Attention has been called to the large gate receipts and the enormous amount of money spent on athletics as bad phases of the present athletic situation. This large income comes partly from the University, but chiefly from the public. At present season tickets are required for each sport and special tickets for big games, and in addition there are numerous calls for subscriptions, with consequent annoyance. There is a strong undergraduate feeling that subscriptions should be abolished. The burden of athletic support is not borne equally at present; a few pay for more than their share. With separate tickets...
...need for larger facilities will be felt more and more. Better athletic equipment for the University, including a modern and adequate gymnasium, with a large swimming pool an indoor track, new locker and shower rooms under the Stadium, and improvements on Soldiers Field, are legitimate ways to spend any amount of surplus from gate receipts. Outsiders are only too glad to pay to see College athletics, and it is only right that they should. This seems to me a legitimate way for the University to get financial aid for fostering general athletics and securing these improvements. JOHN. J. ROWE...
...examining this subject, I have tried to find out what is the average amount men pay for their board, and how this price compares with the charges at the training table. From all I can gather, very few men pay more than $7 a week for board, and the average man pays approximately $5. Granted that a man in active competition requires more nourishing food than the inactive man, one concludes that training-table board should be offered for $8 or possibly $9 a week, allowing for a reasonable margin...
...rule was passed in October, 1904. Although absent at the time, the writer believes that he is correct in assuming that the regulation simply indicates the unwillingness of the Athletic Committee to countenance the continuous devotion to athletics and the amount of absenteeism involved in membership on some University athletic team during the whole University year. The rule applies only to intercollegiate, not to interclass or intramural contests, and was not designed to prevent men from taking any amount of exercise desired, or even from indulging in continuous training...
...been felt that perhaps the notice about the Class Fund published in last Thursday's CRIMSON, was not explicit enough. The subscriptions, up to the present time, are considerably behind the records of previous classes, both in number and amount. For instance, in the class of 1904 there were 147 men who gave subscriptions of $50 each. The class of 1907 is fully capable of doing more than that, though up to the present date, there have not been one quarter as many subscriptions of that size. It is earnestly hoped that a large number of men will subscribe generously...
