'.Woe Be U By HARRY HOPE (Today we conclude "Hope's History" with recent events and a little prophecy of a non-descript nature.) CHAPTER V There arose in the land a great awakening of the people. They did cry out against the oppressors rep ressers and pants pressers. And the Wise One spoke, "Let us give unto the students football, basketball and a multitude of other things to keep their minds off thinking." And the Guardians did as they were told. They started frater nities, signed great athletes to their teams, built unto themselves a Coliseum. They built a great stadium, and they did carpet that stadium with a rug costing thirty pieces of silver. Select Group 4 Fellow. Studen ROBERT B. CLARKSON Guest Columnist Students, you're being ripped off by fello students. Full time, in-state students are required to pi $285 a semester. Only $75 of this goes to suppl ment the state appropriations for all tuition < academic fees. The other $210, the Universi1 Fee, is controlled by the University. This $21 adjusted for non-residents and part-time sti dents, multiplied by the 20,941 student body semester equals a huge discretionary fund. $422,000 or $13.50 per student per semeste is turned over to a select group of students, tl Student Allocation Committee and the Unive sity Union. What do they do with your mone) 1) First, the insiders, all full time student take care of themselves. The President of tl University Union receives $1300.00 and his to four staff members receive $900 each. C course, they receive expense money such a $4700 for travel and conventions, and $2600.0 for telephone expenses, even though the Univei sity has a WATTS line. They also control $27,055 contingency fund, completely discreti, nary. The University Union also operates var ous enterprises. Apparently the staff is earnin for their foresight. They planned in the budge for a net loss, expenses minus revenues c $16,450 on its night club, $16,500 on its movie; and $17,000 on student concerts. 3) The University Union appropriated $29,60 to provide, not enter taining concerts for the fee payers, but an Artist Series. But, how many sti dents attended Martha Graham ($3,500 from sti dent fees) or virgil Fox ($7,000)?

And he did much smiling and said many good things and the people were taken by him - boy, were they taken. And dark days descended upon the University. A plague did arise. And one day, the people did wake up and realize that they had an Administration. And then did the people awaken. They did storm the buildings and take the high ground. They gover nor did call out his Guardsmen. And there was gas and strife for five days and nights. Yea, verily, the people were taken and their heads were shorn and the police did cause much depredation upon the people. Some did fly into strange countries, and hide themselves there.
