' " . The figures will doubtless prove; a big revelation to those who have been under the erroneous impression that the University Athletic Associa tion was piling up a small fortune.' Graduate Manager Woollen's , ar ticle follows: . "In making- its plans, for the cur rent year, -the Athletic Council made up of alumni, faculty and student membership, decided to .increase the price of tickets to the major games played in Chapel Hill, from $2 to $2i50. This decision was reached af ter consideration of the cost of the athletic" program , adopted , for this year, the burden of which falls on football receipts. Estimates for the year ending September 1st and in cluding all activities are : total re ceipts $82,200; total expense, $84, 700, leaving a deficit of $2,500 for the year. i t ' "There was also this further con siderations The home team does not get all the receipts as many suppose; but the money is divided equally be tween the two teams, after deduct ing cost of officials, advertising, and other expenses of "conducting, the game. "For several years there "has been the demand that" Carolina schedule games with some of the outstanding teams of the south. Until our sta dium was completed our seating ca pacity was too small to interest them in coming to . Chapel - Hill. Futher more, with the increase to $2.50-for major games, our scale is still below lai-ic ' A IoKsityvii Vnnrlrhil.- T"n- lane, Georgia, Georgia1 Tech get $3 for major games; and with the tax added, the University of South Car olina and Clemson get $3.30.

Air these lose money on their schedule except var sity football, and varsity baseball when we have a good season. "This fall 12 men reported for varsity football, and more than a hun dred for the freshman squad. In ad dition to the varsity and freshmen squads, the Council has ; encouraged and supported Intramural Athletics, in which there has been a remarka ble development as is, evidenced, by the fact that a recent census showed 272 teams with more than 1900 stu 3ents participating. "Equipment for the past year cost $15,000. The payroll for the 22 men making up the staff of coaches, train ers, and assistants for the current year - will , reach $40,000. "Our football teams play fn Mas sachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia; our basketball teams play in Indiana Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia,' Mary land. These two show the wide range of territory covered by our squads. There are 173 games on our sche ' dules, not counting intramurals.

The senator stated that,what we now know that the Book Exchange began as a small affair operated by the Y. MrC. A. The ten percent pro fit charged went to the cause of the Y. M. C. A., asserted the speaker. Finally it assumed such proportions that it was taken over by, the Univer sity and became a part of the U. C. S. P. Thus, declared the senator, the organization has departed from its original purpose and at present has a - monoply on the b.ook situation in Chapel Hill. The speaker contended for reduced v prices on the grounds that the building in which the Book Exchange operates is not taxed and that those who operate it are told ahead, of time exactly how many books to order.
