A Wise and Profitable Investment
O PRIVATE firm con!.I do it. its
against all the canons of business.
Yet tlio Associated Students face another
year with a balanced budget and can offer
an extended, not curtailed, program at a less
tban-cost price.
rJ''IIIS school year the AKITO will bring to
McArthur court seven attractions (three
of them this term) in concerts which, when
artist's fees and production expenses are
totalled, will cost well over $1,000 each—a
$7,000 aggregate.
Any private firm fortunate enough tn
eii"■!)ire the services of such artists as Amelita
flalli-t'urci. Lanny Ross, Angna Enters, Helen
Jepson. Nathan Milstei.ii, the TIall-.Tohnson
negro choir, and the Khan-Ear ballet would
expect to receive in the return a handsome
profit. And with that arrav of talent, such a
return would undoubtedly he realized.
The associated student organization is not
a private business. Tt is the largest and most
successful co-operative organization directly
connected with the Oregon student body. And,
although it is. in a sense, “in business, it
can offer admittance to its membership at a
sum less than the expenses of presenting the
series.
PRIMARILY this is made possible because,
ins* [<s in ttie case of its other activities,
ii»„ AKl'O is in business for its own pleasure.
Its motive is to entertain and educate card
holders and not to make a profit.
The patronage of hundreds of townspeople
who snap nn the opportunity 1o witness the
"•renter-artist concerts permits the associa
te.n |o offer it to the student body at a figure
below cost. Tickets sold off the campus de
fi-av in part the expenses. Revenue from stu
dent tickets is budgeted to, except for a relfl
*
lively sirinll surplus, to cover the remainder ol
the expenses.
« * *
/± r/THOUGH these facts can be seen most
readily in the ease of the concerts where
the expenditures are easily visualized, they
are also applicable to all other student-pre
sented activities.
Oregon athletics as far as student income
is concerned are not budgeted to show a
profit but to limit the loss to a balaneable
amount. If the firm were schedulin'' the
{.'antes to make money, it could more profit- ’
ably retail the choice seats reserved for stu- j
dents to fans who would be glad to pay a
premium for them. Student publications and!
the host of activities which return not a cent
to AKl’O coffers are likewise offered for the
benefit and pleasure of members and with no
thought of profit.
''■'IIE Asm makes no appeal for members
on the basis of “school spirit” or in any
other nebulous, intangible way. ft offers
its wares in the role of a non-profit taking
student service. Through it every Oregon man
or coed can inexpensively become a member
of his or her student body, and the student
body is the active, functioning unit, that
makes Oregon a university.
Entering its second year under the new
“divided” setup, with athletics controlled by
oik' board and educational activities under
another unit, the ASUO already has its pro
gram underway. The membership drive will
begin later this week, when the student group
is already functioning efficiently.
This is tvnieal of the spirit of the student
association this year and of its leaders. Tt is
moving ahead confidently, succeeding more
and more in its program of service. Its busi
ness foundations are soundly driven and it
seems headed for one of the best years in
history. The $15 for three-term membershin
ought to be a profitable business investment.

Tn depression anil post-depression davs,
technical training seems a partienlarlv invit
ing field. Professional eonrse attendance is
liit when students experience a “hard-times
scare" and look toward a sure-thin" mechan
ical employment upon graduation.
The experience of Oregon is typical of that
of universities throughout the nation. Nearly
all report or are predicting increases this
year. Because University training is largely
professional and educational, (‘specially on
this eaiimus, the statistics indicate better
times in the country as a whole.
