C will climax the club's winter sports Pannill Replies To Phi Charges Collection Totals Listed for Group Answering the charges that the Student Entertainment Com mittee is failing to provide the students with the type of en tertainment they want, Allan Pannill defended the SEC before the Phi Assembly last night. Outlining the reasons for the quality of the present entertain ment, Pannill said, "We're pretty isolated here and consequently it is rather had to get the stars on the West Coast to come to the campus. Another thing "you must take into consideration is that we work out these programs months in advance and conse quently are greatly hampered by the unforeseen conditions, that cuiue up. , Questioned at length about what the Student Entertainment fund was, Pannill said 40 per cent of the funds come from the government and that the money from that source was often 8 months in arrears. Asked the amount collected from the $1 student fee per quarter for en tertainment, he said that $3232 had been collected this year, or about $1080 per quarter. He further pointed out that only the students in the Liberal Arts and Commerce School paid these fees, and not the entire student body. In answering Pannill, Phi member Roy Thompson told the Assembly, "I am not attacking any of the persons on the Stu dent Entertainment Committee, but I would like to point out that I am not in favor of students paying $3 a year of $.25 enter tainment." "With the 1941-1942 enter tainment we have no quarrel, but we do believe that the pres ent affairs should be greatly im proved." When asked to offer suggestions for the improve ment of the entertainment, Thompson said he was in favor of the appointment of the stu dent members of the committee by a faculty advisor.
