1--WE are at perfect ease and will
continue our athletic policy, exactly
as we have IN the past. There Is
absolutely no preference shown to
athletes in helping them to get Jobs
to earn their way through school
here at Georgetown any more than
there Is to students who are non.
athletes Little added.
There are any number 0f odd
jobs connected with a university
which boys can do to help defray
their expenses through school. And
there are many jobs which athletes
perform which other boys cannot
or do not do.
"The majority OF the boys work
ing their way through do It by odd
jobs. such as waiting on table and
other such duties
Certainly, there are athletes
doing 1t. Just as there are many
who are not on any az our
teams doing these Jobs. But why

Tor this?" Little asks.

through school so that they may
acquire 4 college education with
work enabling them to help pay for
their tuition just because they hap-
