THE VASSAR STUDENTS.
Orlciai Explanation OF the Significance OF
"Organiycd Pleasures.'

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuH-Sir! The
paragraph on your editorial page October
90 on the Vassar arithmeticians' calcu-
lations shows that your interest In ths
Vassar work demands an explanation and
we will greatly appreciate the courtesy
II you will publish, for your readers Also
this information.
In the rough estimate that a committee
OF students made Of the amount spent on
organized pleasures" the now much
quoted sl7,52i said to be spent last year
on organized pleasures" demands a more
itemized statement. The estimate in
cluded all dues paid for all clubs and
societies In the college, including the
class organizations the support OF the
senior annual. tho Vussdrton; the sub
scriptions to the literary monthly and
weekly. the Mtscelidry; the money ex-
pended on the chief dramatic perform
ances, including the three hall plays Of
the year. and the expenses OF such pub
lie functions as class receptions and
Founders Day.
In other words the expenses are such
that the normal social life of the college
could hardly go on without them. The
amount could not he diminished very

sidered in proportion to the number OF

Is the average amount that each student
spends in year for all club dues. for
the college publications and all important
social functions
But the students. in their sensitiveness
TO the sadness of the war situation
and the problem OF unemployment at
home. held mass meeting to see how
they could further reduce their expendl-
lures. At this meeting Professor Her
bert T.. Mills. the head OF the department
of economics, did 40 Just what your edI-
torial article suggests should be done for
"the Nassar arithmetlcians." He urged
the student body to do as little as possible
TO accentuate the bad situation, to CON
tlnue buying as they had before In order
not to add TO the dIsarrangements of busi-
ness and trade, advised that they should
not spend less than formerly II they
could help It because spending less would
simply make more unemployment. and
finally stated that they should try TO
make their expenditures always as wise
as possible.
on the basis Of this advice the
Students Association voted to curtail all
useless extravagant and Improbable ex-
pendltures for the year and to recon-
mend similar resolutions TO the other
organizations In the college.

TO rHE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir: In

guided merely by tho consciousness of right

The state banking Department will de-
cde within tho week the question OF a
basis for appraisal OF the securities held

acceptance OF the July 80 prices. when
trading in securities stopped. Its thought
that this will give lower figures than the
