YALE COUNCIL IN FAVOR OF CHARITY POST-SEASON GAME

New Haven, Conn., Oct. 7--At a special meeting of the Yale Student Council tonight in the Tower Room of Harkness Hall, a resolution was passed recommending that the Yale football team play a post-season game, the proceeds of which would go to charity.

This resolution of the Council seconds a proposal made by the Yale News a few days ago. The editors of the News suggested that the game be played either on the now open date of November 14 or a day after the closing of the regular season. As yet, there has been no official action taken on the matter by the university authorities.

According to the resolution of the Student Council, "a university has a moral obligation to mankind" to relieve "immediate distress and suffering" as well as "to guard against a recurrence of this situation." In such a crisis the members of the Council feel that organizations whose services can most readily be converted into a source of income should participate in the relief movement.

The complete text of the resolution follows:

Whereas, a university has a moral obligation to mankind not only to guard against a recurrence of this situation, but to relieve immediate distress and suffering, and

Whereas, we, though opposed in principle to letting the burden of this disaster fall upon the shoulders of a few, yet being aware of the crying needs of town, county, and state we do favor the breaking of a precedent for the immediate emergency only by the participation in the relief movement of organizations whose services can most readily be converted into an available source of income, and

Whereas, the most effective method of procuring the needed funds is by scheduling a football game at the end of the regular season, Resolved. That this body offers its whole-hearted cooperation with the university in an attempt to meet the crisis, and be it further resolved. That within the scope of its power, this body recommends to the university that with the consent of the members of the football team such an additional game be played.
