University of Virginia Library

Fund Is Not Fixed

An added feature of the
plan is that it will grow as the
number of students at the
University increases, for the
contributions of the Council
and the Athletic Department
are both made on a per student
basis.

Ten percent of the funds
available will not be allocated
in the Spring of each year, but
will be held over until the fall
for new clubs and increased
needs of previously funded
groups.

Any money not allocated
by March 1 each year will be
distributed to the clubs in
proportion to the previous
allocation. Coupled with the
Seven Society's gift of $777.77
which was presented to retiring
Intramural Director E.R.
"Butch" Slaughter last
Saturday as an aid to needy
clubs, the new plan puts the
University's recreational
athletic teams in the best
financial shape they have
enjoyed in recent memory.

The acute crisis that the
clubs have faced, brought on
mainly by ever-increasing
demands on limited Student
Council funds, made the
eventual entry of the
Department of Athletics into
the club sports picture
inevitable. Increasing demands
on the athletic budget,
however, have made the
Department reluctant to take
on any new commitments
outside the area of
intercollegiate athletics.
