That’s Where the
Money Goes
WE are not at all certain that
a communicant who writes
concerning the A. S. IJ. O. finan
cial report has correctly interpreted
that statement; neither are we cer
tain of the contrary. Which in it
self is perhaps sufficient reason
why a moro detailed acounting
should be forthcoming.
If the financial statement may
be taken as an indicator of the in
terests of a university student body
(and it cannot be interpreted oth
erwise) there is little cause for
pride, disregarding, even, a deficit
of moro than $3,000.
The financial statement says just
one thing: athletics, and says it in
more ways than wo over know woro
possible. The capital outlay in
crease that brought on tho deficit
was duo to the same cause. It be
comes evident that athletics are not
self-supporting, a condition that wo
have never heard mentioned, al
though tho opposite is one of the
first arguments offered in dofenso
of large-scalo intercollegiate sports.
The income on athletics is shown
as $74,000 and the expenditure as
$84,000. Here is a deficit of about
$10,000. In addition, several thou
sand dollars more are listed under
various headings, though appertain
ing to the samo matter.
We should like to see an itemized
statement explaining tho disposition
of tho $84,000, not to mention de
tails on other sums bulked under
vague headings. We cannot imagine
why a student body of approximate
ly 3,000 invests $84,000 for “ath
letics” and soveral thousand dol
lars more for equipping pavilions,
sanding fields and constructing
bleachers. Doesn’t this seem to lend
weight to the oft-denied charges of
big business athletics! Totalled, the
outlay for this one interest (admit
tedly the main interest) of some
3,000 students is more than $100,000.
Compare this sum, or contrast
it, with expenditures of loss than
$6,000 for music and $2,000 for lec
tures and forensics. Tho Webfoot,

To the Editor:
From the iinauc.ini statement of
the A. 8. U. O. as appeared in the
Emerald of May IS, t have com
puted tlte total cost of A. 8. lT. O.
athletics at $103,35(5.70.
Noticing the discrepancy of $29,
007.41 between income and expenses,
I wonder if my methods are wrong
or if I have wrongly interpreted the
report.
Adding the expenditures listed
under McArthur Court, Athletic
Field, Athletics, Salaries, I have
$98,9(57.41. Adding all other ex- j
penses, to find the percentage of
this sum to the total expenditures
of the A. S. U. O., 1 determined the
amount of administration expenses !
which athletics should bear. This
sum brought these expenses to $103,
356.70.
Your report gives no indication
as to which department should be
assigned the sums listed under un- 1
good start, has had to get along on
some $1800, though it is showing a
profit.
This concentration of resources
on one side is not a healthy situa
tion. At the risk of speaking here
sy we suggest that a good sized por
tion of the money might bo turned,
with more profit to the greater num
ber of students, to the development
of interests more concerned with
the mental life of the University.
The Emerald does not mean to
suggest or even insinuate that there
have been irregularities in the dis
position of student funds, but a de
tailed accounting might make it bet
ter evident just where the mloney
is going. The mass figures indicate
that we are over-developed on one
side. Now let us have moro light,
so we may see the reason for this
intolerable situation and perhaps
develop a remedy.
‘The Revolt
Of Asia9
THESE are trying times for
those who would understand the
significance of the happenings in
China. Is the conflict merely a civil
war, or does it mark an awakening
of the East to self-realization? If
the latter, what will be the out
come? Will Asia rise against the
West? Aro we on the eve of a world
conflict?
Woefully few observers have been
able to answer these questions with
authority. One of tho few observers
who is credited with understanding
the situation is Josef Washington
Hall, who will speak at the assem
bly today on “The Revolt of
Asia. ’ ’
Mr. TIall foresees tho end of the
white man’s domination of the
world; tho western empires in Asia
are slipping, ho says. For this he
blames the white man, who taught
the East the tools and methods of
war and then brought on trouble
through greed and prejudice, lie
sees an awakening, not only in
China, but throughout Asia; a cul
tural revolt that cannot bo put
down. America, he says, is danger
ously noar assuming the white man’s
burden which is slipping off Brit
ain’s worn shoulders, yet this same
Amoriea holds tlio solution to tho
problem.
Mr. Hall’s analysis of the situa
tion will be welcomed by those
who are trying to road beyond the
nows reports. Wo in America who
aro talking patriotically of defend
ing concessions and property and
lives know only half the story. Mr.
Hall, we hope, will supply the other
half.

Dear friends:
Personally I never bought an engagement Ting in my life.
1 was on the verge of buyin ’ one one time but she changed
her mind.
Which is a woman’s privilege I s’pose.
But the average girl wears only one engagement ring in
her whole life. There are exceptions to that rule, but I'm talk
ing about the average.
That’s why it's important to select that engagement diamond
with care. You’ll have to admit that my argument’s good.
So, I’d advise any young man to see the beautiful assort
ment of “sparklers” here at the store and talk the matter
over with Mr. Skeie. He knows diamonds.

His book is “a simple story writ
