The following excerpts are taken from an editorial in the Daily Dartmouth of May 8.

The Old story that the Admissions Office doesn't know how to choose freshmen is an old wives' tale. Nevertheless, coaches still claim that they are not getting a sufficient number of athletes.

Responsibility for this inadequecy does not lie with the admissions system. It lies elsewhere. Just where is elsewhere?

Elsewhere is a lack of scholarship funds. . . This year, 300 men classified as "needing and deserving" aid were turned away . . . only men who meet the "whole man" requirement, who are more than athletes or "brains" are considered for aid. Yet there is still not enough scholarship endowment to go around. . .

At present, the income from scholarship endowments is $158,000 per year. Add to that $150,000 . . . Alumni Fund . . . plus loan and unrestricted funds plus employment . . . the total is $475,000 per year. It seems large on first sight, but dreadfully small in comparisson with other schools. It seems less than paltry (since) an extraordinarily high percentage of "whole man" athletes need aid.

To solve the problem on a short-run basis, the Alumni Fund has earmarked any surplus over its '52-'53 goal of $600,000 for scholarship endowment. . .

. . . elsewhere also lies in an inadequate recruiting program--in a failure to . . . attract candidates for admission . . . the coaches can be provided with more athletes and the College with a more qualified freshman class.

In the South particularly, recruiting is weak . . . one man cannot recruit in a large area. . . . And most alumni clubs have shown consistant apathy. The only solution is undergraduate recruiting.

Green Key began an experimental system of undergraduate talks to high and prep schools during spring recess. It was highly successful. . .

Right now, the NEW Green Key is faced with the problem of extending this program, of organizing a large undergraduate recruiting system. Plans for this program have been tendered the Administrations Office. It is up to the NEW Green Key to make these plans and make them into a workable system--a system that provides for talks by team captains, by Green Key men, by any qualified undergraduate.

If this is done, a few of the coaches' complaints will be eliminated and the College will be able to bank on a steadily increasing stream of applicants for admission. If this is done, Green Key will have fulfilled its status as a service organization in a more important, a more lasting realm.
