This fall, as he promised, President Hackerman has appointed a committee to study the role of intercollegiate athletics at Rice. That long-awaited study, though, may turn out to be more a whitewash than the sincere evaluation the program needs if President Hackerman's appointments to the committee which he announced September 25 are any indication. At his "State of the University" address, Hackerman announced that Catherine Hannah, an alumnigovernor, would 0BY chair the committee. She is, we feel, an excellent appointment. The other four governors named to the committee, however, may throw off the results of that evaluation. Hackerman has appointed Ralph O'Connor and Theodore Law, both of whom Hackerman says he believes are predisposed in favor of the existing athletic program. The two other governors, whom Hackerman calls "objective", are Frank Ryan WDriAAfl£fl£' and Richard Chapman. Both are Rice Ph.D.'s; and in case you didn't notice, both are former Rice football stars. V Though we do not wish to question the fairness of Chapman I WOULD IKY TOR STRICTER CONTROLS, BUT HE'S PERSUADED ME THE THING IS LOADED...' and Ryan (or their sincere efforts to be fair), the assertion that they are objective is ludicrous. Two students and two faculty, yet to be named, will complete the committee. Of the nine members, however, four appear to Summer school... have a definite bias.
