assignment decides. Every member
must give up personal pleasures
for the success of the team. Coop
Grafton, self-sacrifice-they're the
keynotes of football. The football
player must have another attribute
he must be willing to go all the
way. When he goes back to rush
the punter, he must make the su-
preme effort. When he has been
given the ball, he must gain
ground. The more challenging his
opponent, the greater is his effort.
The celebration in the dressing
room after the game is won, the
singing in the bus on the way
home, the exultation that comes
from being a part of a successful
team; truly, the rewards of achieve
ment are great"

STADIUM FUND

Hundreds of Contributions

OF the hundreds of contributions
to the University of Delaware's
stadium fund now being received
at campaign headquarters in Pur-
nell Hall at Newark, 80 per cent
are coming from alumni who never
before have aided a U. of D. fund
campaign.
Reporting on this figure, Fund
Director Edgar P. Reese, Jr., term
ed it "a remarkable figure-one
which indicates the broad base of
appeal which the proposed stadium
offers to all our former students.
He calculated that since a maj
ority of u. of d. alumni and alum
nae have contributed to at least
one of the several past fund cam
paigns, the 80 per cent additional
contributors probably will raise the
total of participants among the
5000 former students to nearly 100
per cent.

ers are active within the state, re-
eeiving funds from the $500 alum
nj living within Delaware. In addi-
tion to these personal solicitations
fund appeals are going by mail to
the alumni living in other states
Meanwhile, Director of Athletics
William D. Murray has informed
the campaign workers that "the
drive for funds to build a stadium
on our campus is more than that
it is an expression of the spirit OF
those who take pride in Delaware y
"It is", he said, ian opportunity

There should be ample work
space on both sides of the sink.
The range should be near the
dining room. Counter space and a
cabinet for utensils should be
within easy reach.
The magazine advises allowing
kitchen space for a large refrig-
orator, although a small refrig-
orator might be installed original
ly. There is a growing preference
for large refrigerators, many of
which have frozen food compart-
ments. As a family increases in
size, more refrigerator space is

sense tells us we won't. Cyni-

many people won't. But hope
and faith tell us that lots of
people will try and are trying
and that they are everywhere.
People of good will, people who
want to practice what most
everyone breaches, are all around
US in every occupation, in every
group in our society and some
just need a good healthy shove
to launch them on a career of

MANY CANCER

The Massachusetts division Of

which spearheads the amending

against cancer In this common
wealth, faces 1850 with "every
anticipation that 1t win be a year
Of decisive progress" DR. .Lund
said.
Year-end figures Of the divi-
sior demonstrate conclusively
that although nearly 5000 per-
sons died Of cancer in Massa-
chusetts over the last recorded
12-nlonth period, many other
lives undoubtedly were saved by
the Society's work of education
and financing research in New
England'S great medical centers.
However, DR.. Lund added, be
tween one-third and one-half Of
all cancer deaths could have
been cured had they been treated
early enough. The rate Of cancer
durability is much higher than
has been commonly realized.
With the aid Of x-ray, radium
an dsurgery, thousands Of lives
which were lost might have been
saved had the victims gone to
their doctors earlier"

Continued from Page 124)
This first CCI study, Action for
Unity, has become basic guide
IN the struggle against prejudice
and for equal rights and treat
ment for all men.
Perhaps the most important
finding of Action for Unity was
the disclosure that one of the best
ways to promote better inter-
group relations is to interest a
number of organizations and in
dividualS in a problem which af-
fects all of them, and to get them
working together toward its So
luton. This is a very different
approach from that w h C h asks
people of different groups to
come together to express good
will' or that which urges that a
few highly placed Community
leaders" use their individual good
offices to solve problems which
are troubling minority groups.
CCPs basic principle is that we
can best reduce prejudice not by
preaching, but by working to-
gether with other community
groups on very clear-cut and
specific projects-projects which
are directly or indirectly related
to the causes of ill will or the
Illustrations of people in the COM
munity. Under the right condi-
tons a cooperative endeavor to
fix a fence, improve garbage dis
posal, provide or pave a play
ground, or improve the schools
can create the climate of good
will which is a pre-condition for
sounder intergroup relations.
