ATHLETIC BILL IS HIGH American Colleges Spend Over a Billion Each Year. Athletic expenses of colleges in the United States amount to more than one billion dollars a year, but the major portion of the money does not go to pay for the physical excercises of the students. This information was contained in a re port submitted by Dr. H. Shindle Wingert. director of physical edu cation at Ohio State University. The majority of students attend ing the American colleges do not get physical exercise enough to keep their bodies in a healthy con dition, according to the report. Dr. Wingert shows that of the 111,600 students in 150 institutions, only 18,395 participate in varsity athletic games, whilqJhi non-varsity games 45,378 men take part. $7l, 000 is spent annually on the sports not played under the direction of the colleges. Out of 153 colleges taking part in intercollegiate sports, 87 per cent take no interest in fostering any type of physical exercise, 51 per cent try to create love for athletics by promoting football, baseball and other games. Twenty-one per cent give corrective exercise, 14 per cent hygienic lectures, five per cent require swimming, and two per cent teach dancing. Dr. Wingert’s investigation is part of the program being carried on by the colleges to have all students partake in some form of athletic exercise. WELLESLEY GIRLS BOOTBLACKS Students Go Into All Kinds of work to Aid in Raising Fund. In order to raise "a fund of $2,- 000,000 within the next two months to rebuild the structures recently destroyed by fire, the college girls at Wellesley are resorting to a great variety of occupations.

Rifle Club A reorganization of the Rifle Club was recently effected and officers were elected for the re mainder of the college year. Fad dis, T 5, the incoming president of the organization, has taken hold of affairs in a capable manner and now the rifle range at the Armory is in good shape. The range is open from seven to nine o’clock each evening of the week and many members are taking advantage of this opportunity to improve their marksmanship. All students are eligible to membership and the only fee charged is a nominal one of 25 cents required in order to keep the guns in shape and in order to buy targets. The fact that the local club is affiliated with the National Rifle Association enables it to secure all ammunition free. The Rifle Club offers an oppor tunity to every student in college to get some excellent practice in shooting and also affords recreation to all, whether experts or amateurs. The results of the Y.
