Doesn't Have Degree One of the ironical twists of the situation is that Sid Lane has not received his degree yet. He still has five quarters remaining before he can qualify for a diploma. It is highly questionable whether a white athlete would have been considered for the to position if he still had five quarters to go one make but get his degree, which can't help wonder if the school is bending over backwards for the benefit of the Negro. However, on the other hand, if you were the coach of the team and felt it was imperative to have a Negro on the staff you would go looking for a and can teach it, Negro who knows the game fully and whom athletes, the Negro who understands and the school. to to be trust you can loyal you more imCertainly those characteristics are portant than a degree.

Helped Negroes Many of these athletes have taken advantage of the opportunity by fulfilling requirements to receive a diploma, while many others, probably more than half,, did not avail themselves of the" opportunity to receive a diploma. Of course, there are a certain number who used the athletic scholarships as a springboard to success in the pro ranks. Most noteworthy is Roy Shivers who signed a $300,000 bonus to play with the St. Louis Cardinals, and there are others who are holding down enviable salaries as a result of college athletic scholarships.

JUNE 23. 1968 Having a Negro on the coaching staff, who understands the Negro position and yet who is also loyal to the head coach and loyal to the university, might be a very stabilizing factor in the situation. Certainly Lane is in a position to solve and prevent many problems. Coach Chuck Mills, upon announcing the hiring of Lane, was highly complimentary about the young, untried coach. He said, "He is as fine a person as I have been associated with. I am certain that he will be an outstanding leader as a coach as he was a player." out-of-sta- te 'Sherald James Roberson. j.Marv steplease and ' O Certainly it is obvious that the Negro athletes need some mature guidance in some of the decisions they face. Many of their decisions have been wrong because they have followed the wrong leadership. While the civil rights issue is burning hot around the nation and at college campuses, particularly in athletics, Utah State has been a leader in promoting the cause of the Negro. There have been many fine Negro athletes attend Utah State on full scholarships at the expense of the state taxpayer. A big majority athof these athletes have been has absolutely no letes to whom the taxpayer obligation.
