Bruhacher There has ·been considerable comment on tM swbjeet of foe Jack's basebali trip for spring prac- tice in Kenmucky. An/interemn:g interview Wlitlh Ji,m Dutcher, tJhe coaeh of the Jacks, has 'Provided these reportens wi'!Jh faots and fig- ures of the beneficial aspects oj a trip fo Kentucky for tihe baseball team. "Firstly, it ha5 been said J!Jhat this tvip is :£or a ·selected few," said Mr. Dutcher, and that t!he student body has to pay fur the trip out of ,the studenit activity fund. There are 13 students ithat take pam in this tr,ip. H the $15 paid by eacih of these students yearly, is muffitiplied by 13, we find this .to be $195. The actuail ex- pense ·of the itrip is figured at only $371.50. T,his leaves a balauce of $176.50 to be paid by the student body. With an approximate student body of 400 at ACC, thds would come .to about .50 per person, whfoh •doesn't seem to be a very unreasonable amounit for fellow "As 'for the selected few, any male student ,at ACC, who is eligi- ble to parti.cipate in sports may try out for the baseball team." " The ,trip is to be made during the annual Ea•Eiter vacation, so on the five-day 11:r:i[) there will be •only three days of classes missed by the players.

"With these :faots and figures, I believe," said Mr. Dutcher, "they have showed that a tl'lip to Kentuc- ky fur the baseball .team is neither expensive to ·the student body nor harmful to the p1ayers by missing classes, while at tfue same .time be- ing educational both geograp,hically and socially." -Wayne Somers and Don Sautter.
