House athletics, "a fundamental part of the whole system," draws criticism for its lack of organization. The Committee recommends additional coaches, to be paid by the University. According to the report, this step would eliminate confusion, lighten the burden of the Athletic Secretary, and "add certain incentive and spirit to the team effort...
...finding: as business picks up, many industrial employers are paying for overtime instead of hiring or rehiring additional workers. Reason: liberal labor contracts have added so many fringe-benefit costs to each employee that it is cheaper-up to a point-to work fewer employees overtime than to add others.

A more intense beat, besides lending even more excitement, would add rhythmic sureness and vivacity. Otherwise, both his and the Orchestra's work indicates much to look forward to, and one hopes they will not become assimilated into the larger Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra next year...
