STUDENT FINANCES

Lax Methods Bring Forth
a Complaint From the
Editor of College Daily
CHANGE is SUGGESTED

BERKELEY, Sept IA hint OF scan

versity enterprises over which students
have control is conveyed to the student
body today in an editorial in the Can-
furnian. the college daily, of which a.
c. B. Fletcher Is editor. There have
been rumbiings before when accounts
of student publication managers were
audited, but not until today has a
student editor been found with nerve
sufficient to attack an incipient scan
dal of the sort. Fletcher writes Of the
matter az follows
The university has had many finan-
cial troubles in the last few yeaTs-the
McKowen case in connection with the
administrative department and the nu-
merous financial mix ups In under
graduate affairs. The Occldent Maya
zine. the Journal of TECHNOLOGY. the
Blue and Gold and the Californian nave
all had more or less financial trouble
1t seems to us the whole trouble lies
not with the men who have charge OF
these activities, but the fact that many
departments of university life are run
on an unbusinesslike basis. There Is
very little system, things are not done
promptly. and sometimes it is hard Tor

tutions with which they are connected.
II student does some work for the
university authorities he has TO wait
an unreasonably long time for his pay.
He is put off time and time again from
the secretary's office. What Is the trou-
BILE? We can solve it in only one way.
Then in undergraduate affairs the
students have no hold on the men who
manage the college publications. the
college plays and dances. Reports are
supposed to be submitted. but very
often never materiaiize. and when they
do they are often loose and mislead-

was confirmed the same day the report

seen no account of an interview with
Mr.. Blackburn on the outcome of his

hope he has come to the conclusion
that he has talked enough and that he
will keep quiet until after his indict-

Washington that a district attorney
from some other state will conduct
these prosecutions. Assistant Attor-

will hardly be able to attend the court
