THE DAILY COLL - LC; lAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNS YLVANI
Movie Money
Ordinarily, the financial section 'of the news
paper is something that. most of us skip over.
:However, there are times that it. 'pays to read
about 'higher finances in the U. S.. especially when
the information gained has same Waring on your
daily life.
Last week, the !financial page of the New York
Times carried a story on the earnings of Warner
Bros. Inc. for the year ending August 31, 1946.
This report states thiat the net piofit for that
mense , corporaion was double that elf the previous
year. •
.For the fiscal year of 11(945, Wain e r' Bros. Inc.
made a 'net.priofit of aPrOnoXimately 10 Million . dial
lars, whereas for the fiscialYeanaink •Aitigpst 31;
1 1 946, they made nearly 20 Millioris.•. Though their
operating expenses Went - up around,
Lars, their income from film,lrentals: THEATER
ADMISSIONS, etc. increased alrhost 1(7 millions..,
Shortly after August al, in State College, where
the Warner Bros. happen .to run the . only' three
movie houses in town, the .adrnission prices were
upped film 50 cents to 55 cents.
Though Warner Bros. Inc. had a banner year in
0416, they again raised, prices in a town where the
majority of their customers have a .fixed income.
The supposed reason for the increase , was that
operating expenses had gone up. Now, we do not
thoroughly understand higher finances, nor all
the. problems' peculiar to the movie industry.
However, we do know that when a company dou
bles its net earnings, in one year. then they are in
la pretty good financial state. Also, that though
the prWits made by Warner Bros. are ordinarily
their business and not, ours, we think that they
owe us, their customers in State College, some re
sponsibility 'for the prices charged by their local
mlono p oly
Until such time as the Warner Bros. high com
mand sees fit to have a rollback in the admissions,
we commend the X-GT "club Tor the 'excellent' start
made by them to present movie entertainment to
the student tbody and urge all students to support
their project by attending the Tree movie offerings
on Friday and Saturday nights.

How It All Began
The Chicago meeting was really
the first American link in a long
Chain of tioternational student
events. The beginning was in Lon
don in late 1945 where •a world
conference at Prague was de
signed.
The Prague conferenc e in 1946
represented' 51 countries with the
U.S. sending 115 representatives
from national groups such as the
YMICA and 'llO representatives
Aioni strategidally iodated colleges.
An "International Unio n . of Stu
dents" was set .up, but the Amer
idan delegation returning home
Tound they could hardly speak for
all' American students. •Hence the
Chicago conference.
