Rewrite the following paragraph so that the resource material flows with the remainder of the paragraph. a person considering the cost of school athletics must first consider salaries of coaches, custodians, trainers, and band directors. james johnson said, "equipment is another major cost." equipment includes uniforms for athletes, marching band, pompom line, cheerleaders, and other groups whose function is tied to the athletics program. equipment includes balls, bats, nets, clubs, laundry and cleaning costs, first-aid supplies, and medical supplies. johnson also discusses utility costs. "some are directly related to the sports program such as lighting and air conditioning." water used by the team for showers should be included (26).

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
