Spencer Reveals
Facts, Figures
Figures concerned with the
operation of Chowaj;)
reveal Uie enormous
burden assigned to the financial
end.
Mr. Leon spencer. College bur
sar, furnished information re
garding an overall expense of
$80,000 to facilitate a year’s
(school year) operation. Of this
amount. $50,000 is accounttd for
in salaries of all employees. This
leaves an estimated amount of
$30,000 to be distributed for fuel,
lights, food, depreoiation, campus
renovation, and upkeep.
To present a vie*i’ of the actual
pecuniary value of student char
ges tire bursar related the fact
that with an enrollment of 113
students. 77 boarding and 36 day,
with an approximity of $300 per
person, the students furnish only
$30,000.
There are 77 boarding students
and 36 day students enrolled at
the present time. Sdr.ce it costs
$800 a year to house and facilitate
a student and the student fur
nishes only $300 of this, the re
mainder must be accounted for
and secured thd-ough other chan
nels.
Chowan possesses a $5,000 sup
port and friend i.iave asHur’ed an
imburement to the deficit on this
cause.
With an anticipated enrollment
of 200 students next year, their is
an expectation that these costs
will be cut in half.
