ATHLETICS FOR ALL
The Athletic association of the
University of Michigan merits a
virile slap on the back for its main-
tenance of the Ferry Field tennis
courts free of charge this summer.
During the course of previous
Summer Sessions the association
has fixed a fee on the privilege of
using the courts and in many cases
it has been prohibitive and not a
little inconsistent with the associa-
tion's policy of "Athletics for All."I
What is even more gratifying
than the "open gate" policy at
Ferry Field is the extensive and
really beneficial and actual pro-
gram of intramural athletics put
into operation by Paul Washke, as-
sistant director of intramural ath-
letics;.
The enrollment of the Summer
Session, composed as it is for the
most part of older than "of age"
students, wants the term for a play
period as well as a two month ses-
sion of graduate study. The sys-
tem - developed in athletics this
summer concords exactly -7ith this
desire.
