$5O For Compensation
• The tangled finances that resulted from
.the President's Birthday Ball in Rec Hall
.several weeks • ago • have narrowed down
'more or less to two items' on the expense
sheet. It seems that the band leader and
another member of the band who is, inci
'dentally a member of the sponsoring group,
.advanced the sponsors of the dance $3B for
which they were later reimbursed. This
's3B was for expenses which had to be paid
in advance and which the sponsors at the
time did not have themselves.
Meanwhile the band had been contracted
for not less than $lOO and not more than
$l5O, depending on the number of tickets
that' were sold. Gate receipts justified the
maximum price and the band was paid in.
all $l5O. At that point the responsibility
of the sponsors in regard to the transac
tion was fulfilled.
However, the band members were paid
on the basis of $lOO which left $5O to be
split between the band leader and the oth
er member in question as "compensation
for the risk of lending" the original sum of
$3B. And that's a pretty high rate of inter
est for a short terin loan.
It looks especially qUeer since the $l5O
was supposed to be paid to the band in or
der to comply with union stipulations for
time-and-a-half for over time, and the band
played four and a half hours instead of the,
customary three hours usually played at
most campus dances.
,Since .the band Mem
bers were apparently, willing to forego the
compensation why' wasn't it turned back to
the March of Dimes fund?
Collegiate Review
University of Texas coeds have decided to go
back to the plain, old-fashioned "hello" when
they answer the telephone instead of Such fancy
ditties as "Graveyard, what can we dig up for
you?" or "Night spot, which night do you want?"
• They found out from sad experiences that male
Texans were frightened away by such responses.
Suggestion: just say "Betty Grable speaking."
According to the Utah Chronicle, University of
;Utah, it's amazing what college will do for a
girl. Professors say that the purpose of a college
l education is to broaden your outlook on life. Well,
'it does!

• The local vendors of pretzels and suds.probably were faced w'
reduced sales last weekend as a reiult of the loss of a certain,gro
of their regular customers. However, it would seem that:the influx .
"imports" made up at least part of the difference.
