Above Right: Here to attend that football game in 1941, eleven members of the first class to attend the UA in 1891. They are seeking to express their individuality. It ' s not mere rebelliousness but an awakening of their souls. They want to live and show their own identity. They want to shout, Hey, look. This is me. This is the way I really am! The wondrous part is that they choose so many different ways to express themselves. And the wonderful part is that you ' ve got a place for all of them. You don ' t make value judge- ments, either. You accept the young man from a small town who learned to love Emily Dickinson in his high school English course. And you provide an academic atmosphere of literary apprec- iation where he won ' t be term- ed a sissy for his sensitivity. You accept the unshaven sandal-clad drama student. You give him professors to help him, whether he ' s trying to interpret Shakespeare or Garcia-Lorca or if he ' s writing and producing his own play. You guide the engineering student.

1930 WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES How much of the $28 you pay each semester goes toward football? Basketball? Baseball? Track? Tennis? Polo? These are questions that many students would like answered. In the first place $8.75 of the $28 tuition fee is allotted for student activities, which include athletics. Thus if you are here both semesters you pay $17.50 into the student activity fund. First $2.50 is taken off for the Desert , leaving $15 for the student fund. Of this fif- teen 58%, or $8.70, goes for athletics (the four major sports and tennis). Polo comes out of a separate four per cent slice. In short, here ' s the approximate amount you pay fof each sport per year: 21 Football Basketball Baseball Track Tennis . Polo Athletic General Fund.. $3.00 $1.25 $1.00 .$1.00 $ .35 $ .60 $1.10 They are looking for a stereo- type spirit where Betty Coed and Joe College live and die for the Alma Mater. No, you don ' t have the to- getherness and unity of pur- pose found in small colleges. This is what makes you a great university. Your spirit is so big it allows every student a chance to pursue and develop his own individuality. Many of your students are freshmen. They all come want- ing and expecting a complete change from high school. They all find it. So many of them come frustrated, not even knowing themselves as sep- arate individuals. For the last four years they ' ve been mold- ed and shaped in the typical high school or prep school tradition. Top Left: Twenty years ago jobs in Tucson were plentiful. Above: ROTC horses prove to be too much of an expense, and are auctioned off. The absence of horses put an end to the UA polo team in 1945.
