The NSAA expects to
clear a similar profit this

NSAA reported that the to

cage festivals were approx
imately $170,000, including
$59,000 from the state tour

State tournament receipts
don't represent pure profit
because, just as in a large

costs for the state tourney
last year at about $19,900,

to Time it is funny and should give
SINA the last, best laugh.
The unveiling of the group's master

newsy march oa the White House by
three stalwarts of the organization. Even
White House policemen, inured to pickets
of all types, did double takes to the play
cards that popped up on Pennsylvania

One of them read "Mr. President:
the indecency of naked animals can be
corrected through new federal laws
and SINA." Another read, "Mrs. Ken
nedy, Won't you please clothe your horse
for decency?" SINA was really on the
March.
They marched, in fact, aU three of
them, around the block for seven hours.

in the title of the organization because

The total number of ad-
missions for the whole sc-

starting at the district
level and progressing
through the regional to the
state was about 130,000 for
1962, Thompson estimated.

an average of 1,400 fans for
each twney, or 500 people
for eaci session. Thompson,
after this average district
and play-off attendance was
determined, termed the
180,000 total figure "a con
servative estimate."
The NSAA executive said
that last year's estimate
represents the largest at
tendance in the 53-year his
tory of the prep carnivals.
He attributed the increase
in attendance to three rea
sons: 1. Increased interest.
i. The economic condi
tions today are such that
people can afford to go to
the tourney games.
3. There are better high

"The attendance at the

The total gate receipts
from aU the tourneys last
year was $i?v,333.6i. This
figure is almost identical
to the $170,682.21 total in
1961 but was the biggest
gate receipt total since the
tournament process was or
iginated in 1911, according
to Thompson.
"This figure ($170,998.61

pated," he said, pointing out
that there seemed to be a
large amount of interest
last year because of the

Asian Flu Moves
Towards Campus
Attention, all campus senior
citizens, students with heart
lung conditions and pregnant
coeds you are particularly
susceptible to the flu that is
moving westward across the
United States.
According to Dr. Harry Mc
Fadden of the University Col
lege of Medicine, immuniza
tion is the best means of con
trolling this viral desease
which attacks the respiratory
system with considerable
speed.
The short incubation period
of one to two days and the
speed of travel today are con
tributing factors to the epi
demic scale which the flu
has reached in this country.
Symptoms occuring first
are chills, some fever accom
panied by a headache, ex

How did 1962's gate re
ceipts compare with past
years? In 1936, for exam
ple, the total receipts from
all district, play-off and
state sessions were approx
imately $11,000.
The rate .of increase is
not as great as it seems
($170,000 compared to $11,
000), however. Thompson
warned, "The cost of ad
mission per individual has
doubled in that length of
time. People who used to
travel at 25 cents apiece,
now don't bat an eyelash at
$1."
Taking the doubling fac
tor into consideration, a re
adjusted 1936 figure at to
day's prices might show a
$22,000 intake, still far be
low last year's $170,000 to
tal The $53,000 receipts from
the state tourney more
than offset the $19,000 costs
which the NSAA paid to run
off the three-day fireworks.
Thompson said the state
tourney costs include: $300
for eight trophies; $100 for
five basketballs; $11,500 for
team refunds which cov
ers team traveling, lodging
and food expenses; $2,000

money is being spent unwise
ly is that of the last minute
ordering of quantities like
bread, he said. When the
FMA began its bread buying
program last year, the mem
bers were requested by the
supplier to order their bread
one week in advance. House
mothers raised many ques
tions about the order sched
ules. A quick call by the FMA
resulted in cutting the ad'
vance ordering time down to
two days, a demonstration of
how much power mass-buy
ing has, Gregory said.
But for some housemothers,
even this two-day set up was
not desirable. Several were
violently opposed to the new
program, and one tried to or-
Ding out. he continued After
trying the program for two
weeks, a previously irate
housemother announced to her
boys that the program was
wonderful,? all it took was a
little getting used to, he said.
The FMA is set up to save
money, to put the fraternities
on a competitive basis with
the larger purchasers on cam
pus. The FMA plan, introduced
last year at the University by
the Interfraternity Council,
began with the three staples:
laundry service, baking goods
and dairy products.
At that time, bids were
sent out to all companies n-
' gaged in supplying those
goods and sevices. The in
dividual companies could bid
on single items At they could
submit a bid covering the
whole category. ,
The low bid for laundry was
presented by Evans laundry,
which allows the member or
ganizations a 10 discount on
all work.
The baking goods contract
went to Peter Pan Baking:
scorers and timers; $3,500
for other personnel, includ
ing custodians, ticket sell
ers, ticket takers and ramp
guards; $1,000 for rent for
the playing sites other than
the Coliseum, which is rent
free; and miscellaneous,
$600, including printing
costs.
The NSAA draws only a
small percentage of money
from the district and re
gional tourneys as most of
the receipts go to the com
peting schools. Likewise, the
NSAA office handles very
few of the costs involved in
running these sessions.
Specifically, the organiza
tion does pay for the dis
trict trophies, which cost
$32 for each tourney in the
64 districts or about a $2,
000 expense, Thompson
said. He also estimated the
cost of officials for the dis
tricts at about $13,000 and
balls at $1,300, but these are
paid for by the schools in
the districts. Likewise, the
team refunds are awarded
by the district or regional
officials in charge.
If a district or play-off
tourney results in a finan
cial gain, then the teams

have warehouses run by men
who are paid a salary to do
nothing else, he said.
' The advantage of tb
FMA here is that we have do
