OCTOBER. 1940 Soatd o QoitQtnoti $3,800 BUDGET PASSED W ' itli a surprising Lick of argu- ment. Student Bonrd of Governors, divided up its income from the stu- dent activities fee into six m.ijor approprl.itions .it the Board meet- ing of October 16. Bo.ird members who s.it through List year ' s tempestuous budget ses- sions, when argument Listed for weeks, could scarcely believe their ears when representatives ayed mo- tion after motion after only scatter- ed comments. The budget is very similar to the one adopted last year. Only excitement came when Social Committee Chairman Don Rosensteele complained that S75 was not enough to enable the com- mittee to adequatelv fill 16 dates alloted it for all-college functions. The S7 5 was the amount suggest- ed for the Social Committee in the proposed budget submitted bv Vice President George Davis. Promptly, Bcflninuiii Business Manager i ' ayne Burdue, present though not a board member, sug- gested that S5U be deducted from the Bcfhaniaii appropriation and transferred to the Social Committee. Then came another suggestion that ■s50 more be given the Social Com- mittee from the $70 offered to de- bate but unaccepted. Both sugges- tions were moved and approved by the SBOG, giving Social Committee S850 to work with, most in manv years. 1939-1940 1940-41 Publications S2400 $2250 Social Com. 750 850 SBOG 275 275 Orchestra 75 75 Band 200 200 Interest groups 200 130 Totals 3900 3800 In 1939-40 the band w.is alloted $200 in the budget, but an addi- tional $50 was given it later in the year, the money coming from the Interest Group Fund. The SI 30 appropriated for the Interest Groups this year is divided as follows: Bethespian Club, i5 0; Interna- tional Relations Club, S3 5; Radio Club, S30; Ministerial Association S15. Included in the appropriations for Publications each year is $400 giv- en to the Board by the college. For many vears this money has been used by the Board to provide scholar- ships for the editor and business manager of the college publication. Since any unused appropriation reverts to the college at the end of the year, except in Publications, where the account is open and runs from one year to the next, the Board decided to require each organization receiving an appropriation to report any balance in the spring. Then, the Board hinted it would applv these balances toward improvements, to the Student Activities Office and elsewhere, rather than allow the money to revert to the general funds of th e college. HOW SBOG SPENDS ITS SHARE Student Board has spent SI 16.50 of the S295 allotted it for the cur- rent years, according to SBOG Presi- dent Lyle Mayne. Major part of the expenditures went for Sodbusters, first all-coll- ege social function of the year, which is always sponsored b) ' SBOG. Most of the remainder went for the W. J. Victory Dance, which SBOG would gladly pay for ever ' year if it could. Total expense account of Sod- busters was $78, S60 for Niles Carp ' s Orchestra, $18 for minor ex- penses. Cost of the extremely in- formal Victory Hop was $30 for band and S2 for incidentals. Other SBOG expenses so far have included $4.5 for supplies and S2 for secretarial work. W. J. COUNCIL TO VISIT SBOG As an aftermath of the paint smearing episode at Washington and Jefferson, SBOG President Mayne invited the W. J. Student Coun- cil to come to Bethany for a joint session with the Bethany Student Board. While no definite date for the meeting has been set, a reception committee composed of William Wells, chairman; and Betty Murphy, Frances Dvorak, and Jack Pryor, is planning for the event.

In spite of his classical background (ahem!) — five years of Latin to keep him from turning out journalese — quite enjoys talking down to the rest of us farmers. Besides being Prof Roberts ' little son, he is also his pappy ' s walking experi- mental education laboratory. Why does Dick, a journalism major, take such killers as ph ' sics and math? Because then when he grows up he will have his brain all exercised without learning the names and addresses of all the people in the telephone book. Dick is interesting not onlv to his father, but also to us as a note of color on the campus. Though he writes like Mortimer Snerd, fresh from the country with the hay still in his hair, Dick is quite the boy in such organizations as the football team (understatement, we hear the team is the organization.) For his whizzy work in the game against W. J. Dick was given French fried potatoes, a bucket of milk, and Ivory soap, his favorite food.

OCTOBER. 1940 mill ' iiiiiiiii VICTORY SONG BETHANY BEATS W. AND J. AT FOOTBALL Bring on the band, boy, beat on the big drum, Blow on the brasses, boys, here they come; The beautiful, the energetic, the strong, The jazz babies, the fighters, the supremely young. Heady to rock the world, the darlings, the champs. Eyes burning like thousand-watt lamps. Hands clapping, feet beating with furious joy, Throats ready to yell it — Here she comes. Boy! Watch the girl in the green and white sweater. The style of her, the line of her — Get her! Watch the Dean lead the band, the vim of him. Watch the President holding that pigskin. Sainted brown relic that helped the team win, Watch the smiting coach yelled off his feet. Warn, There ' s another game coming but well, this was sweet. Yes, Victory was sweet and loud in Bethany today, O victory came in with cows and buffalos, O victory was everywhere in the air today. Vibrant in hands and spines, electric in toes. Reeling out of the gold mouths of the brasses. Beating and bursting out of the grand big drums. And the air was charged with stories of forward passes. Victory, victory is here. Yes sir! here it comes Marching up the aisle, dancing down the hall, what a proud day, ivhat a grand day, what a story WLwn the college stopped and nothing was done at all But victory was done, yes victory was well done that day of glory! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the light ami the dark, 1 give you Victory. I give you this immortal spark, But let me before I leave you for more dejected places Ask you one question, you of the triumphant faces — What ivoidd happen to the world, would kingdom come If this energy, this vita lity, this power, this big drum. This clan, this thousand-watt lamp of yours were fhtng Into a great world-beating America-making song? What would happen if for once you suddenly gave Victory to the defeated, the poor, the sick, the brave. If ivith that teani-u ' ork, that gusto, that da)! that savoir-faire That style you uent out and cleaned up a mess here or there. Re-built a town, had an idea, wrote a poem or play, Would the college, tell me, declare another holiday. If you all went out u ' ith the Dean at the head And worked another kind of miracle instead? Believe me, America is in your hands like that pigskin To be cherished and fought for and, only maybe win. Gentlemen, life is in your hands, a tough sweet game Permit a poet to hope that you will make victory its name. But Victory for the many and Victory to giie and share With t he defeated, the down hearted, the backs against the wall, everywhere!
