A COMMUNICATION Editor of THE GAMECOCK, Nearley every year there is trouble over the payment of cost of printing some one of the student publications and over the athletic expenses. At present the annual of last year has left a debt of about $400; the .alumni con tributed $1,000 on the indebtedness of the different athletic teams. I desire to suggest a scheme for raising suflici ent revenue, which has been adopted in many institutions suffering as we are from lack of funds. If a student pays the breakage fee, sgning it away for a ticket to the games, the assessment for Flinn Hall 'nd the societies, and suhscribt s to the tAMECOCK, "The Carolinian" and The ,arnet and Black, he pays out during 4he session $14.50, as follows: e Breakage fee $4 .0 c GAMECOCK 1.50 "Carolinian" 1.50 6 "Garnet and 8lack'' 2.50 Flinn Hall 2.00 Societies 1.011 If e -31:0 ly con r buted to these variou> causes, there would not be any trnuble; but not over two thirds secure tickets to the games, and outside of the si lety members not over fifty men take the weekly and monthly publications. In other words something like two thirds of the men whose names are on the student roll pay for all the indebt edness supposed to b2 incurred by all. Kvery man should take part in college life, doing so with the lea;t possible ex pense. The spirit of cooperationt is one of the most valuable IIsons he eould get from any institution. At present evervbody pays a break age fee of $3.00 a term which can be returned. Let us make this $5 and non returnable. This would be $10 a year for each student. All students, male aill female, undergraduate and grad unate, should pay; the few attendants on special lectures could be omnitted frit the requirement. Out of the pres ent enrollment of 501, thereought to be 4511 persons who would pay $10 each during the session. The total amount contributed to the general fund would thus amnount to $4,500. Let us divide t:uis sum as follows: "Carolinian" $450 GAMECOCK .150 ".Garnet and Black" 800 Flinn Hall 750 - )ebates 200 Sinking Fund 100 Athletics 1750 Total $4500 Everybody will get a copy of THE GAMEcocK, "fhe Carolinian," "The Garnet and Black" and tickets to the athletic games, and every one will have as much interest in the various University activities as every one else. ' here will be an egnal division of labor and of profit. Failure to pay for pub liations and other expenses will cease, herause the exact amount to be spent Will be known, and the risk of collection will be avoided -- where is now a serious risk. Provision will be made for pay i'19 some of our back indebtednesr. Those who now pay $14.50 will be re lie.ed, while members of the societies will now be required to give $3 for THEi GAMsCOCK and ''The Carolinian." heit figures, except for the first two itejins, are subject to revision. An e'xecutive committee could see that the fundIs wveire paid out in the p)rop)er way. I have been thinking over this matter for two years atnd seei no other way to keep out of debt and have every man take part in University life at the least possible expense. From some ten years association with the student self help~ committee I feel sure that I can Say that no one will suffer real incon venaience from paying this fee. E. T. GRnEN. PERSONAL Miss Roberta Andrews has been called to her home in Flor ence on account of illness in the family. C. J.
