Upon recommendation of the Un dergraduate Athletic Association the Yale athletic board has seen fiti to remove one of the oldest of its injustices concerning the athletic award-that of giving minor let- ters only to winning teams during season. From now on, Yale wil give a standard minor letter re- gardless of whether the season is successful or not. Michigan's system of varsity a- wards has a very definite majo and minor significance. It was suggested several years ago that a standardized award be given foi all four major sports with a slight- ly smaller award for minor athletic contests which would be, however standard both in design and style The advisability of other plans which were proposed last year by the "M" club and other campus organizations interested in athletic matters was discussed, and much comment resulted, but no action. For half a dozen years, athletic directors, coaches, players, friend of the varsity teams have beer quoted again and again as being in favor of either one plan of stand- ardization or another. Last year a very definite action was begun when information w a s secured from all the other Big Ten schools concerning the granting of awards This information was drawn ur into a letter which was circulated among "M" club members and sev- eral meetings were held which made the standardization proposal seem more sure than ever. Then suddenly, nothing was heard of the proposal and the idea was dropped Why? It is our contention that the ac- tion thus begun should be executed as soon as it is possible for the "M" club to again meet and discuss the problem. Postponement of the action to a date closer to the end of school would only mean drop- ping the whole problem and losing whatever work has been done to- ward that goal which seemed so very near last May. Yale has al- ready taken definite steps toward correcting a major evil in its ath- letic system. It is our task and duty to tackle a like injustice and get it out of the way once and for all. o Editorial Comment 0-- THE MONITOR SYSTEM (From the Yale Daily News) On several occasions the NEWS has commented on the monitor sys- tem and stated the belief that offenses were such as to warrant a reconsideration of the system and a correction of its faults. Before and after vacation periods and week-ends, the number of cases where the monitors are asked to mark students present when they are really absent, swells perceptibly, and more often than not, the monitor is persuaded to comply. As we have pointed out before, the monitor system is closely con- nected with the whole social struc- ture of the undergraduate body. The monitors have personal friends in each class, and find it distaste- ful to refuse their requests. At the same time, they are not justified in juggling their accounts, even when friendship and the desire for social good-will are concerned. On the ,.- P E N S M IAND DRAM A Screen RelectionsNC L .
