Page 2 October, 1964 Where Does Our Money Go? Many students seem to gripe about this matter because no one seems to know where our money really goes. As you read on maybe you'll wonder how our school runs on the money we give it. Is it really enough? The total income of BCHS, according to the 1963-64 account, was $113,263.52. Where did this money come from? Your answer - high school tuition brought in a total of $59,524.60. Subject fees, for such departments as typing, science, and business, brought in a total of $9,119.45. Extraordinary income gifts and donations. Home and School association, Music Guild chocolate sale and miscellaneous brought in a total of $8,924.26. Our total expenditures were $116,862.29. Expenditures for group insurance and salaries totaled $72,543.51. As you look at this figure, stop and appreciate the teachers we have who give their best regardless of the low range of salary they receive, and then be thankful we have them. Other 1963-64 expenditures were as follows; Fuel $6,984.12 Office Supplies $905.68 Utilities 5,151.58 Instructional Exp. 2,289.94 Repairs 2,376.71 Chapel 129.02 Maintenance Ser. 825.25 Telephone 750.31 Maintenance Sup. 2,784.01 Miscellaneous 206.81 Equipment 8,818.49 Spec. Subject Equip. Equipment 7,331.28 Insurance 1,403.12 Defict from Revol- ving funds 900.25 Extraordinary expenditures were: Garage Rental 120.00 Debt Service 1,850.00 Not included in the above is Home and School operations, $3,848.89; Music Guild operations, $3,062.34; and the Athletic association operations, $7,500.92. In other words these figures are the total income of each of the associations. What they gave the school was listed as such. The rest was used for depart- mental or special purposes. By simply looking at the income and expenditures one can tell we don't waste our money. It is used for what is needed in a practical way.

S. on November 3, 1964. There are several basic reasons for this. The fundamental block of his power lies in the fact that Mr. Johnson does not create undue public attention as does Senator Goldwater every time he voices his opinion. He seems rather to have built up an arsenal of esteem in the minds of 100 million voters with his numerous talents and achievements. In this manner, whatever he does or orders, the people feel right in their president's de- cisions. There are other major insrances where the people will favor L.B.J. in November. Probably the one of continual prosperity looms as the domestic issue where Goldwater cannot wage an attack on the Democratic administration. In the field of business-labor, the majority of the national labor barons are afraid and are quite anti-Goldwater and express contentment with Lyndon. Goldwater continually strikes at Johnson's so-called cutback in military strength, but he has yet to prove his accusations. And he will not, because there is no expla- nation for this in the light of increased U.S. successes and production in mechanized weapons. Mr. Goldwater spoke to an audience in Charleston, West Virginia, on Johnson's war on poverty as a phony, vote- getting gimmick and a raid on your pocketbooks. West Virginia, incidentally, is one of the most depressed areas in America. Shades of Barry's speaking again - wrong speech, wrong place. And in the most important nuclear conflict, one that is slowly detracting even Goldwater's staunchest followers, the senator states firmly: area commanders should have the authority to decide on the use of nuclear weapons. Presi- dent Johnson conversely stresses responsibility and re- straint in these matters. Simply, then, the question boils down to this: would you rather have a man, dangerously inexperienced, of most uncertain discretion, on the nuclear ponic button - or would you have Lyndon Baines Johnson? I certainly would support President Johnson. Continuing, I shall again vote for Lyndon in the field of Thanks! c° ‘- “ A note of thanks goes to the faculty members who unselfishly gave up their time to chaperon our school dances. Surely they have many other things to do BCHS studonts and faculty •xtand sympathy to the family of Mary Krause ('60) who died last month after a long illness; And to Father Lenarz, whose father died Sept. 17.

