A correspondent in another column objects to the charge of seventy-five cents for reserved seats at the coming H. A. A. meetings on the grounds that it is extortionate and that the association has no need of funds after the success of last winter's meetings. Though the price may with justice be called high, it can hardly be called extortionate, for no one is obliged to buy the tickets. The Athletic Association has, moreover, need of even more money this year than last, on account of the recent general changes made by the faculty in our athletics. A trainer is to be obtained who will have a regular salary, to which the Athletic Association will be expected to contribute. Moreover, the association will undoubtedly be involved in new expenses in helping to forward the plan of the new athletic grounds. It is not often that the action of the Athletic Association is criticized, and, when a just criticism has been brought up, it has always received careful consideration. In this case the college has had no means of knowing the extra expenses that the association will be obliged to meet, and the dissatisfaction which has been expressed by many was not, therefore, uncalled for. The association, in putting the price of reserved seats at seventy-five cents, felt that they were justified in doing so; but if, under the circumstances, any still think that the charge is too high, by expressing their opinions they will unquestionably be doing a favor to the association.
