Athletes

Life Managing Editor
» Athletes at Central may receive fol -nde
jdiolarships if the other four ^^^
fcollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) members
'Wee to do the same. , i„-a
i Member schools are meeting this weekend
Idomake their decision in accordance wthWa-
fional Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
rules that permit foil grants to athletes.
Full-ride scholarships' give financial belp ™ -
students to pay for room and board, and tuition
University Senate approved the athletic com-
imittee's recommendation asking for anew ms-
tribution method—full grants instead of the present half-rides now offered. . ,
Lester Serier,  associate professor  ot  matne-
matics and a member if the athletic committee,
explained that the number of grants given atn-
letes will depend upon the financial situation oi
lithe school, but the maximum number avaiiaDie
']willbe 130. * ... .
Serier added that the grants could be split m
[any amount necessary  and the funds wouiant
[necessarily all be for full grants.
1   Some controversy arose at the Senate "h^eting
concerning the fairness of full grants for athletes
[versus those for students who are worthy in aca-
jdemic areas and creative abilities.
I    Senators D. Nolan Kaiser, assistant protessor
of philosophy and William Bulger, associate processor of history, both" raised objections to tne
full-ride plan explaining thaOhey had reserva*
tions because ^udent^ehievers-in-academic areas
might not receive the same full-ride benefits as
athletes would.
Varsity basketball coach, Ted Kjolhede, said
that CMU needed to offer full-rides to athletes for
equal  competition  with  other  schools  of  CMU
caliber.
"We're in a bind," he said. "We would like to
get in a good solid conference and have some influence in the policies of that conference. Other
institutions of our type and size feel it is important
to offer this support," he added.
President William B. Boyd said he had pondered over the athletic proposal and that although
he was reluctant to approve the full-ride plan, he
could offer no alternative. .;•„-
"If we want to play schools of our size, and
expand our conference, .or perhaps affiliate with
a new conference, we're going to have to expand
our program." he said

What kind of man donates his heart so that
another man may have a chance to live?
A man who was an honor student in high
school, president of the student council and
active in sports.
Or a man who had deep religious feelings that
told him it was his duty to give his heart to
another if the opportunity presented itself.
Robert J, Pushman, Fenton senior, did this
Monday after he died from brain injuries sustained
in an auto crash near Flint on Sunday. His heart
now beats for Donald L. Kaminski of Alpena, who
• doctors had told that without the transplant he
had less than a year- to live.
Pushman was an art major who- planned
to teach, after graduation. He was a member of
Tau Kappa Epsilon social fraternity. TKE presi*
dent John" Knight described Bob as a very enthusiastic individual who was very active in fraternity
activities.
Knight .commented, "Bob spoke often on the
subject of donating his heart if he were to die.
There was something inside him that made him
want to'do this more than anything else* It was
more-than just a thought to him, from what I
understand it was one of his religious beliefs. He
■ was very^ religious."
"This  was  the  greatest  thing  he  has   ever
done," said Robert G. Pushman,-Bob's father.
