Describing sex as "a p. lit of everyone's lile," Campus Crusade
coordinator said the greatest problem among college
students is loneliness from which they too oltcn use sex as a re.1

for Christ
lief.

John Braun, national coordinator on the Crusade staff, told
students Wednesday night at the Sigma Chi Fraternity House,
that sex's purpose in marriage is to give "the maximum relationship that a man and woman can ever find."
Braun has sxkcn at colleges across the country and appeared
on the platform during the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley in
196-1-

"The idea of the New Morality is stupidity," Braun says. "Sex
is for marriage." He referred to the Bible in saying, "The wedding
ceremony is the sexual act. The church ceremony is merely a

public contract."
Stating that "American society is sick due to its immorality
not just its sexual immorality," Braun
said, "Today is the toughest
jme in history- for the student and sex. Christ came to help
those who need him.

At Ford Motor Company we're always looking
for better ideas. But not with a crystal ball.
We do it with background and brain.
We do it by seeking answers for
questions such as: Should a profitable central
city dealership be relocated to a growing suburban
location? What's the sales potential for a new
personal car?
And we do it by trying to solve problems that
haven't been faced till now. Problems such as: Is an
electric car the answer to city traffic? How will
people travel in the year 2000?
In short, our better ideas come from better
people. And we take extra steps to get them. Ford

Has Rupp Choked?
Head Basketball Coach Adolph
Hupp has disgraced himself, his
athletes and the University community in the manner by which
he dropped junior guard Bob Tal-lefrom the varsity squad.
We do not question the authority of any athletic coach to dismiss
from the team any player who deserves to be dropped for legitimate disciplinary reasons. In this
particular instance, however, the
Kernel must seriously question the
legitimacy of Coach Rupp's actions
and the ungentlemanly, unprofessional, unethical methods which he
employed to fulfill this action.
nt

There was once a time in which
sports were intended to build character and to improve physical ability. That time passed and it was
replaced by the current era of big
time athletics so evident in universities throughout the nation. Big
time athletics are synonymous with
the concept, "win at any cost; it
doesn't matter how you play."
As Louisville Times Sports Editor Dean Eagle said in his Wednes-

day column, written about theTal-len- t
incident, "Phooey on character
building! Who wants to build character? The writers making the polls
for the Associated Press neverthink
of character building. Coaches voting for teams in the United Press
International poll don't prod their
brains to determine where character
has been built and where it has
been torn down.
44

young man is only a pawn
in the hands of a coach and he
moves them to suit these ulterior
A

motives."
So it is that
Tallent
buckled under "the system." How
well he was playing basketball is
not the issue to be discussed here,
however.
The points that should be
brought to issue, however, are (1)
that a University athlete has been
dismissed under muddled and suspicious circumstances and (2) the
inexcusable manner in which he
was dismissed.
What apparently was a long
series of complaints on the part
of Tallent came to the surface
Monday evening at Knoxville,
Tenn., in a game between the UK
and University of Tennessee varsities. When Hupp took Tallent out
of the game following a floor error, a heated exchange of words
took place between the two.

The following day, at Memorial
Coliseum, Tallent checked in for
practice, only to find that his
locker had been cleaned out. Team
manager George Hukle told Tallent that this had been done on
order from Hupp. It was in this
way the Langley atldete learned he
had been dropped from the team.

It is interesting how cold,
personal and cruel big time
