Ho, and a bottle of rum," as a by
word, Tony Sarg's marionettes will
present Stevenson's famous classic.
"Treasure Island" in two penorm-
ances today.
Sarg has been working on the pro

years and during that period has de

ments other than the piano and has
had to be able to sing.- . . -WOODEN

figures tentatively agreed upon by the
joint committee are not revised- up

President Graham stated yesterday
that "The newspaper stories and head
lines which stated that the University
had received a boost in appropriations
evidently gave many readers the im
pression that the University was get
ting more than the Advisory Budget
commission recommended."
"That is true of course," he said,
"if you take into consideration that
the Budget commission based' its ref
ommendations xn the assumption that
tuition for all students at the three
units of the University would be in
creased by at least $50 to bring in ad
ditional revenue of approximately
$400,000. .

: For Abolishment
Somt light" was shed yesterday
afternoon on the proposal which goes
before the student legislature tonight
in, connection with the. abolishing of
intercollegiate, boxing at the Univer
sity. Two responsible authorities came
out in. the open with statements. Di
rector of athletics Robert A. Fetzer
ancLboxingcoach Michael Z. Ronman
spokefor publication, while others in
authoritative;! positions .remained in

members tonight ; a necessary 20 per
cent of the members have -already

that the body convene. The bill, in
part, follows:
NEW PROPOSAL
"Inasmuch as intercollegiate boxing
has been shown by competent medica
authorities to be irreparably harmfu
both to brain and physique of those
students participating, we, the mem
bers of the student legislature .
exercising our duly authorized func
tion as representatives of a student
body which has- levied an athletic fee
upon . itself, vote that intercollegiate
boxing be abolished and refer this ac
tion . to the athletic council, instruc
ting our repreesntatives on this body
to take appropriate action." ;
Orjgm of. the. proposal has been
traced to a recent meeting of the stu
dent welfare committee, at which time
a letter written to Dean Bradshaw
by Dr. W. R. Berryhill was read. Dr.
Berryhill, who refused yesterday, to
make any statement because he was
not in a position to do so, submitted
his letter after a study of the injuries
received in high school and college
boxing and touch football. The infir
mary head admitted it was based on a
study made both on the campus and
elsewhere.
