As We see it, the "If-we-Iook-the-other-way-we-won't-see-it" administration is taking advantage of a great and honorable trait, dedication. They seem to feel that men who love their job will be content without food or shelter. Last Ron Clark week John Bunn dropped a serenity-blasting bomb with his resignation. Coach Bunn is not the first to leave nor is he the only "big name" now serving his last year at SC. Springfield College is cunently in the process of repelling rather than attracting capable and above-average men. The cry of "no finances" has been bellowed long and loud. The time has now anived when the finances must be found. If a wholesale departure of not only COaches but other faculty members as well is to be prevented, immediate steps must be taken to provide an adequate salary schedule and system of advance­ ment. * >I< * Bunn's journey to the Rockies will leave not one, but two positions wide OPen. The physical education department must SCUlry around and dig up not only a basketball coach, but an athletic director as well. Actually Springfield's athletic director is such in name only.
