This has been the most sue-cessful game train we have ever had. Two years ago six cars were only partly filled. But this year, we have nine cars, with some students standing. "23 cars make up the train, and in order to accomodate the rest of the students, another engine would have to have been added in Whichita, and that would make it necessary to sell to 1100 students and Idaho State sent only 390 tickets." Commenting about the senate request for more funds for a concert, Bob explained, "In past years, there has been a revolv. retary and so were not included in the primary voting.

The concerts last year lost so much it dissolved the revol-ving fund. They wanted the First Edition, but not enough tickets were sold. They were able how. ever, to make up the loss from the Fine Arts series. During the year the series gave the im. pression they would be respon-sible for the concert. Some, how, no appropriation was made." "When we started to plan for a concert, no money was avail, able. It was just a misunder. standing of all parties. Instead of trying to put on a concert with no money, we asked the Senate for $1500. It was just overlooked during regular hearings. The money," added Bob, "is only used when students don't come out." "If students would come out, we could have a concert a quar. ter," he said; Another problem Barclay listed is "which group to bring." "With the money we have to work with we can only buy groups the students don't want, he said. "If we decide to really raise the roof and get a group for $6000, what happens if the students don't come?" Winter and spring of next year will be no problem, according to the executive vicepresident. "There will be appropriations already, and if the students on the fine arts committee are active, they can reserve the funds." "My duties are mainly public relations," continued Bob.
