Reader Alise Rodgers submitted this week’s TBT from 1958. In the picture, Alise is posing with her then-boyfriend, now-husband Jack outside of Smyth Hall. As a brother of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, Jack commissioned the entire group to sing to Alise as her dormmates watched from inside. “The whole fraternity marched to Smyth Hall and then formed a heart and sang the Sig Ep Sweetheart song,” Rodgers said. “Jack presented me with a box of roses. It was wonderful and brings tears to my eyes to see that picture. It was 1958. What wonderful memories.” Jack and Alise both went on to graduate from Delaware in 1959 and 1960, respectively.

Women’s crew empowers teammate with CF

ERIN DUNNE Senior Reporter

In the sport of rowing, the final meters are the most critical of the entire 2,000-meter race. It is the last push, the all-out sprint—the space where rowers lose feeling of their legs and the mental game sports commentary comes into play. As the meters fall away and the finish line approaches Pigskin payment While the crowd roars in their ears, their minds take over to push them problems through the final meters. Last Sunday, laptops poised If college sports are going to open, texts flying and screams start paying players, then Delaware emitting from across campus, the should get out of college sports.

With other programs in which the university could help benefit mankind itself, (GoBabyGo! and other revolutionary programs) “Rip it up”: Field hockey climbs national rankings is unethical when the money could be spent on better, more beneficial things. Delaware also only uses 20 percent of their current budget to sponsor specific sports and other university sponsored clubs—having more money dealt to a specific sport, or to all of them, would inevitably cause these university sponsored clubs to stoD receiving funds. The $6.8 million minimum price tag that is applied to this scenario would also cause burden on the students at the university. Even if the university decided to defund clubs or other university programs because of their sports “bill,” students would more than likely see a rise in their tuition bills because of the university’s loss of money. Having a one or two percent increase in tuition is something that most students might not notice, however, if the university were to jack its prices up 10 or 12 percent because of this additional cost, the university could start to lose perspective students before it even has a chance to collect their tuition checks. Patrick Harker, the former president of the university, has spoken openly in an op-ed about the dangers of paying players at the collegiate levels. Although Harker’s opinion no longer falls under the views of the university, it does give us a glimpse at how those in Delaware administration think about paying players moving forward. For example, Harker said in the article, “If the football players EMILY MOORE7THE REVIEW at Northwestern think they will do Head Coach van de Kerkhof wants his players to focus on their game rather than their rankings.