Fage.3 October, 1964 vs Goldwater With the elections coming up in a few weeks I think we should make an attempt to draw our own conclusions about the candidates and not have our minds made up for us. The two major parties have nominated their standard bearers and the time is coming when the best man will be chosen. Barry M. Goldwater, the junior Senator from Arizona will be selected. Now there are those among you who claim that Senator Goldwater is a radical and an imprudent man. But I ask you to consider the foct that we are in a undeclared war in South Vietnam today. Who are the imprudent men? Are they the temporary President and his advisors, who lack the will or the couroge to even attempt to win, or is it Barry Gold- water, the man who is willing to assume the responsibility of victory? At the present time our fighting men are being killed and for no apparent reason. They have been risking their lives, and because of the ineptness of our President, the free government of South Vietnam continues slowly to capitulate. Let me ask you again, who is the imprudent man? Is it Barry Goldwater, who recognizes the danger to the entire Western Hemisphere from the bearded maniac in Cuba, or is it President Johnson who is so blind as to believe that the United States has no enemies at all? Perhaps he’s wander- ing arould in the dark since he has ordered the lights turned off in Washington D.C.! Senator Goldwater sees the enemies of the United States for what they are - Communists who would stop at nothing to overcome us. Barry Goldwater will stop the sausage policy of the Communists. With his as President we won’t policy of the Communists. With him as President we won’t end up as the last piece of sausage for the Reds to gobble up. Laying aside what I have said so far, and the evidence of corruption in our national government - such as Bobby Baker, Billie Sol Estes, and a few others, I ask you to consider what worries me most. Our government has devel- oped an alarming drift toward Communism. I ask you to consider State Department Publication 7277 entitled “Freedom From War. This gives us the official policy of the present administration to destroy our army, navy, and air force, as well as Nuclear striking force, and to have us rely on a United Nation’s peace force. You all have heard of Cyprus and the Congo which have,’ or have had, UN peace forces. If this isn’t enough, let me tell you about the Rostow Report. It is a master plan on Cont. page UN Seeks Peace, Hyman Good Sine th« United Nations came into existence 19 years ago it has tried, not always successfully, to maintain international peace and security. With this as its goal the UN has striven to attain its other purposes, namely, to develop friendly relations among nations, to achieve international cooperation in solving international problems, and to be a center for nations to let off steam in another way than by war. The UN was started in 1946 when most people agreed that something must be done to prevent another such terrible slaughter from ever happening again. Its membership of 51 countries quickly grew until it reached the membership of 112 countries it is today. Many smaller organizations work under the support and super- vision of the United Nations. These organizations were formed when the countries realized that a healthy world peace means not only the forced prevention of war but also the building of a better way of life all over the world. The International Refugee Organization has brought over a million displaced persons - whose homes have been demolished by war or disaster or who are no longer able to eke out a meager subsistence in their homeland - to new countries and new homes. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Or ganization has greatly reduced the ignorance throughout the world through schools, farm programs and vocational institutions. It has created understanding among nations through appreciation of one another’s scientific, educational and cultural accomplish- ments. Three councils of the UN which I am sure mean the most to the needy people and to their mother countries are WHO, FAO and UNICEF. WHO, the World Health Organization, trains per- sonnel, sends medicines and sets up hospitals where their help is needed most. It also establishes laboratories for research and experimentation. FAO, the Food and Agriculture Organization brings food, supplies and farm equipment for a limited time to a disaster-stricken area. The United Nations International Child- ren's Emergency Fund, commonly called UNICEF, is the only agency devoted exclusively to the welfare of children and mothers throughout the world. Pooplo the world over have varied ideas of the United Na- tions. Some Americans feel that the United States is carrying too much of the load and that other countries aren't putting in their fair share. Some fear that the UN might someday become the dominant world power. There are many people however who have an entirely different opinion of the UN. These are the children who receives a hot bowl of soup and a glass of milk, the woman who receives a piece of clothing, the man who is given equip- ment to support his family, the displaced person who gets a new start in life, the citizens of a city which was destroyed by a volcano eruption for whom shelter is provided and the country which becomes independent with the help of UN forces. These people express their opinion of the UN through a heart warming smile, a thank-you and a promise of a prayer. Nancy Fenrick
