Medical Students Rebel
Against U-L Activity Fee
Taxation Without Representation
Is Cry As Tickets Are Returned
By ALICE KLINE
"TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION' was the theme of
the Medical School when they revolted agaiiJSt the Athletic Activity
Fee by collecting and returning their athletic tickets to Acting Presi­dent
Stamm's office on Wednesday, October 2. The question of whether
or not students, who are unable by reason of curricular activities to at­tend
all the football games, should be assessed the usual five d<>llars
imposed upon all students of the University was the main issue of th
revolt.
Following this open declarati'On of opposition to the fee, the vaTiou~
classes in the Medical School composed a letter to President S tamm,
stating their grievances (See ctJpy of letter on page 4). On Friday morn­ing,
October 4, President Stamm .and Dean Davis, Dean of Men, met
with the presidents and representatives from the Medical School stu­dent
body to discuss .this matter.
The claim was made by the Medical students that the fee was im­posed
unfairly, since the various duties necessary for the regular med-ical
curriculum made it impossible for the students to attend all the
games .and some, none at tall. Thus they would definitely be sending
money to the Univeqity for something from which they could not pos­sibly
gain anything. It was the general opinion among the Medical
School students that it sh'Ould be a voluntary matter in this case, allow­ing
those that could 'attend +to do so, and eliminating the necessity for

The price wm be something be­tween
$3.00 and $4.00, depending
on the number of students attend­ing.

judging, numbers were assigned
the contestants and the· finalist.;
were selected according to num­ber
rather than names.
The announcement of the win­ners
was made by Jim Muldoon,
who was acting director of the
Pep Club prior to the final selec­tion
of the cheerleaders. The head
cheerleader will now take the
reins of the organization. He or
she is to be selected by the mem­bers
of the squad, themselves, at
a later date.
Until plans have been fully so­lidified
and the new cheerleaders
have gained more experience, the
team will be advised by Bill
Stansbury, cheerleader of past
seasons.
Said Ann Carter, the only mem­ber
of the squad w.ith past exper­ience
in leading yells at this Uni­versity,
"We have a very talented
squad and we are looking forward
to a very successful season. We
have several new cheers and lots

The tryouts were attended by a
large b<>dy of students who coop­erated
with the contestants and,
using their exuberance as a stan­dard,
the new "lung pumpers"
should have little difficulty in
rocking the stands at futu·re ath­letic
events.
