It is safe to say that if the Regents would determine the fate of the pro- posed uniform Athletic Association as- sessment by campus referendum the plan would be adopted. It is equally safe to say that the scheme would meet with the same success that it has al- ready won in a number of eastern uni- versities. It is quite possible that the authorities do not now realize that student authorities do not realize that by t'he present plan, in accordance with which a high price is placed upon tickets of admission, many members of the student body are actually pre- vented from attending the games be- cause of their inability to meet the charges. Attendance upon every ath- letic contest throughout a single year here at Michigan would involve a cost of not less than $30. This sum of money is a serious matter for a large proportion of students. A plan which would require a reasonable, uniform athletic tax and entitle members of the faculty and students to admission to all games would contribute largely to a stronger and higher institutional spir- it and at the same time be of financial advantage to those who need help. If, for example, a five dollar fee were charged, it would ensure the associa- tion an annual revenue of twenty-five thousand dollars besides the receipts for reserved seats at the big football games and the usual receipts from the general public. And it may fairly be questioned whether under the man- agement thus secured a larger sum would be called for. Under our present system, athletics are, by ne essity, run with an eye to the profits; and, if this were not so admission to athletic contests would be reduced to a more reasonable price. On the other hand, the academic ma- chinery is conducted for the benefit of the student first of all; and the collego expects to give him more than he pays back to its treasurer. If tuition, fees were raised to scale with the price of tickets to our "intersectional contests" we should hear no more wails of aca- demic defects. And, if, on the other hand, athletic charges were reduced to a plane with academic fees we should immediately see why in the past we have occasionally shown "lack of college spirit."
