BINGHAM MAKES STATEMENT EXPLAINING CONCESSIONS

Asked to comment upon the report of the Carnegie Foundation, W. J. Bingham '16, made the following statement last night:

"When I became Director of Athletics, the concessions at Soldiers Field were run by one undergraduate. To be certain that abuses would not arise, the concessions were placed under the supervision of the Assistant Director of Athletics, and in 1928, 102 students received remuneration, about half of whom were non-athletes. The amounts of money which each received were small. When it was pointed out to us that this system was open to possible abuse we turned over all of the concessions at Soldiers Field to the Employment Office.
