WANTS ATHLETES
 ID GET SUPPORT
Proposal to Have Scholarships
 Awarded by Universities

-Baton Rouge. La. Dec. 14 Pj- The Southern Conference today had before it a resolution proposing an "open and understood" arrangement for the support Of athletes in the colleges and universities of the south.
 The resolution was presented at a round table discussion lasting until past midnight by Major W. H. Me- kellar, faculty chairman Of athletics at the University of the South.
 Briefly. Major McKellar proposed that each institution Of the South ern Conference be privileged to award scholarships or an cm olument otherwise designated, 10 athletes, the sum to be issued by voucher by university authorities sufficient to cover the athletes college fees, text books, lodging and fraternity or other college organization dues that the universities keep q complete a-.d public record Of such assistance; that no other funds should be re- ceiyed by the beneficiary. save from his parents or other legal guardians, and the receipt of such other funds from outside sources should result in the student being dismissed or in the failure Of the institution 10 do that. the expulsion of the institution from the conference.
 Major McKellar declared the gate receipts from football season could amply supply revenue for the sup port Of the athletes (which would eliminate the surrepttious subsidy now generally practiced, not only in the south. but in the nation at large"
 He declared it to be his opinion that there is no moral reason why men should not get an education through athletic ability. just as other men get an education through other specialized talents"
 IIo announced that he did not be lcvc his resolution ideal, but that Tit offers q way out of the present condition of affairs"
 Major Mcclellan indicated that he would ask for q rulinG on his reso- tuition today before adjournment Of the annual session of the conference.

swagger complacently in, with some assurance of an advantage.
 Nudity will be sectional. It will. for instance, be important to DOT ton of M Carrolls productions, and it will be qualified with NJ. Ziegfeld. Vincent lcreedley and Messrs, Man del and Schwab inform me that it is important at the moment. Both of these concerns have done very well by presenting the Chorinus Ameri- cana in her most hoyden state. A little suggestion is more danger ous thing than an acre of naked ness, they will inform you.
 Nor does M. Freedley believe that tastes in chorines vary much from season to season.
 He believes in freshness and sym metry, with the audience inclined to look out for it's own curves.
 Sun-tan on Stage, Too
 The influence of the sun-tan vague also is going to be felt. At least two forthcoming productions will features numbers in which the mer- " m2ldenS are tanned to a ma hogany brown. As a matter of fact a large number of young ladies of the ensemble have achieved healthy tans in the Long Beach theatrical colony, which has been thriving this summer. And they have found themselves in considerable demand.
 According to M. Ziegfeld, who has been somewhat of a style set ter, the American girl is beginning to need less glorificaton. She is be- ginning to glorify herself She grows gradually more athletic, more versa tile, more supple and attractive. And because she does, the audience will begin to ask for types that are a bit heftier-while remaining sym metriCal.
 And, of course, they'll get what they want.
