Re: UBF Expenses at MSU - WRONG CALCS
In reply to: Roving Reporter News Network 's message, "UBF Expenses at MSU" on 13:51:48 09/06/04 Mon

Your calcluations are incorrect.

- Not every member was charged the same, some paid only what the actual cost was. Foreign members did not pay any registration fee.

- Estimating $200 per person is incorrect. The average is much lower. Only a small percentage actually give significant amounts. Most students give only $5 or so.
