Every once in awhile, talk surfaces within these hallowed halls of Columbia College about how wonderful it would be if the school started a sports program. A genuine sports team-basketball, per­ haps- many students say, would help bring students together, give them something to rally around. Since the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament started this past weekend, The Chronicle feels this is an appropriate time to address such a suggestion. The tournament is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting events in all of sport. Every year, 64 teams play what seems to be an endless amount of basketball, until one is crowned champion. But every year, also, the underbelly of college athletics hangs over the tournament like a black cloud. Situations like the alleged point-shaving at North Carolina State, and the school's atro­ cious graduation rate for athletes, have become just another "aspect" of the game. The University of Illinois might find itself on probation next year for allegedly giving handouts to a recruit from King High School in Chicago. In a new book, King's coach is accused of charging colleges thousands of dollars for the privilege of talking to his high school players. Every year, we can be assured that at least one or two teams will get caught. Is it worth it? No. A program will eventually generate thousands ofdollars in income, but it will also cost thousands of dollars to start one. Columbia has trouble fixing elevators and fire code Letters to the editor: violations. The last thing it needs is the expense, both fmancial and academic, of college athletics. Intramural sports, on the surface, sounds like a viable alternative.
