school nearer $800.00 to main
tain one student for a school
is supplemented by the money
that the Baptist State Conven
tion gives the school. Last year
Meredith received $80,000 from
this source.
The Baptist State Convention
has a cooperative program m
which it receives money from all
Baptist churches to make up a
fund which is spent on different
Baptist functions. A certain per
centage of this fund is given to
the Baptist colleges to aid in
their current operations. The
colleges now receiving aid are
the four year colleges, Meredith
and Wake Forest; the junior col
leges, Campbell, Gardner-Webb,
Mars Hill, and Wingate.
Meredith also has an endow
ment fund which is composed
of gifts of money from sources
other than students of the col
lege. This fund amounts to
$600,000 which is invested and
last year earned interest in the
amount of approximately $26,-
000. The budget then tor the
college for one year is in the
neighborhood of $450,000.
The school operates on a
budget which Mr. Martin and Dr.
Campbell present to the budget
committee of the board of trus-
ees for approval. The budget is
later presented to the executive
committee of the board of trust-
tees.
The expenses of the college
are worked out according to the
budget, with the instructional
fee, which consumes about 44
per cent of this budget, as the
biggest item of expense. The
“auxiliary enterprises” and ad
ministration consume the re
mainder of the budget amount.
These auxiliary enterprises in
clude all the other expenses
which the college must pay such
as board and room, fire insur
ance, water, lights, supplies, re
placement of e q u i p m e n t, re
pairs, and all maintenance ex
penses. For an idea of the mam
moth transactions which go on
in the bursar’s office, here are a
few vital statistics concerning
some items which come under
the general heading of auxiliary
enterprises. Did you know that
Meredith actually burns 700
tons of coal per year? On a sin
gle cold day from four to six tons
of coal are burned.
In the dining hall a staff of
seventeen full time workers and
one part time worker in addi
tion to Miss Watts, Miss Smith,
and Miss Rhyne, starts at 6:30
a.m. every morning to prepare
the three meals a day. For ex
ample, at one meal we eat 175
pounds of meat, five bushels of
greens, 950 rolls, and 55 pies.
There are 535 one half pint
bottles of milk consumed per
day. There is little wonder then
that food is the most expensive
item on the list of auxiliary en
terprises.
Along with all its other ex
penditures and money worries,
Meredith is at present support
ing an expansion program which
can be more familiarly called
the new auditorium now being
constructed on our campus.
We the students owe a great
deal in the way of gratitude to
the many people who are re-

of students as they gave
boisterious shouts to the fleet of
silver cars that passed. The
j presence of old Sol on Tuesday,
of all days (Note; According to
a record kept during the 1947-
48 term, it rained in Raleigh ev
ery Tuesday during the school
term except three.) plus the
added excitement of the ap
proaching “victim,” caused a
wave of merriment to ripple
through the crowd.
Soon cries of “There he is!”,
“Doesn’t he look cute?”, and
“This is something to tell my
grandchildren!” were heard. As
the lengthy, shining, cream-col
ored convertible slowly slid by.
They found him in a dark blue
cheers went up for none other
than the president of the United
States—Mr. Harry S. Truman!!
As most femes would do,
Meredith girls looked to see how
their president was dressed.

caused an avalanche of yells to
ascend in his honor. He nodded
graciously in return, and con
tinued on his way to the fair
grounds.
Overhead while the crowd
was breaking up were these
words coming from the lips of
a freshman; “You know, Mr.
Truman sends me even more
than Frank Sinatra EVER did!”
Well, your reporter is asking
YOU—should she write her
Democratic Congressman, Mr.
Dewey, or Frank Sinatra to tell
him of this revealing fact?

Work of the Meredith home
economics students this fall will
be directed toward helping
home economics students in
Germany who lack all types of
materials—from sewing needles
in clothing construction classes
to wash cloths and soap for child
development classes. The Mere
dith club has “adopted” a class
of girls seventeen to twenty
years of age at a school in Gop-
pengen. North Wuerhember, in
the American Zone of Germany.
Boxes of small equipment and
other donated articles will be
packed under the direction of
Rosemary Dean, chairman of the
foreign service committee.
These plans were discussed at
the first meeting of the Home
Economics Club held in the
Meredith Hut, October 5, at 7:00
p.m. Other committee chairmen
who reported new plans to the
group were Marianna Morris,
on the ways and means commit
tee, Elaine Saunders, on the
club scrapbook, Betsy Jordan,
on the “home for home eco
nomics,” and Virginia Gerock,
on senior membership in the
American Home Economics As
sociation. Sarah Davis, presi
dent of the club, presided.
After the meeting a social
hour honoring the new students
included a “get-acquainted”
program, and refreshments sug
gestive of the autumn season
were prepared and served by
Frances Williams and her com
mittee.
