Kinnlne '35 Monogittg Editor Thi+ I,aiw - gowm Editor This Issur THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1934 REDUCING DANCE DEFICITS When a S2Ol deficit was announced last week for Sophomore lion, it was the second class dance of the year to go into the red. An estimated loss of $llO was previously reported for Senior Ball. These losses will have to he paid Out of the sophomore and senior class treasuries, which 'are sustained by class dues. The' first two class dances last year had a total ilefieit; which was $53 less than the total deficit for Senior Ball and Sophomons flop this year. The 1933 Senior Ball reported a surplus of 556, while last year's 81:4)h . OmOre Ito)) lost $3lB. A number of reasons might be given for dance losses. Thsre is nothing certain or predictable about dance attendance, and a pier attendance will Wreck the best-laid plans. Bad weather will cut the door recleipts MeaSureably, a§ it at in the case of Sophothore Hop thhi year. Students will often pay more to dance to a "!name" orchestra than to a Mediocre but IoW-priced bind. Much depends on the strident attitude a few .Weekabefore the dance. Certainly the bosom cannot be attributed to poor management. Craft of the old sort has largely been eliminated 'under the present supervised' system; Fur ther economies hi dance expenditures were made this Year. A new decorations contract, secured throtigh the Interclass Budget Committee, reduced the deeorating Oils for each dance approximately $5O, and a total saving of $lOO over last year was made on progranis and the orchestra for Sophomore Han. . Yet:there are two constant items still remaining in:the hit of dance expenditures which could be reduced. These are the two $75 compensations which are given to the dance chairman and the class president for their services, and the checking proceeds which are split be. tiWeen nersirrii. '• ' • • It is difficult . to see how any dance chairnuis and clime president can perform services Worth over $2OO for their particular dance. Yet that is what they Mt ceive. List year, the olass president and dance chair- Man for Senior Ball werla given $31.75 each from the checking nroceedii in addition to their $75 salariei. The 1933 Sophomore Hop officials received $BB.BO each froin checking, plus $75 each. This year it is likely that .the heads of the first two dance's received $25 or $3ll each in addition to the $75. Then, too, each donee chair Man and class president receives four ionipli nientary tickets to his own dance amlone to each of the other two class dances—{malting another $lB. A godd bit of the :work connected With fielding a danoo is done by the office of the Interclass Treasurer. Alihougli donee chairmen are appointed about four niantli4: before the ilatier.,: they certainly, do not labor conttini?tisly. _Thou, „the cOmpeTatiOna are -paid regardless :41‘, : :: , Whethes, or: not ~16. fiance Students wlro"htind4 44,1aW ' : last year received very little More ihan'tho'ke*he'li , ei•C in charge of the 1933 Sophomore Hop which leSt 8318. With the exception of the senior class pitiddent who dOei a great deal of work in other capacities, $5O ti Sufficient remuneration Tor services perfornied by most dance officials. This was the figure originally set by the Interclais Budget Committee in January, 1931. Tim recommendation at that time was that if the dance showed a profit, the officials would raceivia a &Mid> up to fifty percent of the net receipts. Obviously ; a $25 rellnetion in elands salaries and the eliinination of additional remuneration from Check hig would go a long way toward making up deficits or preventing a recurrence of them. The preient arrange meat is admit22olY better than the unrestricted era of cutbacks, but it is still a hangover from a political pat ronage system. The "interest in stucteitt governMent" shoVM by a dance official is Scarcely worth. $lOO. This is a matter for m'en's student government to consider before next year. Student Board is already contemplating a needed reduction in the complimentary ticket list. This would certainly be an improvenient, but not enough. Inaction id the matter will imply that this studenik throUgh their delegated r'epreSentatiVeS, don't mire whether they have to make up losSes out of their class dues funds or not. • OBSERVERS WHO MAINTAIN that college sill: dents are becoming more serious will be pleased to note two practice's which are now more or less in vogue among co-eds here.
