C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1942 Business and Circulation: 8641 NUMBER 43 fer x i w rR 7M 55T- ( F I f I' f f ! Glasses To Vote On Budgets Class Fees Cut In All Proposals Proposed budgets for the sophomore, junior, and senior classes will be voted on by class members from 9 until 5 o'clock today. Polls in the YMCA and Gra ham Memorial will be conducted by class officers and representa tives of the Student Council ad visory board on class budgets. Members of the Interfrater nity, Interdormitory, and Inter town Councils will also distribute bud gets to be considered. This year's proposed budgets were planned with the Council advisory board. These groups have planned the budgets with the purpose of "reduc ing class fees wherever possible." The senior budget makes its larg est allowance for Yackety-Yack pic tures and enough has been allotted to cover an individual picture of every man in the class. The, budget has also allowed for a fifteen percent drop in revenue this quarter and next quarter because of students dropping out of school or bad debts. Each senior thereby saves $1.25 a year in class fees. The junior budget also gives its largest expense item to the Yackety Yack but by other economies will save juniors $3-50 in class fees. Sophomores have anticipated a 10 percent drop in class fees this quar ter and 25 percent during the winter quarter but have still cut the pro posed budget enough to save mem bers $.70 over last year's class fees. Officers of all three classes have urged all students to vote today so that class officers will have definite appropriations to work with.

Alice Turnage was voted secretary; John Stedman, treasurer; and Dick Ford, Joe Fowler and Bob Broughton were elected legislators. Billy Dolan was automatically named vice-president due to the withdrawal of Charles Hackney, his opponent.

Bert Bennett, student council presi dent, announced that "the new officers will have to begin immediately in preparation for the budget and plans of the class of '46." The final count gives Bill Storey, 145 and Charles Benbow, 118. In the race for secretary, Alice Tur nage won a five-vote victory over Bill Porter, 136-131.
