visable 10 carry the discussion no furth-
