Lettermen's Club Born in 1962, the Lettermen's Club now claims thirty memo bers and is supposedly recognized as an "honorary society" of campus athletes. Not everyone is aware, including some of the members themselves, that the purpose of the organization is the development and continuance of mutual understanding between the athletic program, the administration, and the rest of the campus. Of course the usual essentials of a varsity club are emphasized: good sportsmanship, service to the college, teamwork, and scholarship. This year the club has functioned more actively. To create more student interest and enthusiasm in sports, the Lettermen showed films of the Green Terror football games, stepped up the publicity for intercollegiate athletics, sponsored a Spring Sports Carnival, and, perhaps most important, served as a center for debating the effects of intercollegiate athletics on the students. What do the students want? How do the athletes themselves view our sports program? Some proposals have been discussed that could expand the functions of the group: taking over the awards assemblies, improving regulation of awards for all sports, and officiating the intramural games.
