A MUNICIPAL STADIUM FOR ATHENS
A By MARK ANTHONY 1
Many people in recent years have spoken of a
Municipal Stadium for Athens. Few have really
considered the proposition as a serious one. It would
be fine to have such a stadium, they say, but they
do not Rive the undertaking the deep consideration
of » pra , ctical Problem nor the enthusiasm of a pos
sible and wonderful project. It is the purpose of this
article to try to point out some of the real needs that
exist for a stadium and then to consider the possi
bility of making this stadium a realization rather
than a fancy.
One naturally thinks of football when one thinks
®f ® One realizes that Athens cannot get
the big games that other towns get because she has
not the Seating capacity. The people of Athena do
not attend the games as they should, because they
do not always have good seats and because they have
had to look at the poorer games on the schedule
heretofore.
The out-of-town supporters o fthe team do not
come to Athens because they caimot get good seats
and because the games that they really want to see
are usually played in some other place. If a real
stadium were provided the big games would be
played in Athens and the hosts that now flock to the
games elsewhere would come to Athens, business
would fiorish due to the presence of so many visitors
and everybody concerned would be benefited
_ But it is not alone the University football team •
THE NEEDS OF THE UNIVERSITY
* By HAROLD PATTERSON
It is not. necessary for one to visit the University to
realize just what handicaps it is laboring under. One f
has but to consider the amounts that were provided
by the State for the University’s support last year and
■ also the fact that since 1010 there has been an in
crease of 200 per cent in the number of students en
rolled. In terms of equipment the University was
crowded in 1910; today the dormitories are packed
like sardines and the great majority of students are
forced to find rooms out in the city wherever avail
able.
What is our state doing to take care of this great
increase? In 1910 the combined maintenance funds
of the University proper and the College of Agricul
ture were $87,000; for the current year, $105,000—
less than 100 per cent increase, though the student
body increased three-fold. In view of the increased
cost of operating the institution, appropriations
should have increased 400 per cent.
While the income of the University has remained
practically stationary .for a number of years, we all
know how during the past few years of reconstruc
tion, the expenses of operation have enormously in
creased—salaries were raised so that professors
might live under the changed conditions. Labor of all
sorts doubled and tripled in cost, as did supplies such
as coal, laboratory materials, and books.
The State having failed to provide the funds, the
Board of Trustees of the University was forced to the
only alternative, namely a sharp increase in tuition
fees. Twenty years, ago the total of all fees was un
der $20.00; now a student has. to pay from $80.00 to
$125.00. This creates a very unfortunate situation—
unparnlled in in any other -state institution so far
as known, bift this Was the only way. What do par
ents think of this? What effect has this on the
large majority of boys, struggling to get through col
lege?
In 1921 the General Education Board gave tnc
University $100,000 to he used exclusively in raising
professor’s salaries. This fund will he exhausted by
■ the summer of 1924. Unless the State provides the
maintenance asked, it will be necessary to cut the
salary of every teacher, and they are already re
ceiving a bare living wage.
Other institutions with their increased funds are
drawing away from us the cream of our teaching
staff.-’ AT LEAST-50 PROFESSORS HAVE RE
SIGNED DURING THE LAST 5 YEARS to take bet
ter positions elsewhere. When a vacancy occurs in
-our University, it is almost impossible to fill it accept
ably because we cannot compete with other institu
tions.
This year the University and College of Agricul
ture are asking for $038,050, that is, fbr maintenance,
Summer School, and extension work of the College
of Agriculture, an increase of $229,500.
The question naturally arises can the State afford
to make these appropriations—indeed it can. Geor
gia is the.largest, most populous and wealthiest of
Southern States east of the Mississippi River. Texas
alone excepted, no other Southern State has so large
an income as has Gorgia.
The Revenue of the State is small because of the
discredited general property tax. We should relievo
real estate of part of its burden. Whenever we put
on the statute books a just system of taxation, the
money will come in. Thosfe who pay the bulk of
taxes will be benefitted, the. State treasury will have
money and the Institution can be saved.
At present and for a hundred years the University
of Georgia men have been leaders in every phase of
our state life.
The demand for leadership with our expanding
population and rapid economic development, is
enormously increasing. The State looks to the" Uni
versity for leadership. How can the Stnte expect
the University to perform its leadership without
money7 In what way cau a dollar be more profitab
ly invested by the State than in buildings, equipment,
and professors in the University? The stockholders
of no business corporation which has yielded such
dividends would treat the business as Georgia has
treated the University. The failure of the University of
Georgia to function properly will be the State’s loss.
that is in need of a stadium. If such were the case,
the supporters of such a measure might be accused
of selfishness. But the town of Athens, her citizens
and her various organizations could all use such a
structure. It could he used as a playground for the
children and grown-ups all the year around, but es
pecially in summer when everybody wants a place to
go for amusement or recreation in the afternoon. It
could be used to great advantage by the City Y. M.
- C. A. in its various activities. It could be used in
great festivals to which the city of Athens is now a
stranger. May-day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July,
Thanksgiving Day, and many other festal occasions
could be celebrated in a fashion that would bring
hosts of visitors and much business t* the city. It
Would be of great advantage to the city itself. It
could then invite Kiwanis, Rotary, Masonic and many
other conventions to Athens, her "industries could be
given a great boost at these convention*, new indus
tries could be invited and obtained and growth and
prosperity would obtain for this Classic City of ours.
There are many other needs for a municipal.stadium
and many other uses to which it could be put, hut I
have not here space to enumerate them. It is more
important to consider the ways to obtain this stadium,
for without a practical plan for its accomplishment
the mere image, and need of one would hardly be
worthwhile.
In the first place the stadium is practical. Mont
gomery, Nashville and other Southern cities have
erected such structures and Macon, Atlanta and Co
lumbus are planning to build. What these cities can
do, Athens can do. But how is she to go about this
project. Bonds can be floated to cover the cost of
construction. These bonds can ho so arranged that
the yearly taxes would not he appreciably increased.
If a long period is allowed for their payment there is
no reason why they cannot he voted at once. If the
city is unwilling to float bonds there are other ways
to raise the required money. With the increased at
tendance at football games, the University Athletic
Association could well afford to give a certain por
tion of the gate receipts to the payment of the debt.
The festivals, performances, and conventions could
all be taxed for the use of the stadium and many
events could be held from which the total charges
for admission could be applied in payment for the
stadium. If this were done a municipal stadium could
he made to pay for itself in a comparatively short
time.
' What we seem to nfeed now Is men, BIG MEN,
who are willing to devote energy and determination
to this project. If we can interest men to lead we
can accomplish our ambition. Citizen of Athens, it
is from your number that leaders must come.
