COMPULSORY ATHLETIC FEE
Manager Maendon Tells
Why It Is Needed
A registration fee of $ 2.50, to be
paid in September and January of
each year by every student register
ing is, as I see it, the only solution
of the problem we are facing. This
is the only plau that will provide a
certain income every year. It
provides a basis upon which to
work and a standard by which the
expenditures can be regulated.
Each department of athletics, base
ball, foot ball, basket ball and
track can have a portion of this
fund allotted to it and thus make
each more or less independant of
base ball and foot ball.
Every student in the University
aught to sign a petition to the
Board of Trustees asking that this
method of financing the Athletic
Association be put into effect in
September.
Look for notices of meetings held
for this purpose and Jets be there
and see that every man in college
is there.
