MAKE
FINE SHOWING
Profits Appear IN Every De-
partment at Whitman

Profits in every department were
shown by the reports of the several
managers of the various departments
of the Associated Students of Whit
man college at the regular semi-year-
ly meeting this morning.
Treasurer Winans of the association,
congratulated the students on the
unique report that they had enabled
him to make. Not one department he
said, failed to show a gain ranging all
the way from a few dollars to several
hundred.
Track, according to Manager Dav-
export, came out nearly $50 to the good
this year. This is the first time in the
history of Whitman athletics that track
has made money.
Baseball. up to the present time in
the unfinished season, is about S235
ahead of expenses. Manager Cahill
has worked against some uphill prOpo-
sitions but was able to show how his
department would pull out a hand
some profit, even when the added eX-
penses of the rest of the season are
counted in.
Manager Thomason showed a profit
showing for this department. Ten per
cent of this goes to the association,
the manager being given 80 per cent for
his work
The glee club and tennis made no re-
port.
Altogether, up to the present time,
counting the payment of part of their
debt and the interest on the remainder,
the Associated Students of Whitman
college are $25S.SS to the GOOD on rhis
years activities. After all other expen-
ses are paid it is hoped that there will
be good balance to apply on the debt
of the association, which has been the
| bugbear of Whitman students for years
! past.

| abandon it.
! To take the place of this the baseball
game between the faculty and seniors
will be played that afternoon, and it is
thought that there will be almost as
much amusement afforded by this
event as if the usual pilgrimage to the
scene of the Whitman massacre was
| made.
