              c a buck 87 suggested changes bal ance budget and pro vide 1740 surplus for unexpected expenses proposals to be submitted to board motions passed eichelberger wisner brum bach harrison and hal sted investigate books bulletin a misunderstanding by treas urer okeson in the board of con trol's budgeting procedure led to an error in the presentation of figures at the mass meeting last evening student committee rep resentatives learned at noon to day the budget may still be sat isfactorily balanced however as explained in the accompanying story a student mass meeting last night suggested revisions in lehigh's ath letic budget which will remove the necessity of abolishing any sport the revisions will not only bal ance the budget but will provide a 1740 surplus as a contingent fee for unexpected expenses the new budget is printed on this page the suggested changes will not cut the budgeted expenditures of any sport nor do they include any salary reductions in fact they even decrease the expected revenue from football by 2500 a substantial saving is also believed possible in the purchasing of equipment but no provision was made in the new budget since a definite figure could not be determined the following motions were pass ed at the meeting 1 that this meeting is opposed to the abolition of any athletic ac tivity 2 that the board of control con sider the revised budget which will be presented by a committee appointed at this meeting 3 that undergraduate members of the board of control be request ed to meet with this committee before the budget for the 33-34 season is drawn up and to present any suggestions made at that time to the board the committee appointed at the meeting consists of l h eichel berger e r wisner g e brum bach c e harrison jr organ izers of the investigation and c f halsted president of arcadia walter okeson treasurer of the university and a member of the board of control spoke at the meeting and tentatively approved the changes in the budget he stat ed however that his approval was based on general knowledge and that he could not guarantee all the revisions to be practicable prof max petersen another member of the board also attended the meeting the largest revenue increase in the revised budget consists of added receipts from student athletic fees the new figure is based on the lat est registration statistics although the profits from the columbia football game are expect ed by mr okeson to be from 3000 to 4000 more than are bud geted the student committee sug gested that the season profit be re duced from 12,500 to 10,000 budgeted revenue was further decreased by cutting the receipts from faculty ticket sales from 500 to 300 largest savings in expenditures came under plant equipment de preciation which was formerly budgeted at 20 percent of the net value and from the upkeep of tay lor field this figure was reduced from 4,500 to 3,650 a figure only one percent under the actual cost of upkeep for the past

approved at the student mass meet ing last night changes found necessary are explained below the expected athletic fee revenue was 19,980 according to fig ures from the comptroller's office this will amount instead to 20,935 but of this amount approximately 2000 must be paid to lafayette college for lehigh students admission to the lafayette game in round numbers this leaves an estimated revenue of 18,900 from this source mr okeson had been of the opinion that the 2000 had been de ducted from expected profits from the lafayette game however mr petrikin unofficially expressed the opinion that there was no need to cut the budgeted receipts from football with approximately a 3000 increase in expected revenue from the colum bia football game he believed that the football profits of 12,500 orig inally set by the board of control was safely conservative with these two changes in the student committee budget the re ceipts amount to 32,400 leaving a new contingent fund of 3,160 lincoln
