French Are Pleased.
Word from the other side indicates
that both French and English tennis

Last year Ray Casey and John Hen

creditably than either European or

Purdue and Iowa of all the conference

In the fact that the greatest number
of delinquents among those who sub
scribed to the various installments on
the University of Illinois stadium are
those who were student subscribers
lies a hint for promoters of future
StadiumS.
Undergraduates succumb easily, as
it has appeared. to the building prop
aganda for athletic arenas, but when
it comes to paying they are not so
enthusiastic. Of the total amount of
stadium subscriptions due January /,
last. students were down for 6913 per
cent The alumni subscribers involved
30.S7 per cent of the total sum.
The students, many of whom are
now alumni. have paid only $3.50 per
cent of their portion, while the alumni
have paid 6S52 per cent Of their
share. The delinquency on the Janu-
ary l installment is 52.02 per cent.
The stadium financiers are surprised
that percentage of payments by stu
dent subscribers is so low, especially
as Is per cent of them are now out
in the business world.
Perhaps the surprise would not be
so great if figures could be obtained
showing the average salaries these
young graduates are earning. When
they We're in college, receiving allow

through student occupations, a dollar
probably had much less significance
to them than it does now. The tend

upon his pocketbook that strike him
as having precedence even over debt
of honor.

The present Indebtedness on the
stadium at Urbana is $1S6, 900, and as
the entire stadium subscription list is
to be published this Summer, list in
which the delinquents as well as those

gathers that the stadium committee is
beginning to get warlike.
