COUNCIL BUDGET GIVES MONEY TO CHARITIES

According to statistics on the annual Student Council budget given out last night by J. R. Collins '32, treasurer of the Council, the total receipts so far have reached the sum of $8039.93, which is more than $500 less than last years fund at this time.

It has been definitely decided to give $4000 of this sum to the officials of the Phillips Brooks House to distribute to its charities. Although the greater part of the pledges were received at the beginning of the year, about $500 of these have not as yet been payed.

Since December, when the Council had received $7319.93, a number of donations to the fund were turned in, boosting the figure by $720, an unusually large return for so short a period. Subtracting the portion which goes to the Phillips Brooks House, there is now $4039.93 available for miscellaneous charities and class expenses. $1500 is the sum which has been voted to charities. The various small charities which are supported will be decided next week. From the remainder a considerable amount will go for the preparation of the class album, which is partially self-supporting. Photographs for the nominees for the class officers cost over $200.

Many of the usual charities to which parts of the Student Council Fund is sent will not receive a portion this year. In some cases the charities got shares of the $26,000 collected for distribution by the Students Council during the Dartmouth, Holy Cross, and Yale games. Other charities have been recipients of Cambridge City funds, and other large special donations.
